Yuck I'm sick!!

magicksnmakeup

Of course the only time I get sick this year is when I've finally gotten motivated to lose this weight. I'm always so bad when I'm sick. I crave comfort food and dont deny myself anything. I normally live off of mashed potatoes!! I cant do it this time. I've lost 6 lbs in the last couple weeks. I cant put it back on just because I feel icky. Also there goes my work out for the week too. I'm a smoker so I have issues breathing to begin with. Working out with a stuffy nose isn't happening.
What do ya'll do when your sick? Do you know of any low calorie bland foods besides soup, I've burnt myself out of soup already.

i have the same problem,

I tend to eat stew's, jacket potatoes, but my ultimate comfort food is fish finger sandwiches (not great but makes me feel better)

I usually reach for super sweet or super salty, since those are the only things that really register with a stuffy nose.

I say pick up Lean Cuisine and Smart One frozen entree's. ALso, there is a little trick to make "mashed potatoes". Take cauliflower, nuke it, and blend it to the consistancy of mashed potatoes. it's a South Beach Diet trick. For the recipe search here under recipes (I'm positive I saw someone write about it) or Google South Beach mashed Potatoes.

:flowerforyou:
Feel better!

Honey as I just posted and it seems alot of us here have it. I was just sick with both a cold and a small case of ecoli. I am one of the people who just wont eat when I am sick. But I would avoid anything heavy like the taters they taste yummo but the sugar in them will make your congestion worsen(I just read that). I would force down the healthy stuff. Heck eat something you would bnever eat cause you cant taste it all that well hahahaha.
