Those Pesky Food Demons

Well, today has been especially hard concerning food. The demons are off their break and are out in full force. I have been easily agitated and grumpy. Really today is the day I should lock myself in my room and not come out.
Now don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to eat just anything. I would love to eat something healthy. I just want to have some solid food. A scrambled egg, some ground turkey, anything on my soft foods menu starting in February. Some grilled chicken and veggies would be nice too. Although when I pass the bad places (i.e. McDonalds, Jack -n- the Box) I want to turn in but I don’t want to eat what they have. I don’t know it is really quite disturbing. So I went to the grocery store to stock up on some things for work. I got some sugar free hot chocolate, 1% milk, cream soups and grits. These things are on my list so I won’t be stuck with just some double milk all night long. I just had one ounce of SF chocolate pudding and the demon seems to be subsiding now.

Three more weeks to go until I can start eating soft foods. I look forward to those days. I know Dr. Naaman has us on liquids for 6 weeks for a reason. The longer I am on them the more I think it is because of the food demons. Maybe by the end of this I will have adjusted to the new way of eating (5 or 6 small meals a day) and I will transition back to food with grace. I trust the Dr knows what he is doing so I will continue my liquid diet and fight the demons one at a time.
