First week home

Jul 09, 2010

Well, I must say rather than coming to my house, I stayed with my mom and dad to be pampered and spoiled. When I got home and went to bed, the first thing my dad said to me was he had to get me something  to eat. (Hilarious, since I could not eat anything really). Keep in mind, this was the 4th of July weekend, and everyone is cooking out. My dad came back to the house with me two plates, loaded with barbeque chicken, freshly fried catfish, baked beans, potato salad, a hamburger, and two diet sodas to top it all off.  And believe me yall, the food looked and smelled so good. I was like, Dad, I can't have any of that. (Bless his heart, because he meant well.) But never fear, my family took care of the food for me, while I watched, craving just a bite. Then on Sunday, they cooked out at my mom's and grandmother's, so can you say I had to sit around and watch them gulp down macaroni, chicken, sausages, greens, okra, corn, ribs, baked beans, cake, apple pie, ice cream, etc. It was so unfair, but I made the choice, and I don't regret a minute of it. However, this has started a major problem with head hunger. I am craving food so badly, and not the grits, jello and liquid I am allowed to eat. I want some MEAT.  Because I can't have what I want, I am hardly eating anything. If I have to try to choke down another egg, in any form (which happens to be one of my favorite foods), I think I will throw up!! Therefore, sometimes I experience a little weakness and fatigue. My sister thinks I am faking, but I know it takes a lot of calories to operate this body.  But I will try to do better. However, I am counting down the days until I can at least eat a vienna sausage or some potted meat. One more week to go. I feel like that will be the best meal I have ever had.  Yall, pray for me that I can find something to eat for another week, or two when I can add lean chicken, fish or shrimp.
