i felt really sick pretty much all day today. i guess i have some sort of 24 flu thing 'cause i feel better than yesterday, but my stomach is still churning around all weird. i'm pretty sure i have nothing at all left in my system after last night and i really need to eat.
i NEED to eat, but i don't want to. sometimes food is like medicine. my definition of medicine is stuff you have to take for health that you would ingest for no other reason. even when i'm feeling well, there are certain foods that have become medicine-y in my mind.
an ongoing list:
oatmeal = medicine
tea = medicine
water = medicine
baby carrots = medicine
raw vegetables (broccoli) = medicine
bland rice = medicine
i didn't have any of those things today, although i'm sure i desperately need water. flu takes dehydration to a whole new level. finally, we ordered food. it was stay-at-home-veg-try-to-feel-better-completely-unhealthy type food.
1 mcdonald's cheese burger - 300
mcdonald's mcflurry - 700
holy shit. i just looked this up. i CANNOT believe this thing has 700 CALORIES!! what the hell? the soft serve is relatively low-cal... it must be all the m&ms! bummer!!! i need to go back to my old favorite, the vanilla shake. although that's still 500+ calories, it's still a hell of a lot better! this realization kinda ruined my day. (as if feeling sick made it great to begin with)
diet coke - 0
about 10 pieces of pizza hut's big dipper with marinara - 1400
sick. this is 2 sickeningly high calorie mcflurries throw into one! omg. also, TOTALLY misrepresented in the commercial that prompted us to buy it. it was dry and luke warm with hardly any cheese on it. the whole reason i don't like pizza hut crust - way too buttery and flaky instead of chewy - is the same reason why it's so bad for you. NOT a win-win. i do, however, LOVE pizza hut's marinara for some reason.
1 90 minute IPA - 200?
i totally didn't feel good, but had beer anyway. it actually settled my stomach a little, weirdly enough.
oh, and something wierd i've noticed, in myself and others, is that people with food issues start to claim they like stuff that no one actually likes.
"omg, i LOVE plain yogurt. you don't like it? that's so strange! it's great!"
or
"my FAVORITE way to eat bananas is green. green bananas are the only kind i can stand. they're not all sweet and squishy and gross like those yellow ones."
or my favorite, and the one i'm most often guilty of,
"oh, no, actually, i LOVE diet pop. that other stuff tastes so SYRUP-Y. ew. i don't drink diet because of the no-calorie thing. i think it tastes the BEST."
who are we really fooling?
1 mad hatter IPA - 200?
2800 total-ish... man, if i hadn't eaten junk all day, i would have LOST weight being sick. :(
