I'm full to the brim with cold and up at 2.15am UK time cos I can't sleep with temp, blocked nose, dry throat from mouth breathing, upset stomach and starving cos I've been up about 4 hours longer than I allowed for with food and drink.

Also feeling a tad sorry for myself...did you notice?

Carbs will be thru the roof as the idea of meat, fish or eggs is...well...offputting right now. Crackers all the way. But did do 2250ml Water by bedtime.

Guess I came here for.sympathy but also to say you should remind me of this if I start fretting about a stall :-)

Take care of yourself. Hope you feel better soon.?

Thanks xxx Managed 2 hours sleep before the coughing started, but on the mega brightside I had already drunk 750mls by 5.30am

? GET WELL SOON ?

It's hard to eat healthy when you don't feel good. I've had a cold for the last 10 days and thought it was getting better and going away but now it's back and I'm taking cold medicine again. I've been tempted to comfort myself with some carbs, but I haven't yet and hope I can hold out. Chocolate protein shakes are my "go to" splurge.

I always stall if I am sick, the meds are full of SUGAR and I have no apetite. plenty of fluids and rest my friend!

I'm glad to hear other peeps are like me. Not glad that ur sick too, but at least I know I'm not alone.

Thanks all - Better now, but made the silly mistake of weighing myself the day after I felt human again - 3 pounds off in 5 days. 2 of which I had regained by the Monday weigh in ? Such a relief to realise it wasn't just me being lazy and out of shape as I initially thought when I was sickening for it.
