Some Sort Of Bug - Making Me Feel Like I Am Starving

Ugh - I am so frustrated because I have picked up some sort of bug. I am not sure if it is a cold or the flu coming on or what, but I have that feeling in my throat and an insatiable hunger feeling in my gut. I am trying to just eat small amounts at a time, but this is driving me nuts. I have actually gained two pounds.

On top of that, I have been told not to exert myself until my cardiac stress test, which is tomorrow. I have gone almost a week without substantial exercise.

I know things will get back on track when I feel better and when I can exercise again, but it is a terrible and familiar feeling to be making progress and then have something come along and mess it up. It is usually at times like this when, prior to surgery, I would go off a diet and gain again.

I can't wait to get over all this so that I can get back on track. I was mostly uninterested in food for a while, and now I am just ravenous.
