Day 9

This is my second to last day of this project, and my stomach is almost completely. Interestingly, the combination of not being able to eat very much and having to record my food, my portion sizes shrunk significantly. I realized that I've been eating WAY too much. Also, my efforts to decrease my sodium and sugar intake has been futile. In another interesting twist, I was over my limit for fat as well, which was somewhat demoralizing. If you want, it's worth looking at the increase in the quantity of food I ate as my stomach got better. This is a link that has my whole 10 day stream of food logs, and this is my Day 9 food log.

I recently went to my pediatrician, who told me that I have a nervous stomach as a result of stress. This is a link to an article giving the general details. 

What I've found is that my stomach ache began as I was being assigned a lot of long term projects in various classes, with many of the due dates being the same, including this project. I think that is what made me sick, which sucks, but was also something that is good to know.
