The Nausea is tapering off (but still rears its ugly head after dinner) but The Hunger is now alive and well. Before you came, feeling hungry was just a passing feeling. Usually starts with an appetite, then a hollow feeling in my stomach - which is usually mentally supressed because it's still 11am and I have 4 more patients till lunch - then hunger breath sets in until I get a meal and all is right with the world. Now .... oh boy, talk about 0 to 90 is 3.5 seconds. I go from pleasant and calm to raging hungry Hulk and nothing will calm me down until I have something in my stomach. The Hunger is so bad I cannot do anything to distract myself from it - even candies and gum doesn't work to calm it down. And usually it wants something salty and chewy. I have never been a fast food junky (post college) but lately I've found myself frequenting Burger King, Del Taco (thank God I'm on the west coast now), and McD's. I know they're bad, but so far this new turn of events has been so unexpected I don't know how to go about it other than pigging out at the nearest cholesterol factory. Bringing nuts and fruit doesn't work because nothing will take the place of comforting and filling Burger King fries with ranch. By the way, I will have to stop eating those chicken nuggets you love - I was told they're toxic.
Luckily, I'm still working out. Today we did an hour of circuit training with coworkers. We were sweating bullets but we did it. Looks like we still got the legs and guns. : ) Man, I smell horrible. Is this your hormonal doing also?
