I have had a stomach virus (I hope) since Easter....I have eaten only a bowl of Cheerios. Good for the weight loss, bad for everything else. I think I have a soy allergy which is causing the wee hour migraines and totally sleepless nights. If you know me at all, you know that I will find the good in any situation so here goes. (1) I do not throw up if there's nothing in my stomach, and (2) I am learning (or relearning) to be mindful of what I put in my mouth. This is probably a really good life exercise - ex: "how will this make me feel?" If it's not good, then I don't eat it. (3) This recent illness brings my weight loss to 10 lbs. And I will not be celebrating with any chocolate cupcakes, but rather the knowledge that I will be healthier and maybe living longer for my son and someday feeling well!
