Day one was a night mare. I would compare it to a drug addiction withdrawal. Headache, dizziness, weakness, vertigo, EMOTIONAL. I was a pretty good mess all day. I'm a HUGE fan of starch, pasta, rice potatoes. I eat fruit every day at least four times a day, and I loooooooove chai lattes. I love carbs. So going from a carb rich diet to... salad, tuna and water for lunch was a nightmare. Though some of the problem I'm sure was I REALLY wasn't prepared for how bad it might hit me. Exhausted. Just totally drained, I was in bed asleep by ten; I usually stop reading and go to sleep at midnight....
second day... was not that bad.. nothing spectacular happened really. I felt a bit moodier, better though because we went shopping again to get some more things to eat and munch on -- I'm a muncher all day every day. Especially when I'm bored. I love food... -- The morning was pretty rough actually. But I'm not a big breakfast eater ever, so I didn't have anything (but I did down one of the Atkins choco shakes but after that didn't work and I still felt horrid I had one of those smores Atkins bars things) Usually I just have an XL steeped tea from timmie's and I'm good for the morning and sometimes the afternoon. Almost got myself into a mess from that episode, by the time lunch hit I was vibrating and felt like my insides were trying to come outside... not fun. But after I ate I was.. better.
Today was not bad at all. I switched my strategy up. If I eat in the morning it's AFTER my shower. I ate before today and felt fine by the time 9 hit. Which was a wonderful relief. Still pretty emotional, lunch came at a good time, because I was ready to burst into tears over silly things in class (mixing black is not fun...) Ate, felt fine. I suppose I should also mention going to the washroom was annoying. I don't normally go at school but I went four times today D: and a yellow-green color is the new thing, didn't you know? Hungry again by 6, had a tea... Good day though. As long as I remember to eat BEFORE showering or any other activity that makes me too hot, I should be good.
I would love to have spaghetti right now ... I would cut off three toes for a big 'ol plate of spaghetti and garlic toast...
