104 days to go
Down 1.2 lbs
Actually thought I'd be up as I had steroid injection yesterday and sat on the sofa for the afternoon and evening.
Been awake with nausea and headache since 1am

My daughter gave me a doughnut last nite, but I only managed 2 bites, it just tasted really sweet and full of chemicals! Wow- tastebuds Change 👍👍
Ditto with the cheerios I had early this morning when I took painkillers.. didn't enjoy them at all and I've always loved them!
Blinding headache today ( normally lasts for 1-3 days if I don't take oral prednisolone). But don't want to take more steroids.
So gonna chill and take it easy today.
Eat regularly as im not well enough to fast and get back on plan tomorrow 😁
Have a happy and successful Friday fs friends 😊

Major win... when iwas waiting for my older daughter in her Japanese lesson, took my younger daughter to Starbucks. She had a mocha frappe, but chose fruit salad pot instead of cake. I just had tea and AVOIDED CAKES, PASTRIES AND CROISSANTS 🥐🍰🍪. All that training myself to avoid my work kitchen is paying dividends 🎉🎉😊😊

well done. have you tried a magnesium supplement? I used to get headaches almost every week and migraines atleast once a month. since I started taking extra magnesium I hardly ever have migraines and headaches anymore

Good plan to rest up for a day or two. Well done on avoiding the sweet stuff and it's great that your tastebuds seem to be adapting

Thanks everyone Aravis88.. yesterday I had steroids injected into my occipital nerve by the neurologist , which drastically reduces migraines, by about 90% for up to 6 months. However, normally patients take oral steroids for a few days to prevent the post treatment headache. Aswell as making me ravenous and carb craving, they increase my risk of cellulitis, so I try to just put up with the headache! I'll get OH to get me some magnesium and give it a go! Thank u 😁👍

Poppy, magnesium citrate is what you want in a 400 mg / day dose, love. The citrate form absorbs better. You can find it in a liquid suspension or capsules. Good luck. On a side effect note: It will help with breaking up large bowel movements as well! LOL 😂

Isn't it great how junk you used to love tastes like crap now? I used to love Twinkies. Now they just taste like chemicals. Hope you feel better! :-)
