So last night I gave in and then thoroughly wished I hadn't. Went to the Thai place and in an effort to be healthy ordered a spicy roast duck salad. Visually it was lovely, but there were some seriously funky ingredients... The duck was coated in a thin light batter, most likely cornflour, and although there was a chilli lime dressing the salad leaves tasted distinctly of Tom yum. My food waste monster kicked in and wouldn't let me leave it, so I forced myself to have it and then felt really sick, and feared throwing up in the car.
Managed to keep it down and went home and had a hot lemon water to help flush it down.
This morning I had another hot lemon water and a banana shake made with extra water and a tablespoon of psyllium husk that had been through the spice grinder.
No bowel movements.
Had nothing again until the restaurant, where I managed to have 3 olives, 60% of my starter and 60% of my main, plus three skinny sweet potato fries. I was so full I wanted to fall asleep. Ate nothing else, just drove to mum's to have another hot lemon water, at which point things finally started moving again a little bit.
Serious death wind is back.
Tomorrow is Eid but three off plan days in A row means I won't allow myself to indulge in my family's celebrations. Got a cherries and berries shake ready for the AM with my psyllium husk here at my mum's, also got the juice of half a lemon in the fridge for the morning's hot Lemon water.
One positive thing... Last Christmas I found a lovely AX Paris dress in Tescos clearance for £15. A size 12, which I thought i could squeeze into at the time. Oh how wrong I was! The bloody thing wouldn't even zip up halfway and it got thrown into the back of my closet...
Today the dress fit like a glove, and I wore it to dinner and was even able to accessorize with a waist belt! I wish I had taken pictures! Now time to get back to 100% until next Saturday, my next planned real food meal.
