Is it ok to starve your cold?
 
I think i'm coming down with a cold or something. My throat's all scratchy and I just don't feel good. Now I'm not meaning to complain or anything, however I do have a problem. I'm not hungry. Silly, I know, but I'm not. I know we're supposed to eat though so I'm wondering if any of ya'll have ideas on what I can eat. I've not ever been sick on WW before so I don't know what would be best. And is it ok not to eat all my points on days like this? I just don't know if I can make myself eat all of them. Wow, I never thought I'd have to make myself eat. :D TIA!

Make sure you drink a lot of fluids
 
and eat clear broth soups. You need to keep up your strength, and a little bit of soup will probably make you feel better.

juices, broth based soups, soft foods, milk

This is just my opinion, as I'm not a WW employee or a doctor, but I think I remember The Getting Started booklet saying it was ok to occasionally eat below your points as long as you get in at least 20, but if you're sick I think you have to listen to your body above all. If you're just not hungry, I would try to get in a minimum of the the 20 points, but if eating makes you feel sicker, just try your best to get some points in with fluids like diluted juices and broths as best you can.

Hope you feel better soon.
