Y'all, I'm having a really hard time right now. Cora woke up a bunch night before last, so even though I went to bed early, I didn't feel rested. She slept better last night, but I had a fever and stuffy head most of the night and couldn't sleep. And my fuse is un-Godly short. And I feel entitled to eat whatever I want. I'm fighting, but I feel weak. Plus, with Isaac gone, instead of feeling relaxed with the fact that part of my burden is lifted, I feel panicked to get everything done TODAY. Taxes, organizing clothing (winter to spring), updating website, an urgent sewing project. It's just not a good space to be in. And I'm behind on my blog. Here's what I can remember of the past couple of days. It is not all-inclusive.
Anyway, thanks for the cheering comments. I am "devouring" them more than anything today.
4-9-11
Breakfast: 1 egg and ?
Lunch: one slice homemade pizza, small salad
Dinner: big dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Went to bed early (7:30?) to escape the 'fridge' because I just wanted to eat more when we got home. Dumb.

4/11/11
Breakfast: plain yogurt with nuts, raisins, apple, ginger and 1 fried egg
Snack: homemade blackberry pancake
Lunch: tostada w/ lentil-veggie topping. Walnuts and raisins. I did not need the walnuts and raisins. I have stopped. I have also not gone to the cabinet to stick my hand in the cracker or cereal box like I very much want to. Snack in 3 hours...
Snack: handful of crackers and peanuts, a couple of bites of apple
Dinner: last of the turkey meatballs with veggies and rice, mashed potatoes
Sorry to hear you're feeling discouraged and weak today. I really admire how hard you're working on this. I wonder if there are any "Made to Crave" support groups online where you could find some additional strength. Anyway, you can be proud of yourself because I am unrepentantly drinking a Dr. P while typing this. At least you're not as bad as ME!
