Will I Ever Eat Yummy Food Again?

Side Effects

I’m on week 4 of 2.5, and I’ve not been able to find consistency in what makes me feel sick. For example, I had the Trader Joe’s chicken teriyaki meatballs one night and was completely fine. The same meal the next night resulted in a miserable morning with 3 hours on the toilet. The only difference I can think was my hydration levels?

It seems like any food out also sets me off, even in tiny quantities. I had less than a cup of a chicken pasta dish with the same issue. A piece of chicken satay with a few spoonfuls of coconut chicken soup- same problems.

It seems like the only things that don’t consistently set me off are fruit and fair life protein shakes. I want to eat, even with my appetite diminished, but eating is so scary now. Every time I have something I like, I feel like I pay for it. I guess I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if it gets better?

By the way, I am intending on staying at 2.5 as long as I can. Not planning to move up at this time.
