for some reason, my pain increased a little this weekend & im just so tired! i think my vague is related to my pain, but it typically doesnt make me this exhausted. luckily, i didnt turn to food for comfort or to keep me awake. i will admit, it was tempting, but after having pizza tonight, i am happy that i didnt give in all weekend long. im sure i would feel bloated & "heavy" if i gave in to my cravings. i also had some great meals this weekend which helped me get over the thoughts of shrimp in garlic sauce, fried rice, & a shrimp roll! :)
