Why do I always eat fast food, knowing how it makes me feel afterwards? My fridge and pantry are looking a little scarce at the moment, but it's pretty stupid for me to go stock up on groceries if I'm just going to be going out of town in a week. I'm also waiting on a PayPal transfer to come through so I really don't have enough in my account right now to stock up anyway. That's why I thought that it would be a good idea to buy lunch today.Big mistake. Huge. The food was good. Don't get me wrong. I spent an extra 40 cents at Zaxby's to get the Nibblerz meal instead of my normal Chicken Finger Sandwich Meal and found that Zaxby's actually toasts the bun on the Nibblerz sandwiches. Since the only other thing in my stomach was a lone strawberry Pop Tart, I pretty much inhaled the tiny sandwiches. Now I'm paying the consequences. My stomach is cramping big time from all the butter in the bread, and I feel just blah. I'm scared my right kidney is going to start up next like it does anytime I eat something that is too salty.
Just blah is how I felt the entire time that I was home for Thanksgiving as well. My family ate a lot of fast food then, too, and I never felt good afterwards. Ditto for the Thanksgiving meal and leftovers. More blah after effects. Plus, my dumb butt of a sister inadvertently made the dressing with fish oil instead of vegetable oil, which would have been fine if it wasn't for the fact that I'm allergic to fish. I spent most of Thanksgiving and Black Friday pondering why I broke out in hives and itched all over after eating turkey and dressing. I was scared to death that I had developed a new food allergy to turkey or bread. Thankfully, my mother figured out the fish oil connection Friday night, and I was able to avoid the itchiness and hives the rest of the week.
I wonder if Fentraphen or some other fat burner would make me feel less blah right now. Probably not. I think that you have to actually take those things when or before you eat for them to make a difference. Plus, I think that they only help with the fat issue, not the blah issue.
I want to avoid the blahs next week. Last Christmas, I was miserable because I had the stomach flu and a 102 fever. Healthwise, I don't want to be miserable this Christmas as well. I guess that means that I'm going to have to pass on the fast food trips and ask for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or an apple instead. Can you just have an apple and some carrot sticks for Christmas dinner? Right now, that's the only thing that sounds good.
