Getting sick and head hunger

Oct 16, 2014

Last night I had a slight sore throat.  This morning, I woke up and had a definite sore throat, horrible headache and slightly congested.  Whenever I get sick, I really get sick.  It takes me forever to get completely over upper respiratory stuff. 

As normal, my head hunger kicks in whenever I feel sick.  It used to be a way that I would feel better.  Of course, it was only temporary but old habits die hard.  Feeling sick and head hunger, for me, have gone hand in hand.  I've become pretty good at dealing with emotions and identifying head hunger as head hunger and not act on it.  Being sick and medicating myself with comfort foods is still something that comes up. 

Identifying it is the first step so I don't give in to sugar as the medication.  I decided to blog on my OH blog as another step.  I've made a firm promise to myself that this time around, no matter what, I'll use medication to feel better and get over whatever it is, get rest, drink hot tea and water to truly take care of myself.
