Crashed Today

I’m away at school for the week and students have three square meals per day provided by the local eatery. The food has something in it that kicks my butt. Also, not being able to eat for hours at a time and then dropping a big breakfast, lunch, or dinner is not my style. I’m an eat-a-little-all-day kind of guy and might be hypoglycemic.

For the first time in a long time, I crashed and napped for two hours this afternoon. It’s not hard to tell when food is effecting me after having been sugar-free for so long. I felt irritable, groggy, distant and got a headache in the back of my head. That was before I ate. After eating I couldn’t focus and grew tired and lay down. Two hours later I was up and it was time for dinner.

I want to get off the roller coaster. I’m going to try eating nothing but whole foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. That means only fruit and veggies that haven’t been cooked in whatever it is they use.

Sorry eatery chef, I know you’re just doing your job. But it’s killing me!

I have fallen off of the no sugar wagon and into a 4 gallon pail of sherbet. I am eating a little every day, and feeling the effects as well. It is funny how I explain away the exhaustion and need to nap, and inability to think. It’s the lack of sleep, or it’s the stress! Only when I am off sugar do I realize that it was the sugar that caused all of that. Thank you for the wake up call!

Hi Traci, how’s it going? Are you still eating the stuff?
