so lately, i've been thinking about my health situation. well it's not really a health situation, but something i recently decided that i should look into.
i generally have high metabolism so food/sugars pass through pretty quickly. i eat dinner, then thirty minutes later, i'm hungry again.
but, if i eat too big of a meal, i get the "food coma" as i call it... i.e. really sleepy and sometimes completely dysfunctional. if i eat too little, i also become very sleepy and lighteaded. i overall try to eat lots of small meals to even the sugar intake out, but that's hard to do when you're always sitting down with the family to eat. it looks bad when you eat less at dinner and then ask for food later.
i have to eat breakfast before we all go to church (i wake up especially early so that i can get something in before that last hour... i just feel bad eating without them, even though they say they don't mind) and when i don't, i practically fall over in the pews. then i get carsick because my head is all over the place. and when we finally eat brunch, i pass out afterwards because i ate to much in an attempt to "catch up."
it's a sugar rollercoaster. i still remember back in the day at BU when I would literally PASS OUT because i forgot to bring snacks to class. (remember that? they still remember me as "the girl who passed out twice" in the art history dept) if jason and i go out to eat, he has to drag me around to "walk it off" so that i don't fall asleep from the food coma. when we play video games--dance dance revolution--i totally need a constant boost of OJ or something before i wear myself out. more exercise also means more sugar.
jason calls me "sleepy head" and he can tell just be looking at my eyes if it's time for a sugar boost. i dunno, diabetes and such runs in the family. just sort of concerned. don't want people concerned that i'll have trouble producing "the goods" after we get married. besides, with my notorious cramps and nausea from my period, i can probably pop those suckers out in no time.
