Road Bump/Bad Foods

Today was not a very proud day for me. I decided to skip the gym and I didn't choose healthy options for food. After working out yesterday I got really bad chafing (maybe tmi, but whatever, it happens), so today I decided against working out because it hurt to drive, let alone do any physical activity. 


I am on Spring Break right now, and the house I grew up in isn't really good for being healthy, either.  My mom always buys stuff like donuts, waffles, sugary cereal, etc. so today has been hard to stay on track (I'm glad my sister ate the chocolate donut before I could get to it!).  We have a treadmill and weights I should take advantage of the rest of break, but it's just so hard to decide to eat healthy here, especially when the bad sugary food is easier to eat.  I went to Panda Express tonight and ate terribly greasy Asian food and tomorrow my dad is taking me to BK for breakfast (it's our tradition when I come home). 


I feel terrible right now though after eating that Asian food.  I am too sensitive to food to eat something so rich.  Tomorrow I'll probably feel similar but the foods I eat in the morning don't seem to have such a negative effect.  If I could, I would only eat in the mornings because the only things that seem to agree with me at night are fruits, veggies, small amounts of low-fat cheese, low-fat milk, and bland grains (crackers, bread, ect).  Sugar gives me a headache, red meat and caffeine make me feel like crap all over, and too much fat sends me to the bathroom.  If it was so easy I would just gear my diet around the things that I know work for me (thank goodness all the bad foods make me feel bad and the good foods make me feel good!) but with a boyfriend who refuses to even attempt to eat well and who loves going out to eat as well as a small budget, it's hard to make that a rule.  Plus, I don't feel full when I eat anything that makes me feel good except for brown rice, so I'd have to buy a larger amount of food to make me feel full, and I just can't afford it right now.  


I'm considering going to the doctor this week and talking about many things including my reaction to food, my blood sugar levels, and depression.  I think all of these things are affecting my body in a negative way and before I do anything drastic I should probably get checked out.
