I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 215: Sugar Woes
Lately, my digestive system has been a pain in the ass. If I eat anything other than granola bars, crackers, ice cream, or chocolate, I get a very upset stomach.
So this evening, I was hungry. And so I stopped at a CVS and got a pack of Hershey chocolate bars. Then my friend and I headed to Mellow Mushroom to play trivia with friends.
So I sit at the table and proceed to eat all of the chocolate. No surprise there.
Then I see that Mellow Mushroom has a new menu, including new desserts. So I get a large cookie with ice cream. No surprise there.
Hersheys' bars + a large cookie + ice cream = one very tired Gina the next day
Now my options for food are: crackers, granola bars, and milk. And mini donuts. I had mini donuts today for lunch.
I feel like I have to choose between eating the above foods (but being tired), or eating other foods (but having a stomach ache). Both are not good options in my book. And thus is the current reason why I hate eating. But then I get hungry, which makes me tired and cranky. So regardless, I am led to be tired and cranky, so matter what I do or don't eat.

I think you should go to the doctor. You need nutrients not just sugar!
