Life

Not Sold On This Idea Either

Back on the food-poisoning weight-loss plan.  Well, the wake-up-feeling-ill-and-dizzy-and-then-throwing-up-repeatedly weight-loss plan, anyway.

I desperately don't want a repeat of last year's events, so a week of apple juice and matzo looms.

Update: Feeling much better now.  Not sure why it happened, and I'm being very cautious in what I eat (which today consists mostly of nothing), but it seems to have come and gone very quickly.

The one thing that scared me was that the main symptoms when I woke up feeling ill were that I was dizzy and photosensitive, and that I felt like I was running a fever.  I was running through all sorts of horrible diseases in my head when I started feeling seriously queasy as well.  Then a few moments later had to bolt for the bathroom, making it with about a second to spare.

And after that all the symptoms cleared up and by morning I was fine.  (But kind of wiped out...  It's not been a fun week.)

Are you desperate to lose weight within a week?

You should try the Velocity diet. It's at least safe.

4 When I got salmonella poisoning last year, I had no idea what it was, and ended up throwing out everything in my fridge that had been opened, and a bunch of stuff from the pantry as well.  And it was just as likely that it was take-away food anyway.

This time I think it had to be the lamb steaks I had last night.  They weren't as well done as I usually cook them, but they weren't exactly rare either, so I'm not sure why it happened.

Anyway, after the purge I seem to be fine.  Just being extra-cautious, because last time I was sick for a week and took another couple of weeks to fully recover.  Not fun.

If you threw in severe head pain, you would have described one of my (fortunately very infrequent) migraines.

There's nothing worse than 'reviewing inputs' while trying to keep your head from exploding...

6 Gah. Sorry I didn't understand. I'm glad you're well.
