selenaySo, reading (and remembering) yesterday's stuff is showing me just how screwed up my relationship with food has become over the last few months. Hopefully as treatment works and things normalise properly, I'll be able to relax and enjoy things again. I'm quite happy with preparing my own food, because I know what's in it and how much I'm getting, but apparently I've developed a few issues about eating out.
It doesn't help that people keep telling me about their mates who gained 50lbs on prednisone and have never been able to lose it. I quite like the way I look right now. My weight is low, but stable, and I quite like not seeing a podgy tummy in the mirror. So I really don't want to have the pred make me fat.
That might have been a part of the flail on yesterday's treat meal. I can't wait to be off prednisone so that I can stop worrying about my weight and my appetite. If people would just stop telling me how much their friends gained on it...
My baking yesterday got derailed by the discovery that my little "keep the brown sugar soft" thingy had dried out, so my brown sugar was hard as a rock. I'm currently trying to resurrect the brown sugar in hopes that I'll be able to do something with it later in the week. I decided that maybe I would give up on the baking this weekend and my treat with an evening cup of tea would be a few squares of chocolate from my stash that I never remember to eat.
Today we're having a horrible wind and rain storm and I woke up with a bad headache, so I elected not to go to church. Breakfast, coffee and paracetamol kicked the headache away so I spent some time doing some vigorous Wii Fit stuff, which made me feel much more positive about everything. Those endorphin things are lovely.
I also watched the last three episodes of S5 Doctor Who last night. Not only did it cheer me up, but it reminded me of why the Doctor and co. were called to go to the Orient Express at the end and I am all excited again about my TARDIS Big Bang fic proposal. Surely, it must be Big Bang time soon?
This evening I have ribs in the slow cooker, those smashed potatoes that I posted the recipe for earlier this week and some asparagus planned for supper. Then I shall catch up on Holby City and see whether Monroe continues to be as ridiculously fun as the first episode hinted at.
Six days to go!
