Went out for breakfast this morning...

DH and I usually share things when we go out but today we wanted different things.  They brought our food out and I cut the portion of the omlette that I would eat and moved it to the side.  No problem.  But as I was eating I started feeling overwhelming nausea.  Seeing all that food on the table was making me sick.  Seeing the servers walking by with all the food grossed me out.  It's happened before and I was just curious if it's happened to any of you?  I've never heard anyone say anything about it.  It's not a problem or anything, it just shocked me a little that I reacted so strongly.

happens to me alot now.  especially if the food is on the greasy side.  just today..my dh was grilling steaks outside (81 in Cleveland today, gotta grill when that happens!).  When he brought them in, the smell was so overwhelming it made me sick to my stomach.  really weird how and when thing**** you.  Guess its just part of the journey.....                                                   JOAN

Yes..this happens to me too. Just lose my appetite all together.

Smells can really bother me but I blame that on the hormones, lol...

I do get grossed out when I see how much food some other people are eating. I have to really discipline myself because I'm totally in love with my hubby who is one who eats way too much way too fast. It's hard for me to watch. I have found it helps me to sit next to him instead of across from him. Also, it helps if I just give myself a mental slap on the back of the head because 1) there but for the grace of God go I and 2) I was there not too long ago in the grand scheme of things.

I believe a lot of my repulsion from this behavior is because this behavior is a clear reflection of who I was/ secretly am on the inside where no one can tell. I hate that about myself, and recognize it well when I see it in others... So, I take a minute to remind myself that often I am repulsed by what I see in myself reflected there. I know some of it is the hormones from the smells and such, but the rest of it is not and I try to keep it from being more than it is. If that makes any sense??

Huggles!!
