Yesterday's diet did consist of some sugar, a pickle, and cheese. I'm getting really dizzy throughout the day and the small doses of sugar here in there really help me not fall over (if I move my head too fast when walking or talking I lose my balance and fall over). So far keeping bits of sugar in my diet minimized that. I only lost my balance once yesterday but it's still early in this round. I didn't have the second dose of meat protein yesterday but substituted with the cheese. We went out to a Halloween get together at a local shaved ice stand hence the late night pickle snack and tsps of snow cone. I know Dr. S says no pickled food, I'm assuming the salt content is pretty high, but I've also noticed I'm more likely to keep to the diet if I make modifications so I can still participate in family/friend gatherings. I've noticed it's easy to feel isolated on such a strict diet and easily feel excluded from every day life. It's easier to stick with it for a longer amount of time if you're not so hard on yourself and not fret about eating a few things here and there.

I am hungry this morning though. Not starving but definitely hungry. I'm going to go dig up a boiled egg from the fridge. I made a few boiled eggs for hunger emergencies.
