Fuck me.
I hate food.
I worked out a rough meal plan before I moved into my new apartment. I used the food pyramid as a guide:
grains (starches) 6-11 servings
vegetables 3-5
fruit 2-4
dairy 2-3
meat etc 2-3
I'm going at the minimum except for veggies, because otherwise I fear that I will go insane. It's *so* *much* *food*...even though really it isn't and I probably eat way more when I starve all day then binge. Since I'm not focusing on the diabetes issue right now, I decided to be pretty low-carb so that even if I didn't feel up to testing and taking insulin before a meal it wouldn't be *that* bad. So, here's what I came up with
Breakfast:
1 fruit
3/4 cup bran- or cornflakes, 1.5 starch/grains
3/4 cup plain yoghurt, 1 dairy
1 tbs. soynuts (roasted), 1/2 meat etc.
Lunch:
1/3 cup (raw) oatmeal, 1.5 starch/grains
1 tbs. soynuts, 1/2 meat etc
1/3 cup milk, 1/3 dairy
soup: bullion
1 small potato, 1 starch/grains
cabbage, carrots, celery, 1 1/4 vegetable
dinner:
2/3 cup milk, 2/3 dairy
salad:
lettuce, spinach, tomato, pepper, 2.5 vegetable
1/2 cup tofu, 1 meat etc.
soup, 1 starch/grains, 1 1/4 vegetable
Probably I should be eating more. Comparativly, I'm eating less at breakfast than any other meal, but it's ridiculous. I feel like I'm stuffing myself. After lunch today I wanted to die and I nearly purged. There's been a lot of "nearly" in my life lately.
I hate eating. I hate food. Bad place. Bad.
I don't like living alone. I don't like having this much space. It's freaking me out. 5 more weeks til home.
