I hate doing that cause it sounds pathetic but I don't think I can handle another headache like i had yesterday. It ended up making me sick to my stomache it was so bad. And i'm not a baby when it comes to pain but that was awful. Since I can't go to the store til this week-end I've been trying to do the best that i can with what i have. I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day but i have aboslutely nothing that is even semi good for you. I always cook breakfast so that means bacon, homemade hash browns, homemade pancakes..no wonder i'm fat lol..so what i did is i skipped breakfast BUT ate an early lunch and my choices weren't much better so i chose Ramen noodles. |
Good job weaning yourself - you are not pathertic, but very strong and it's great that you take care of yourself. You know when I stop drinking coffee, I get the meanest headaches - and just for that I stopped drinking it all together - if it makes me hurt when I don't get it, I am in some form addicted to it (or my body is) and I will not accept that.
So I think weaning is great! And remember what has been said - drink water instead so you get enough fluid

Breakfast is very important! It is your fuel for the rest of the day - never "skip" anything, but find replacement for it.
Eat a bowlful of Oatmeal with lowfat milk (if you HAVE to have sugar, you can have ½ a teaspoon), drink a glass of juice with no added sugar and eat a banana or an apple. Peel some fresh carrots and keep them in a sealed plastic bag, so you can snack on them all through the day

For lunch have two pieces of rye bread with for example bean spread or liver paste/low fat pate on them. Eat an orange or pear on the side

Do grapes or cucumber for snacks bestween lunch and dinner.
For dinner choose lowfat meat, fry it in 1 spoonful oliveoil, choose a mix of vegetables, ie. asparagus, squash, mushrooms, babycorn, cherry tomatoes - chop it all into pieces (1x1 cm or there about) and fry it in 1 spoonful oliveoil.
In the evening you can have a apple or another piece of fruit if you HAVE to have something other than water. Have a 1liter bottle of water with you at all times and drink as much as you like
There - good luck to you my friend
EDIT: If you can get the fruit as ecological/biodynamic that is the best
