Ever since my bout of food poisoning, I haven't had much of an appetite. I ate Strings on Sunday, full meal and threw that up... since then, I've picked at my food and snacked off and on instead of eating any real meals. I don't know why my appetite isn't back, but I'm not going to complain for now. The past for days, on an average day, I eat fruit for breakfast, snack on cheese cubes, for lunch a whole grain (either a few bites of toast or 1/2 bowl of cream of wheat) and a lot of water. I usually snack on some peanuts or cashews around 4pm, and have dinner ready around 6:15pm, although I only have a few bites of the veggies, and I'm done. Before bed, I'll snack on some pretzels or a yogurt... and that's about it. I'm not sure if I'm officially back to the way I ate before I became pregnant w/ Zoe, or if it's still part of the not feeling well. I feel 100% back to normal though, so I'm thinkin' it's permanent. I have to say, I've been steadily losing weight, so that's a plus, and my milk is still in full supply. I've never gotten to the point where I feel weak or light-headed, so I think I'm going to try, what I call the "Hollywood Diet" for a few more weeks and see how I feel. I'm sure I'll get back to my pre-baby weight a lot quicker, and as long as I'm making healthy choices, I don't see how it's a bad thing. I'm not trying to develop anorexia or anything, but my desire to eat has almost completely diminished. Strange. Any comments??
My thoughts are... if you feel like yourself, you're hydrated, good milk supply... it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong. You know your body better than anyone :-)
