#eating
I’m completely not a winter person. I lost all my motivation at winter. Can’t wait for the spring ☆
Anyway winter this year is so warm I’m afraid of what summer brings us. I’m scared of the drought.
Here are some tips that help us prevent the drought
- save as much water as you can
- don’t mow your lawn too often the grass is natural water store ;)
- also try to protest against mowing grass in parks and removing green areas
- save trees, support organisations planting trees, use ecosia
- plant something in your garden or your area ;)
- recycle!
- help to clean up the Earth
- go less waste ;)
- avoid consumerism
- reduce your screen time ;)
- eat less meat, try to grow your own food
- when it’s hot water your plants with rainwater and greywater
Together we can make a change!
I think the meaning of life is eating good food in the company of people you love
Eating Disorder Awareness Week
WHAT WOULD YOU BE THINKING ABOUT WITH THIS DATE?
It’s been a little while since I last updated but there hasn’t been a lot to share. Seeing how it’s Christmas though - and we all know how fun that can be when it comes to the eating part - I thought I’d write a little update of how things have been since last time.
So, having since seen the dietitian and tried (and failed) to eat more fruit, I have started taking a multivitamin daily and have been having the occasional fruit smoothie (usually consisting of a bunch of bananas that are near going off and some chocolate chips and/or honey). I still have some tinned fruit which I’m planning of turning into smoothies at some point. Other than that though, I have been avoiding having much in the way of fruit and veg because of how badly my attempts to eat even just a little bit have gone. My stoma nurse agrees that I should listen to my body and eat what I know is safe for me, feeding back to my dietitian when I next see her.
As for the low sodium, I’ve given up drinking the St. Mark’s rehydration solution because it makes me super thirsty and I always go over my 2 litre daily fluid limit. Instead, I’ve been having other drinks like Lucozade and Sneak supplement drinks as they contain sodium as well as a load of other extra vitamins. With these, I’m able to stay within my daily fluid limit and I don’t feel thirsty at all by the evening. I realise this isn’t the same as taking the St. Mark’s solution, but it works better for me, and I am going to speak to my GP in the new year to make sure she is happy with what I am doing.
On a more positive note (minor TMI warning), I was able to eat Christmas dinner (complete with a few veggies) and so far so good; I haven’t had any issue passing anything and my stoma output has been ideal, with only a tiny bit of pancaking but no leaks! I was able to have carrots, roast potatoes as well as a spoonful of mashed swede, a piece of cauliflower and a single parsnip. I want to try and add more veg to my weekly meals, even if it’s just some carrots and potatoes, so this is a positive sign.
Anyway, whatever you celebreate, I hope you have had a fun-filled and safe 25th December.
