diet :-(

I gained 13 1/2 pounds on the trip!  I went off my diet (obviously--since I'm forbidden to eat out and forbidden to have desserts or anything containing sugar or white flour.

I've lost three of them, as of this morning, but am still 10 pounds above what I was.

If I go off my diet, the following things happen:

1. my fibro gets worse\ sometimes MUCH worse
2. my insomnia gets MUCH worse
3. I get crankier and more depressed.
4. I gain VAST amounts of weight VERY QUICKLY
5. and worst of all, it is VERY HARD to get back on the diet--VERY HARD!  Very very hard.  I do OK with it once I'm on it.  Usually.

Evening

It was weirdly hot and stuffy-feeling OUTSIDE last night, humid, heavy and ICKY!  (at our house).

I had a TERRIBLE NIGHT, really bad insomnia less than 3.5 hours of sleep.

Insomnia

I did this on Panther Studios Colorpad in my iPad, then fooled with it on photoshop a little.
