Well I have to tell you, I'm pretty much failing at everything these days. Not only have I not been writing, I haven't been eating! Sad to say though, I haven't been losing weight either. The first few days of reintroducing started off pretty well. And by well I mean I remembered to introduce things. But not so well in the fact that the first thing I introduced, dairy, came back positive on the sensitivity test. Oh the joy.
So now I am a gluten free, dairy free, crazy person. I am pretty sure my friends hate me. Not ten minutes after I introduced dairy (I had a delicious smoothie) my head started to fuzz up. That's the only way to explain it, I felt fuzzy. I could not concentrate. I was in a daze. Basically, I was high, high off milk. And it's not just the lactose I am sensitive to, I can't have yogurt either, believe me I've tried it all.
So that was a good start. But then I tried brewer's yeast. And I think that's ok? I wasn't so intune with my reactions after that. And I'm the crazy college student who can never drink just a little, so who knows. I'm just pretending it's ok, because I really love wine.
Potatoes seemed to be ok at first, but I tried them again and got that fuzzy feeling in my head. And I was exhausted. So I'm holding off a little and trying them again later.
I decided to introduce tomatoes when I "accidentally" ate hot wings one night. The accidental part was I'm an idiot and didn't think about what the sauce was made of. So the next day, while babysitting, the little girl offered me a handful of freshly picked cherry tomatoes and I just had to pop them in my mouth. They were delicious and I was perfectly fine.
The introduction of tomatoes allowed me to try eggs. I had attempted to try them a couple of times earlier in the week, and burnt them TWICE! It's like I have a complete mind block when it comes to eggs. It must be because I hate them so much. So when I knew I could smother them in ketchup, they cooked just fine, and everything turned out ok! And now I can bake again (I will not be having them on their own any time soon...)!
And then I kind of hit a road block. I ran out of money, and couldn't return to the store to buy new food. I stopped eating at home, and started scavenging for food on campus (hence, why I haven't been eating much). But I get paid tomorrow, so I'll be off to the store to pick up mushrooms and peppers and zucchini and such, and the adventure will continue.
Until then, I'm a little bit hungry...
