So, this weekend was HARD. We had a party to go to, and just being home with my husband and daughter made me want to eat what they were. I did pretty well, though. Actually, I would have done exceedingly well, but for one thing: Low Blood Sugar (DUN DUN DUNNNNN!)
It hit me on Saturday and suddenly I was a tidal wave of nastiness. I couldn't understand why every single, solitary thing everyone did made me crazy with impatience and anger. I snapped at my mom on the phone for no reason and she asked me if my blood sugar was low. I thought about it, and responded that it could be. I am hypoglycemic, but with a high fat high sugar diet, never bothered by it. These drastic changes in my diet have got it acting up, though. I had an orange, and at the party I ate some green beans and a salad. I felt much better and my mood improved, as well. I think at least one piece of fruit/day may be necessary, even though it is not strictly "on diet". Without it, I am shaky, have a pounding headache, and quite nasty to be around.
In other news, I've noticed that directly after drinking my shakes (I have tried two different kinds now) I feel slightly nauseous. I guess that's good in that I am definitely NOT hungry, but bad in that I don't feel as well as I'd like to feel. In any case, I am on Day 5 and counting. It isn't easy, but it isn't impossible, either.
Love,
Amy
