As I think I have mentioned, I have been so insanely jealous of BS that I haven’t been able to eat. Besides the lack of appetite, whenever I do eat, it is something really healthy. Lots of homemade soup and Spa Lean Cuisine. And coffee.
At any rate, I have noticed something interesting. It seems that all of the food I was eating before was making me sick in ways that I didn’t realize. I ate a sample of something in the supermarket and got all choked up. I ate something at work and got a headache. Thanksgiving, I ate a small plate of rich food and thought I was going to lose it. Apparently, my body is so glad to be rid of the rich food, additives and so on that it doesn’t like it much when they are added back in.

I realized that after not eating any sugar for three weeks, that if I eat so much as half a donut or one piece of my mother’s pumpkin pie that I will have an anxiety attack. I had no idea that sugar was such a serious poison to my body. Likewise the additives equaling headaches and allergy attacks.

One thing that I am not certain is an advantage is the ability to smell again. My mother has always complained that my house smells like dog. Now I can barely stand to walk inside my own house. It is awful. I am keeping the windows open whenever possible, burning candles, etc. Probably I need to have the dog’s teeth cleaned, as I am told that bad doggie breath and licking can be really stinky.

At any rate, knowing what I know now about the effects of certain foods on my body, it would really be an act of self-hatred to return to my old habits. Either that, or a love of chocolate cake. Praying for willpower…and the ability to fit into a size eight. BS provides some motivation for that. The nerve, thinking I am a nothing whom she can push to the side of my husband’s life. I should thank her. That is another post.
