Flu Feeding Frenzy

Hey Ladies,

I'm still Typhoid Mary, I finally went to the doctor today and was diagnosed with the flu.  So exciting, because there is nothing that can be done with the flu.  I never get an illness that can be cured with medicine, I am the queen of viruses.

So, one thing I've been paying attention to while wallowing in illness and misery (I am a total dramatic baby when I'm sick btw) is that all I want to do is EAT.  Why can't I be the person who comes back from an illness and be down 5lbs?!  Because I am a fat girl, who eats out of boredom and feeling sad.  I know that I feed myself to make myself feel better...This is not the recommended thing to do for the flu.  Mind you, I don't have an appetite per say, just wanna eat.  I'm trying to be reasonable, and I am consciously eating, so that is a plus at least.  I am also tracking all of it, no matter how ugly it gets. 
The worst part is that I can't work out, I get dizzy standing up for lords sake, but exercise really is my anti-depressant/anti-anxiety.  I did manage to stretch last night, and I'm going to give a whirl again tonight.

On the bright side, I've been researching culinary schools to go to, this is my dream when my financial life is a bit more stable....

That's it for me today, I've missed blogging with you ladies.  I hope I feel up to again tomorrow.  I have been reading all of yours, and it's SO great to have all of your company :)
Loves to you all!!!
xoxo Gallant
