belly ache December 19, 2008
I feel like i’ve been doing nothing but whining and moaning for a week straight!! but, my belly hurts! Ever since i had that allergic reaction i have just not been myself. I am finally off the prednisone, but I think i am still having side effects from it. I was light headed for like two days and just felt wierd. I felt really dizzy and light headed this afternoon when i got to work, now i have a stomach ache. I just want to feel normal again!! I’ve worked out for the past four days and have done ok eating wise. I did eat cake and some chinese food on tuesday for DS birthday which i hadn’t planned, but oh well. Then tonight at work i had a few chicken wings (which might be the cause of my achy stomach). So I haven’t binged or stuffed myself or anything, but i could have made better choices. I am a little nervous about the next week. My hubby’s sister is flying in for christmas and we will no doubt go out to eat. Then there’s the inevitable christmas gorge. ugh….. why can’t i just have control around food?? I dont think that will ever happen. I will do the best I can tho :) I just hope to be able to “eat right” until christmas. Listen to me… i sound like its completely out of my control. Actually I have complete control of what goes into my mouth, but sometimes it just doesn’t feel like it.
B- honey nut cheerio’s with 2% milk
S-light string cheese stick
L- smart ones beans and rice meal, a small peach
D- some chicken wings and a couple handfulls of tortilla chips (sigh)
S- apple and orange
“Actually I have complete control of what goes into my mouth, but sometimes it just doesn’t feel like it.”
This brought to mind a mental picture of someone being held down and forced to eat, say, three slices of chocolate pudding pie. Now in that situation I could say it was out of my control! (It just so happens that on Thanksgiving I ate three slices of CPP!)
It’s a good point, though. We do have complete control. Whether we decide to take that control or abandon it, is a matter of individual determination. How determined - HOW STUBBORN! - are we?
Oh, and I hope your belly feels better soon!
Hang in there, this will pass and hopefully things will settle down in January and we can take things to a higher level.
Geez…This allergic reaction has got to stop. Hope you find out what’s going on!
Have a wonderful Christmas! Hope everything is back to normal by then.
