Despite a raging migraine I managed to eat yesterday! Today my headache is gone and I've eaten breakfast so far.

Yesterday I had a bacon chicken ranch calzone. Today I have had steamed milk.

I'm hoping for more food. I'll comment back later if I get more.

for my "6 fruits/veggies a day" goal:

breakfast: potato soup (1)

snack: potato chips

lunch: rice and bacon stir fry with carrots (2), parsnips (3), green beans (4), red bell peppers (5), and pineapple (6)

I suspect dinner will be leftovers of lunch, unless I can work up enough sense of experimentation to try cooking squash tonight.

I decided that I need more healthy fat in my diet, since I'm a little oldish and eventually the choices are "heavier body, fuller younger-looking face" or "skinnier body, scrawny older-looking face". I like to stay right in the middle, which never really happens, but I like to try to improve my health and diet when I figure it out--recently it was "eat more protein", which worked okay, and now it's "and also eat more healthy fats". I get unrealistic expectations of my own weight and looks and all, like everyone, and I try not to get unhealthy about them--

So despite being horribly busy, not wanting to eat, and generally having some nasty OCD and EDNOS flare-ups (Did you know that one hour is apparently not enough time to eat breakfast? Apparently it's not!)...

I gained a pound since last month. A pound of fat apparently.

I'm probably one of the only people in the world who can afford to be HAPPY about that. RELIEVED, even. I'm apparently FINALLY giving my body enough calories that it's saving some of them instead of just devouring them all.

Hopefully I can keep this up.
