I need to remember to eat!!!!!

Even when I am feeling sick!!

I was feeling so sick much of yesterday. I drank a lot of fluids.. but now that I look back on it I only ate one meal and it was about 10 am. I did snack on a few pretzels during the day.
I did have a few sour candies to try and settle my tummy later that night.

Anyways I woke up at 11 pm having a major blood sugar crash.

I was sweating really badly, shaking and felt really weak.
All I could think about was cereal... weird.
At first I didn't realize what was going on.. if just felt so strange!
So I made myself get up and I ate a bowl of cereal.. and then another.
I stopped sweating almost immediatly, and then the shaking stopped soon after. The weakness is still slightly there...but much better than it was last night.

Yep, I've already stocked my house and car with saltine crackers and mint hard candy to suck on. I had horrible ms with my first, and absolutely HORRIBLE dizziness and nausea with my second. My goal is to gain at least 25lbs this time(last time I lost 20 and never gained it back and I'm not a big person) and I'm going to be pigging out!

I've had times when I could eat little to nothing during the day... and I survived. My first pregnancy I lost 55 pounds, and it was all good. I'm not a fan of forcing oneself to eat if you really can't handle it. I give myself the opportunity pretty regularly. I'll wander out to the kitchen to make something for the kids, and putz around to see if anything is appealing to me. If nothing is, though, I'll drink some water and move along. I know from experience that forcing myself to eat when my body says "Hell no!" is a good way to find myself offering devotions to the porcelain god.
