Yesterday was a good day food-wise. I still had 7 1/2 points left when I went to bed. I wasn't hungry so I wasn't going to use them.

Today I feel like crap on toast. A little post-ms instead of pre, I guess. Have had a slight headache, Advil's not working. I can see where this headache is going because of how hungry I am. I am not like the typical migraine sufferer. of course not, why be normal. When I have migraines, or the beginning of one, I am freakishly hungry. It can not be ignored and usually the best cure is Mexican food. Who knows why, but it has worked time and time again. Somehow the combination of the salt, fat, carbs and a little protein works better than any pain reliever.

So I call the place down the street, go get my order. This time though, I don't order the enchiladas. They seem somehow more decadent with all that cheese. I go for the chicken fajita quesadilla. I also counted out my tortilla chips, so I could add up the correct points.

This is an example of how these new habits have started working, on the one day of the week when I usually splurge, I'm finding fewer things appetizing, I'm eating smaller amounts. I've just about lost my appetite for anything fried.

My headache is lessening as I type. Hip hip hooray. Now if 5 o'clock can only hurry up.
