I promised my friend that I would help her move in. I did not realise at the time that they had no power, and that they would have no power until Wednesday. I kept thinking, 'good thing I didn't bring my own food, it would have had to be eaten today.' Well, no power=no fridge. No fridge= a lot less food choices. Not to mention they're living paycheck to paycheck.
So we had pizza for dinner. Okay, I can live with that. Just pizza. I hadn't eaten since 8am, when I'd only had half a slice of pita bread, some cream cheese and spinach (my mother left my pre-made breakfast out all night, so I had no breakfast, and by the time I realised it it was too late.) So I had 3 slices of pizza (throughout the day), and 2 slices of garlic bread. That's a lot of bread, but okay, fine.
That's at 3-4PM. The only thing in the house later (7PM-3AM)is chips. So I eat them. Stupidly, I bought a bag of skittles and a water when we stopped at a gas station. A big bag. Because that was all I could afford. Either that, or some bag of chips. I had $31, that magically went missing from my purse when I showed up the other day. All that was left was assorted coins.
For breakfast today, we went to the dollar store, where I got enough money to buy combos.
So all I've had to eat in the last 2 days is just JUNK. And my stomach is paying for it now. I feel horrible. To top it off, my blood sugar was so low I asked my mom to stop somewhere--anywhere-- for some food on the way back. McDonalds.
Tomorrow I'm starting over, no doubt about it. I never realised how junk/fast food made me feel until yesterday. Now I know why I don't eat the stuff anymore. I feel soooo bad. My stomach has been bubbling and roaring and I've had the runs and everything. On top of that, one of my fillings fell out today NOT.
I am SO scared to see what that scale says tomorrow morning. I could have made better choices I guess. I'm just so glad it was only 2 days, and not a week. I'd have gained the full 15 back by then.
I guess this is just a little rant/update. It's not like I/we could help it, but I guess I really didn't need the skittles.
