Whoops! Sometimes I’m so dumb, I wonder how I even earned a degree (or two)…
The past month since the accident, I’ve been a non-stop piggy. I gained/lost weight. I retained/lost water. I exercise like a mo-fo so it’s been good… I mean, I coulda gained easily 20 pounds this month. I shoulda, actually.
But, I couldn’t figure out WHY I’ve been eating like a piggy. I’m not usually a stress eater. I usually eat out of boredom. And, believe me! I haven’t been BORED.
Then, it dawned on me after I plowed through a big meal and then had more and more and more food.
My headaches!
Several years ago I had low blood sugar because I was on the pill. When you have low blood sugar, you get headaches and then you eat. I learned to gauge my blood-sugar levels based on my headache levels — my tell-tale sign.
Well… I’ve been eating non-stop because of my headaches. Why didn’t I figure this out sooner? The percocets don’t always help and the toradol doesn’t alway help either. Together today, they aren’t helping. And, I’ve been eating like there is no tomorrow!
Sheesh. How did I earn my degree again?
So, I gotta get this sorted out. I need to convince my brain that the pain is just pain and that it isn’t blood-sugar related and that I don’t need to eat a horse in order to get better! That’s what I’ll be workin’ on the next little while!
And, how are things in your part of the world?
