Oh man--the Snickers bar was NOT the highlight of yesterday. I still have 1/2 of it left in fact. A few hours into work I began to feel sick to my stomach. At the time I contributed the feeling to the oil I ate in the morning--although that didn't really make sense---after all, I easily eat that much oil on popcorn and probaby 5 times as much on a greasy pizza and that never bothers me. It was a kind of overfull--I might feel better if I threw up kind of a feeling. Also my shoulders and neck were aching. At lunchtime I thought that if I ate something it might help absorb the oil. It helped.
I didn't really feel a whole lot better till about 8 in the evening--the ache passed itself off and my stomach felt a little better. I didn't eat dinner and I think that was the right choice too. Today I'm still a little off. I remember feeling a similar way once while I was working in the math dept. I do think it's a bit of a virus and not the oil. Nevertheless--no oil today. Blech. But I will keep trying to work it in (EASY!), yesterday was the first day since I started WW that I haven't been running to the bathroom every hour. That has become a real problem! Not just needing to go frequently, but needing to go IMMEDIATLEY. It's gotten so bad that I went to the doctor and got a prescription. The meds help a little, but yesterday's oil seemed to help a lot.
I had noticed before that when I eat "normally" meaning eating whatever I like (man, I really need to redefine normal), I don't have the bathroom problem. Talk about delicate tuning! I hope that just having a little will stop the problem without stopping weight loss.
Speaking of weight loss---the benefit of any stomach problem is weight loss! 188 today!!! I love seeing numbers I haven't see in years. I realize that this is probably just a fluky thing--as soon as I eat anything I'll be back up--but I don't care--the lower those little flukes go, the harder it is for the upward spikes to hit really scary numbers. It's fun to think that I could go on a total binge today and still wouldn't hit 200 tomorrow. I want to put as much distance as I can between me and 200. And I'm not tempted to eat a bunch today--I still feel off and I just need to hit 187 for the insurance goal. SO CLOSE!!
188 means 20 pounds! What a fight! 20 pounds in 25 weeks. Well, that's almost as good as what the SENSA ad promises--just goes to show one doesn't need any pills. And I still love that I've been able to incorporate real restaraunt meals and special occasions and vacations into my life. But today I want to be good--although, come to think of it, I'll still be including some junk food. I need to go to ww and log on the exact points but the day (assuming I don't get sicker) will go something like:
Bfast--english muffin w butter
1 oz cheddar cheese (not as appealing today as it usually is)
milk
Lunch:
wrap--these are always on whole wheat tortillas with horseradish, 6 slices of deli meat-usually roast beef-spinach and peppers, 6 olives, 21 cheeto puffs, yogurt. 1/2 snickers bar
Snack--banana
Dinner:
omelete with blue cheese, bacon, and maybe fried potatoes if I am hungry and have the points.
