Also, my scales have gone batshit cray. They started doing it last night, first reading 146.8 (as you can imagine, I was horrified), second reading 143.8 (more likely after the hoummous bagel and cucumber salad I ate at Tina's), third reading 145.0 (just god-awful) and so on. Up and down like a freak carousel. So I said to myself, if they're still acting weird in the morning, I'll throw them out. This morning after waking up ill I went to see what they had in store for me and it was the same ricocheting between numbers, and not just the normal fluctuations you sometimes get when you have to step on them twice to make sure, but up and down a 6 lb range that quite frankly, scared the sh*t out of me.
I don't know whether to force myself to go out and buy new ones today out of sheer eating disordered desperation, or wait until I'm better, and have had a few 'sick days' (ie. not eating much beyond soup and frozen berries) so that a nice number shows up. I'm tempted to go with the latter.
I'm still sticking to my plan. 600 for the next few days, and that will consist of soup, fruit, frozen fruit, lots of ice water, maybe some baby fruit pots if I can afford to go out and get some at any point (easy on the throat and low-cal), and anything else that is soft but NOT dairy. Dairy just makes it sooo much worse. And no freaking toast.
*Flashback to hospital where they made me eat un-buttered toast in the mornings*
Shudders.
'Hi, I'm Keira, I can't act for toffee, but doesn't my pretty face just make you weep'
Someone said I looked like her the other day and it disturbed me thoroughly. Mostly because I'm torn between whether or not I should be happy about the fact that I share features with one of the most highly-paid and apparently attractive actresses of our day, or pissed about the fact that I resemble someone whose jaw is in the way when they look down to tie their shoelaces.
Hmm tonsillitis is not good but if you have any corsodyll I would recommend gargling with it morning and night, to keep the infection (if there is one at all from spreading to your gums etc..)
ReplyDeleteI had tonsillitis like 4 times in the space of 3 months and the 4th time I couldnt even face going to the doctors again and getting more awful anti biotics which dont even work.. Anti-biotics only reduce it by 2 days in my case not worth it..
So yeh, you seem to be doing the right thing, no dairy it makes everything worse.. Hopefully you will be better soon! <3
Oh I have mixed feelings about Kiera too.. I dont know she seems so statuesque I can never decide whether I find her beautiful or not.. that pic of however is by far the most flattering of her I have seen..
Lots of love xx
lovely blog, followed.

I don't know, I've always thought of Keira as completely gorgeous. So that was probably a big huge compliment from that person who said you resemble her. Or, at least, it would've been had it come from me.
ReplyDeleteWaiting until you've convalesced to buy new scales is a better idea. Gives your brain some time to rest, too. But I don't like hearing that you're sick!! :( I hope you feel better quickly, so that you're perfectly healthy for your trip. (And hey - at least you're not nauseous/getting sick all the time, like yours truly. It means everything is progressing as it should, but that part's not particularly fun.) Good luck!!!
Love you,
<3.
I couldnt deal with scales hense me driving to my parents house and kidnapping there's. they have now got the evil one's which tell you your body fat%.
ReplyDeleteAre your scales on a solid ground? As my scales go ape shit if i use them on carpet. I could be as light as a feather one moment and a whale the next. So it was straight to the wooden floor. (im just happy my bedroom is laminate floor. Only bedroom in my house with it!
Speak soon by email no doubt :)

Xxxxxxxx
I hope you feel better soon. I hope it is not something more serious as well.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me started on that scale, oh god. I think I would have been ready to beat the shit out of mine but then I wouldn't because I still need the darn thing.
I find it pretty awesome you got compared to Keira. Usually when I tell someone they look like a celeb I tell them which parts makes them look like the celeb. No one person is exactly alike in my books. Even identical twins to me can be different.
Like I knew this girl who looked like Whitney Houston. It was her eyes, nose, face and skin tone that made her look so much like Whitney. But she sported the famous Halley Berry pixie haircut instead.
Hope you feel better soon girlie.
I like Keira! I think she's pretty, but I understand why you wouldn't like her. To each their own I guess.
ReplyDeleteMy scale used to do that too! So I'd have to rely on my grandma's scale which is one of the super high tech ones. I'd suggest getting a new one- it's worth the peace of mind.
Change the batteries in your scale if its digital, mine was doing that and i was like wtf, then i changed the batteries and all was well :) x
ReplyDeleteHey sweety, aw I hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI know it's so scary when scales do that! Mine said 0.00 the other day so now I don't know if I can trust them. All good tips above though, solid ground and changing the batteries.
Also, I would say it's a compliment to be compared to Keira, she is slim and gorgeous, especially in that photo!
Good luck with the plan :)
