I was very proud of myself for remembering to ask my Dr. about putting my pills on a schedule that revolved around two meals instead of three. This was going to make my life so much easier!
I’m really bad about eating. I rarely feel hungry and it is often 11:30am or even 1:00pm before I decide I had better eat. I typically have lunch, dinner and sometimes an evening snack. I still eat plenty and I’m even starting to put on weight again (a good thing in my case).
The doctor’s response was not what I had hoped for.
“Ashley, you can not skip breakfast.”
That wasn’t all…
“You need to eat something protein based every two hours.”
Holy Crap! I’m going to need a personal assistant to make sure I eat all those times!!!
My not being hungry is apparently a mini-malfunction with my system. My brain isn’t getting the message that I need to eat. This makes a lot of sense when I think about it. It is usually symptoms not hunger pains that tell me I need to put food in my belly.
The prospect of eating something every two hours is daunting. What am I going to eat? I can hardly figure that out now and I’m only eating twice a day! First breakfast and second breakfast don’t sound very appealing when you are use to skipping breakfast all together.
I wonder if my Chlorella counts? It says right on the bottle; Chlorella is a natural food. Serve for snacks, dissolve in water for drinks.
Can you imagine your friends reaction if instead of a bowl of nuts or M&Ms you put out a little dish of Chlorella! I don’t even want to think about the reaction to their insides, which presumably are not accustom to the likes of Chlorella.
I have a feeling Chlorella isn’t going to fly with my doctor either. I am going to have to adapt to yet another challenge. I know that it is for the better, even if right now it just seems like a major pain in the @ss.
