Been five days since my last post. While I've been reading my friends list, I haven't felt like posting. Lots of points in semi-random order ( Read more... )

Switch up your mindset by saying "I don't eat [insert junky foods]." instead of "I can't/shouldn't eat [insert junky foods]." It's going to be fucking ridiculous, but it's one of those brain tricks that will eventually trick you into thinking it's the truth, and that'll help make things easier in the long run, and much like telling people you're allergic, it will deter people from offering temptations again.

My period is a monster. The stress will keep it from arriving in a timely fashion until the event of stress is upon us, and then my uterus is all "oh, we survived to this day after all," and then let loose. Then it will be early next time, and require many sacrifices of every delight that ruins my diet. EVERY delightful junkfood. Fuck you, uterus.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Thanks!

Yes! Exactly that! I swear, body, you're frustrating sometimes.

I don't think you will have to cut out all your favorite foods forever. That sounds rather unhealthy and unrealistic. Shouldn't you be able to get back to some of it, in small portions, after the recovery period?

Some of it. I keep telling myself that I'll (probably) be able to have pizza again one day. Things like bread, potato, likely beef/red meats, maybe dairy, anything at all sweet, fried things, popcorn, and pasta will be out forever (will make me sick or be dangerous if I have it). I'm probably forgetting some things from that list. There could be foods that I'll personally react badly to. Chances are good I'll become lactose intolerant afterwards (but at least there's a pill for that). It's kind of depressing.
