Ground Hog's Day...Is it over yet?!

Aug 09, 2010

I am already falling a little behind with my posts (second day of school for my 6 year old) and needless to say it still feels like ground hog's day to me! :-), so the fact that he had to get off to the bus and our daily routine was different it felt good.  Also, this liquid portion of this process really sucks!, but I am happy to say today is my first day of "cloudy liquids" and I get to start taking my protein and vitamins today!!!...Truly I need the energy, I am tired of walking around like a zomby.  The discomfort that I was experiencing is going away, but when I "walk around the house" I still breathe like I've run a marathon.  I will also say that I kept reading from so many other blogs that "they weren't hungry" or they "didn't want to eat"....I don't think my brain got that message!...My family still needed to eat although I wasn't wasn't eating and to add to the stress, my older son came home from college and he is a human garbage disposal and eats ANYTHING that isn't nailed down (and naturally he doesn't gain an ounce!...can you imagine? ;-)...he plays basketball at college and they actually have him on a weight gain program at school).  They were ordering pizza and Chinese food and the Jamaican food (all of my favorites) and all I could have was sip juice and popcicles ;-(....I think that that is the hardest time for me so far is at meal times, now don't get me wrong the I really only think about food when I see someone else eating it or I can smell it...either way it's hard.  The reality of my food addiction became very clear to me over these past few days...

My birthday was Friday and I kept getting phone calls from my friends and family wanting to know where were we going to eat, or I don't know what to get you since you can't eat anything...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?...I love shoes, clothes, purses...every store in Atlanta has gift certificates! :-), needless to say I it truly was the worst birthday that I can remember!...my husband is really trying to be as supportive as he knows how, but since he doesn't cook, and couldn't tell you how to turn on the stove or even where the pots are, he has been doing his best with subway and other take out places, which in turn makes me feel guilty.  Do any of you have this issue?...what do you cook for you family and do you still crave all the bad stuff?
