Yeah, I'm pretty sure the needing water thing is true too. Probably why miso and fruit work for me.

Speaking of fruit and hunger, does anyone else like to occasionally eat whole raw lemons like an apple ? I really like lemons and sour tasting things so I do this on occasion. My friends don't believe me that I actually enjoy it because of course my face is all scrunched up the whole time from the sourness, but just because a food causes pain doesn't mean it's not delicious and enjoyable, just like with spicy food !

I don't know what you mean by eating raw lemon, but I do eat it like I would an orange sometimes. You know, by peeling it and then eating the slices.
Is that what you meant?

When my present husband and I were first married, I moved over to SA to join him, with my two then mid-teens sons, the older kids being grown up and moved away by then. Husband is a lousy cook, so the boys and I took over the cooking. Husband mostly liked that, but could never handle our version of stirfry, because we would toss a couple of roughly chopped lemons in with the meat and veggies. Took him years to get across to us that for most people lemon is a sparingly-used condiment rather than an ingredient! We still like it though. And we still munch on whole lemons.

Oh, wow.  That sounds awesome. I'm going to have to try it!

Kind of, I eat the whole thing like an apple with the peel and all. Just pick it up and bite into it. I also really like bitter tastes so I've always like eating the peels of citrus fruit too. I suppose I specified raw because I like to use lemon and lemon juice in my cooking a lot too.

The stirfry Roisin mentioned sounds delicious. I'm sure it's wonderfully tangy :3

Right when the nausea subsided and I felt like I was finally starting to get my appetite back, a headache comes along and kills it.

Life really isn't fair.

I guess I'm going to be on and off on this forum.... I just have personal/college/school stuff going on, and I'm just driving myself downwards without even meaning to.

Lazy8, hopefully it's getting better. Nausea certainly isn't fun.

On a completely unrelated note, I have discovered that throwing a volleyball at a linoleum floor as hard as you can can be extremely cathartic if you do it enough times.
I hate it when we do volleyball in gym class.
Like, so much.
