I suggest starting with high-calorie liquids?

In the end we began with .125 mg Vitamin K WOOHOO.

Then, after the hiccoughing had abated, a microwave-baked potato, with about a half-a-cup of butter on it, which took...several hours to finish, in small reluctant bites. Then there was some vanilla kefir. Finally there was a tiny appetite (!) for the first time in 72 hours, which ended happily with some microwaved macaroni-and-cheese.

Basically? I'm eating like your average 8-year-old, I think. My figure sure is svelte and lovely, though. But for tomorrow I bought toaster waffles, to try to start my damn day off RIGHT (more butter). And full-fat milk, which when added to frozen strawberries and vanilla protein powder and agave, makes a fairly damn high-calorie liquid.

And I wasn't using that plural first-person lightly. Ms. Allyson saved my tuchas today, in more ways than one. She drove me to therapy, which makes me tear up just thinking about it; and also she brought me the second Gretchen Lowell novel, ahahahaha! Heh.

I haven't had anything to eat yet today, because apparently stimulants are also appetite suppressants or something? Ahahaha ha ha ha oops.

Aww yeah, smoothies are grand.

We had frozen pizza for dinner. Again. //hangs head

Frozen food! saving the lives of depressed people since 1929.

I had frozen Indian food and refrigerated naan last night! Whole Foods FTW.

I'm choking down some coffee right now as I will have a massive headache if I don't (didn't have coffee yesterday).

Un, your tuchas is precious & when it needs saving I will be there!

Also, B. and I going house-hunting tonight AND I may actually have a lead on a car. Fingers crossed! I remain, as B. says, cautiously pessimistic.

You handle the pessimism, we handle the optimism. Yay!

P.S. Last night I finally got hungry enough to eat a bowl of my mom's mushy-but-still-good attempt at d(h)(a)al (Google search inconclusive?), and that shizz had enough garlic and ginger in it to cure anybody of anything. Wish I could send some of that in the mail.

GOOD. Good. Although it bums me out slightly that you won't be coming to yin tonight. I'm getting D. to come with me for his first yoga class ever and he thinks he's going to make a fool out of himself. :)

I always call it dal, meself. I makes it TASTY too, thanks to the lessons of the Physicist's mum (and a passing acquaintance with Madhur Jaffrey).

Sadly too menstrual still for even yin, I think...D. will have fun! :o) And so will you.

INDEED. I owe my life to Red Baron and Stouffer's (urgh, depressing thought).

It's all about the Amy's for me, I'm afraid. The cheese enchiladas in particular.

OMFG YES. The cheese enchilada meal is my favourite, altho I also really enjoy the beans and cheese burrito. Then I feel guilty because I just paid like a buck-fifty for, what, beans and cheese and a tortilla and spices? But still. Nom.

They are just so almost exactly like the $3.99 lunch special that we'd get in my hometown when I was a kid. Just pure lardy Tex-Mex goodness, with way too much cumin. Everything but the refritos and the iceberg lettuce.

....man, now I'm trying to remember what we got at Capshaw Jr High in Santa Fe and totally failing. ....spaghetti? I remember that awful yellow soft cornbread with peas and corn and shit baked into it. For years I thought that WAS cornbread, despite having an Okie Nana.

UGH must not think about school lunches UGH

OMG NO, not if we want to eat. Um! I am having Earl Grey double bergamot tea and Nutella right now!
