sorry about that

yesterday, i posted an ill-advised timeline of a horrible stomach flu/food poisoning i had on sunday. to anyone who read that: i'm sorry. my only excuse for doing that was that i was still too out of it yesterday to think clearly and thus avoid writing a grotesque minute-by-minute recollection of what i ate and what didn't stick around. yuck.

two days later, i have to say that i am feeling better but i am still shaky, tired and out of sorts. i weighed in this morning more than a pound lighter than i was a week ago, after a day and a half on binging on anything i felt like eating, including a ham and cheese sandwich, bagels, deluxe mac and cheese and godiva chocolate.

i will never forget the sight of my emaciated stomach on sunday, the way you can look only when you have had all nutrients and liquids removed from your body. i have always dreamed of being that skinny, but when i finally got there (for all the wrong reasons) all i could think of was how nice it would be to have a glass of water.

i'm back to work today, and on the mend. although i think i'll avoid the gym for a few days, it seems as though i've reached my weight goal in the past few days. in fact i've dropped a pound below it. so i deserve a reward and some recovery time.
