OK I get it now

I'm still sick... body aches, sharp headache, nausea. I was so hungry after yesterday's fast, but couldn't think of anything legal that sounded good. I ate crackers. Not flax crackers, just saltines. About a third of a tube. As to nutrition I don't know that they have muc, just something to fill my tummy and calm things down. It's my first flagrant cheat... and I'm not happy. I must admit, my tummy does feel better.

Hey Bella thank you for the well-wishes. No I'm feeling better this afternoon, had some pumpkin soup and so far so good. I'm nervous about cravings returning, though. *wince*

Liv, what did you have when you were sick? The only things I could think of other than broth were things like toast and crackers, 100% carbs, bland foods that wouldn't upset the stomach. Thank you for the well-wishes. Perhaps if my Aunt Winnie were here (from Hampshire) she could help me find some new comfort foods.

When we get sick at home the grown ups used to make this oat meal soup - very simple thing but if I get sick I want it. And also warm black current drink or sometimes rose hip tea. So those would be my go to items.
I have not really been sick while on Atkins so I do not know what I will do when it happens.
I hope you are feeling better Suzanne

Liv thank you so much... As I read this I just smacked my forehead LOLOL It never crossed my mind to have oatmeal instead of the crackers. Or the herbal tea choices. I'll definitely keep this in mind.
