I Hate Being Sick
I’m starting to get really frustrated here. There are certain kinds of sicknesses that you can still workout with. I just happen to have extremely plugged ears. Doing exercise while the room feels like it’s spinning is not only difficult, but just seems a tad dangerous. My appetite has also been kind of wonky. My normally small meals have now been very small meals.
On the upside, I think I’ve finally conquered the compulsive/boredom aspects of my struggle with dieting. I have a better grip on "kind of have the munchies" vs. "I should eat now." And the way I’ve been warding off the munchies feels like a double win. Simply put, I keep myself busy. It keeps me more productive, which is good, since school just started back up. Plus, I have much less "wasted" down time as it’s forced me to allow myself to do fun stuff instead of using stress as an excuse to just stare at the TV. I’ve downed two books in the past two days, for example.
Now if I could just get over this cold.

You will learn to differentiate between "My stomach is empty & greedy" and "My body wants fed to grow". Listen to the latter every time, and find ways to deal with the former.
