Listen to what your body tells you!

Sep 10, 2010

Just today I was at the mall buying some perfume.  When I was done, I thought I'd head down to the Apple computer store and check out the new I-pads.  It was maybe 10 yards away.  It seemed every step I took, the Apple store got farther away!  I finally got there and sat down.  I was there maybe 10 minutes.  I checked my watch and noticed I was going to have to rush to get to Jenivee's by noon to drop off the perfume.  I took about a dozen steps and my body screamed at me YOU HAVE TO EAT SOMETHING NOW!  Good Lord, I was in the mall...the one with the foodcourt that doesn't exactly offer a Friday special for new bariatric patients...so in my semi confused state, I went to Dairy Queen and managed to order a small dish of softserve icecream.  I slowly ate what seemed to be about 3 oz..  I gave it a few minutes...and the fog cleared and I was able to walk out to my car and drive without the fear that I might faint!  It was a lesson learned, let me tell you.  I have felt pretty good the rest of the day.  I had a shake at 10am and my "spell" happened about 1145.  I don't know why I almost crashed.  But I do know the feeling now!
