Emotional eating
My Hun got me some fishes for my birthday in 2008. These little guys wen through everything with me, and just watching them would make me feel peace inside. I had a favorite one; his name was Bajoue. He'd always come to the front of the tank and would fallow me in front of it, and would "kiss" my finger whenever I'd put it in the tank. He was awesome! For Christmas, I got a bigger fish tank, since my little fishies were not so little anymore! Putting them in the new tank, I noticed that my Bajoue was a little rounder than usual, but it was hard to tell, since he was a little egg-shaped to begin with. But as the days went by, he was getting rounder, and kept on swelling to the point where his little scales were coming out, making him look like a little pine cone. I put him in a separate tank, put some medication in the water to kill his bacteria, put some Epsom salt in the water to help the swelling go away. But nothing would do, and he just kept on swelling. His back had turned a little black, and his cheeks had little strings of red. He had internal damage beyond repair. He was in real bad shape, and I didn't know what to do to help him out. Then 2 days ago, when I woke up in the morning, a little blister had started to appear between his scales, on his side, where there was liquid inside. I was so sad to see him getting worse without being able to do anything! So I read online to know what would be the proper way to euthanize my little Bajoue, without him suffering more stress and distress, so that he could finally go in peace. I read that in veterinary schools, they use clove oil to get the fish to go to sleep when they need to test out on them, and when they go back in normal water, they wake up. I had also read that if you put more than just a few drops, the fish will go to sleep, but would never wake up. So I bought some clove oil, and put a lot of drops in water in a separate bowl. But I just couldn't bring myself to put my fish in the bowl. So my Hun helped me out and put it in the bowl for me. And after 20-30 minutes, that was it..
I never thought I'd cry so much for a fish! But I did, and I went into emotional eating. So I ate all sort of junk food, even without being hungry, for 2 days. So I don't know how much I weigh this morning, but I'll know in a few minutes. So I won't be surprised to see a bigger number on the scale.
