stitchwhichThe Diet Gods bapped me one in the gut last night.
See, yesterday was our 31st wedding anniversary. It was also the evening of our monthly baronial business meeting and Arni is the Seneschal so he runs that meeting. So I knew better than to think we'd skip it but was determined to celebrate somehow. My solution was to take a side-step from the Atkin's diet I've been doing and eat a slice of apple pie ala mode.
The stomachache started about three hours later. Like labour, it intensified throughout the night and into the morning, to the point that I became somewhat lightheaded and stupid from the pain. I kept feeling my gut, laying my hand over the most painful spot and saying things to myself like, "That's way too high for the appendix, too much in front for the kidneys, too low for the stomach..." It at least diverted me from, "OMG! I'm gonna die! Worse, what if I don't? Will this ever stop???"
It did finally fade. And now I know that going nearly carb-less for an extended time and then shocking my system with a sucker-punch of sugar is, shall we say, a baaaad idea.
