Ok, since finding medications that actually work for me.... I am no longer diet sensitive. Before, I was MAJORLY diet sensitive... I couldn't even drink regular water, only Evian... I couldn't eat or drink anything that was even mildly acidic for 3+ years....
Now for the last 6 months, I've been able to eat ANYTHING without any physical pain.... The problem is that I have been eating EVERYTHING in massive quantities and I don't know how to stop because I can't continue doing this. I have always loved spicy food, sour candy, and chocolate which I couldn't have for a couple of years... but the weight is piling on and rightly so! I mean last week I ate (the big size bags with like 5 servings in them each) a bag of sour patch kids, sour watermelons, and sour neon worms....... in 3 days! and then in the past week I've eaten 3 big bags of the Cape Cod Jalepeno cheese chips.......all by myself.... on Friday I had a footlong sub with cookies and soda. Everyday with lunch I have like 3 brownies (not exagerating!) and then I'm constantly eating chocolate.... I go through a bag of those bite size dove chocolate that you have to unwrap EVERY DAY!
How do I stop???????????? I don't even want to know how much weight I've gained in the past couple of weeks. It doesn't help that I'm at college and I don't have a roomate so there isn't really anyone to tell me (like my mom) that I should stop! Food has become my entertainment, and it's like I'm making up for years of following the IC diet and eating bland food.... (oh don't even get me started on how much condiments I put on my food which also piles it on).......
Oh, and I became a vegetarian in the mean time soooooooo that's no help! I originally became a vegetarian because meat (even organic) triggered IC flares for me but now I am disgusted by the taste/smell of meat because I haven't eaten it in 3yrs. When you stop eating meat, you also start questioning why you should eat it in the first place.
There should seriously be a study on how much weight you gain when you no longer need the IC diet.... it's like I've lost my healthy eating habits....
Oh, and I've gone from weighing 135lbs to 165lbs in the period from July to December. (In my picture I weigh like 160lbs)........ I know this isn't really fat, but I'm NOT eating healthy at all.... and I know my cholesterol is probably sky rocketing! I also really don't want to become a yo yo dieter!
Has any other ICers experienced this? Any suggestions on how to stop? I can't go on like this (and as I'm writing this I'm busy consuming an entire slab of cadbury chocolate after finishing all the dove chocolate)
aaaah
(I'll probably be able to kiss my cavity free teeth goodbye fairly soon too!)
