Can't Eat

This is day two of "everything edible disgusts me."

Yesterday, I couldn't bring myself to even try to eat until late afternoon.
I made a huge salad. It's a good thing my dogs like salad. Crash had a
package of Snickerdoodles (my favorite cookie). I asked for one, took one
bite, spit it out, and returned the rest of the cookie to its rightful
owner.

This morning, I made a bowl of (3) scrambled eggs and a bunch of crumbled
breakfast pork sausage. Fortunately, my dogs like eggs and sausage, too.

I just made one of the large boxes of sugar-free Jell-O, and am hoping that
the gelatin will go down okay once it's thickened. I'm also planning on
heating up some chicken broth later, and try sipping on that. I'm pretty
sure the dogs would enjoy chicken broth, too, if that doesn't work.

I'm not sure if I'm physically ill, or if this is my long-awaited nervous
breakdown. I've been sleeping a lot.

Diabetes is a weird thing when you're sick. My fasting blood sugar was 211
this morning.

Any ideas? I'm a compulsive overeater. This is just not natural for me.

My opinion, sounds like a stomach thing - virus or maybe a bad egg or
something.

Drink plenty of liquids and wait for your body to want food again.
Maybe your body is trying to say that you are no longer a compulsive
eater. Why not take this opportunity to image a new, more positive
"self fulfilling prophecy" about yourself?

I'm still drinking a lot of water.

If I'm not low-carbing, I am a compulsive overeater. That does go away
when I'm eating properly. Sugar, in particular, is my heroin. I have to
stay away from it at all costs.

It's hard to have a positive self image when all you want to do is go to
the hospital to have your stomach pumped. I'm hanging in there as best I
can, and hope to be cute and perky and stuffing my face with lettuce in a
couple days.

Thanks,

Seems that way to me, too. When I'm depressed, I want to eat more, not
less. I was gonna make some deviled eggs today, but I get woozy just
thinking about it.
