Hi Heidi, I'm so sorry you're having a rotten day! This doggone heat can't be helping either. I hope your nap made you feel better! I can totally relate about these reactions, I get the same way from time to time. Haven't checked to see if it's on any kind of cycle. But your story about breakfast reminded me of a time when I was out of town and had brought some Power Crunch bars to be my protein supplement. I took a first bite, and then my boyfriend said, "That looks good, can I taste it?" I said "Sure" and handed it to him. Well. He proceeded to bite off most of what I'd handed him, and he handed me back basically one last little bite. I reacted with abject horror! "Hey! That was MY PROTEIN! NOW WHAT AM I GOING TO EAT????" Then I had to swallow hard to fight back tears! I felt ridiculous. Freak-out city! I had only brought along exactly enough for each day and he messed with MY FOOD! He felt absolutely awful. I think I did end up crying - I do remember apologizing! I don't know what the answer is, but I wanted to let you know you are not alone! HOpe you are feeling better by the time you read this! Kathy
