Liquids!!!!

I barfed enough with this stomach virus (cause I kept thinking I was done, would eat and then whoops, not quite....) so I'm taking the next three days off solids and onto liquids.  Today hasn't been so hard because I know I'm still swollen, but when the swelling goes down, the urge to "try just a little creeps in".

I'm just trying to roll the whole experience into Lent and think about food, people who don't have enough to eat, etc. and be grateful for what I have. 

I'm so sorry you haven't been feeling well.  There is a lot of this stuff going around right now.  We did miss you last night but totally understand and are glad you didn't want to "share" the wealth!!!  You are right that we think way too much about food and should be thinking about so many who won't eat tonight and go to bed hungry.  So many more and more every day are loosing jobs and life is really tough out there for them.  We all need to be so grateful for what we have for we are truely blessed!!

Feel better soon Debra!!

Deb, you are such a sweetie.  I already feel better-deciding to stay on liquids and quit "testing the waters" is probably the smartest thing I've done all day.  Why would I want to piddle around mess up what is probably perfect restriction just because I'm in a hurry to eat-that just doesn't make sense.

Food is going to be one of those things that I am just going to have to work doubly hard on to keep in perspective. 

I hope you are feeling better soon!  Sorry to hear you are under the weather!  My DH had it last week.  I slept in another bedroom because I didn't want it.  Everytime I got around him I had bleach or lysol in my hand!  Yucky stuff!
Get better!

Deb.

Sorry to hea rthat you have been under the weather and that the liquids helps everything settle down I know when I had the tummy stuff in December that it helped me get to where I could keep things down better. Get to feeling better soon.

I'm sorry you are feeling puny but more sorry that you had to miss the dinner last night.  It was fun!  It works so much better with a private room so we can hear each other.

Hit those liquids and take it easy!

What she said!

Thanks guys!  One more day, and I know my little pouchie and band are probably very grateful for the rest.  I may end up waiting an extra day if the cold front tightens things down.
