Late-night narcotic food musings...
I've had the worst really sick flu crap going on... I've been sleeping a lot and really not eating much at all since nothing I did dein to eat wanted to stay down. I think I went 48 hours without eating anything at one point. Living on "cigs and caffeine". Later in the week I concentrated on protein since I wanted to make the most of the little that I did manage to make myself eat...lots of eggs; lots of carbs (not white bread lots) with whole wheat toast and pasta (Mac N' Cheese)...in short, comfort food. I was only able to eat in small doses, though, or I would begin feeling sick. My appetite is finally coming back, though, and I anticipate next week being a gain week. What the hell, though, after losing 7+ pounds in the last two weeks, I can afford it. The key to my splurging is to make it FOOD and not sweets. I really find myself craving carbs right this second! I want potatoes and pasta and even (gasp!!!) a peanut butter sandwich on good old fashioned white (not wheat) Wonder bread. Too lazy to get up and cook right now, so I'll save it all up for breakfast tomorrow. MIL in town and going out to breakfast. I'm drooling as I sit here contemplating what I'm going to order: Definitely eggs and bacon, toast, (yummy, yummy Texas Toast...[i]drooling on myself[/i]) and really crappy coffee, or maybe just some sugar-laden Pepsi, which we all know is MUCH more likely. The question is what else do I want to eat...do I want steak with my eggs (mmmm....meat) or do I want some chocolate chip pancakes to share with Jacob? (mmmm...chocolate); certainly not both. Or do I want, and this is going to sound really strange, cheese sticks as an appetizer and skip the steak or pancakes....ahhh, choices, choices, choices...
