Day 8 -close your eyes and don't read this...

Well, I'm almost too embarrassed to actually write what I've eaten today. Let me explain... There's a reason...honest... :-/

I got up this morning, did the usual see the kids off to school, cleaned out the guinea pigs, passed out....oh no, wait a minute, that bit doesn't usually happen. Well, it sometimes does actually, but not on a daily basis. 

I  feeling very odd and realising what was about to happen, I grabbed the wall and delicately slid down it, rather than falling back like a tree who's been chopped down, I've done that before and it hurts!! 

So after I got up, I don't think I fully blacked out, though I don't particularly remember fully what happened, so perhaps I did, but I was sat up, of sorts, can you still be conscious sat up? Anyway, if I did, it would have only been for seconds. I felt a bit woozy, so got up and thought sod it, clambered up the stairs and sat in bed for a while.

I'd already had my breakfast, so it's not like I had an empty tummy, but as I say, it's not the first time and I doubt it'll be the last.

After I felt better I had a shower and got dressed, but my day was all out of synch by then, it felt like first thing in the morning to me and I came down and was pottering around doing stuff, then later realised I was really quite hungry and it was nearly 1, I just wanted to finish doing what I was doing, so carried on...next thing I looked, it was 2.35. Oops. 

So...and here's where I hang my head in shame, I needed a quick fix, which came in the form of a plain bag of crisps and rice cakes....and a cuppa of course.

It's now 4.30pm and I'm contemplating what to cook us for dinner. I'm aware however of a feeling in my tum. Not a pain, not even hurting, just slightly uncomfy. I'm now not sure if this is because I left such a stupid gap between meals, because I ate rubbish or because the rice cakes are covered in 'apple flavouring'. The dietician is aware of this as I queried it, but it's one of the very last ingredients and just says apple flavouring, so it could be apples, or it could be some other sort of flavouring, so he said to give it a go. Today was probably a bad time to try them in hindsight. 

So my appalling diet today is...

Breakfast:
Porridge l/f milk, redbudsh tea.

Mid morning:
Nothing

Lunch:
Nothing...again :-/

Mid afternoon: 
Plain crisps and apple flavoured rice cakes.
Redbudsh tea.

It has to be said that this is not a completely strange day for me, until I've started doing this plan and blogging it, my eating habits were very hit n miss. I was very hit and miss if I ate or not as after a while, as I'm sure anyone else with ibs would agree, after a while you get fed up of eating and feeling awful, so I just didn't really bother. -pathetic, I know, but this is why I'm keeping the blog, to almost force me into eating properly.

...I'm now heading off to rustle up dinner...whilst still hanging my head in shame :-(

Dinner:
New potatoes, lettuce, carrot sticks, sardine in tomato sauce (a tiny bit of sardine, as I decided it was minging!)  cucumber.
Lactose free strawberry yogurt.
Redbudsh tea.

Evening:
g/f chocolate wafer
Redbudsh tea x2
