Keeping Track

I'm writing this post for future reference.

This morning, like every morning, I waited too long to eat. Why?

  1. kitchen is disgustingly messy
  2. grandma goes out there whenever anyone else does
  3. not sure what to eat due to lack of organized food areas
  4. can't think straight to even say much more
I can't eat fruit in the morning, it upsets my stomach every time. If you know me, you'll know that I can't have any dairy or red meats, so…limited options are also an issue. I can't have mushrooms either. As much as I love mushrooms and bell peppers, they tear my stomach apart and ruin my whole day. 

As an IBS sufferer, I've tried so many things. I've tried a 2 week vegan diet, it was so expensive that I ran out of food money in the first week. I stay away from dairy, but on occasion, I'll indulge in something containing dairy and not even realize it until the damage is already done. I can't eat nuts because of my stomach issues. So, on a daily basis I can not eat:
  • dairy
  • red meat
  • too much fruit, including some veggies like tomatoes
  • bell peppers
  • mushrooms
  • nuts
  • pre-packaged oatmeal
  • white breads


The things I can eat:
  • eggs/egg whites
  • whole grains
  • homemade oatmeal
  • white meats (limited)
  • rice milk as a dairy substitute 
  • rice
  • veggies (limited)

Bland diet is something that I've had a hard time dealing with for the last 2 years. But, I have noticed that it is worse than ever, now. For a year, I've been more in the dumps than ever in every aspect. Grandma is worse and harder to deal with, my diet is trash, metabolism is shot, weight gain activated. 

shit diet+major stress+little to no physical activity+depression+broken sleep+stomach medicine=15+ lbs of weight gain, acne, brittle hair/hair loss(not super severe, but still an issue), more stomach issues such as constipation/diarrhea/loss of appetite, physical bone deterioration (proven via my teeth), fatigue and even deeper depression. 

I need a life coach. Or I need to become a life coach. Something has got to give, damn it.
