Vera, 61. Postmeno and still learning, apparently. Something I've clocked recently: the 3pm thing. Every single day I hit a wall and reach for biscuits or whatever's nearest. I used to think it was just tiredness or boredom but I've started wondering if it's actually to do with what I had for breakfast. Most mornings I have toast. Maybe half a slice if I'm not hungry. And then I wonder why I'm flagging by mid-afternoon?? I started having eggs with it a couple of weeks ago, or some Greek yoghurt if I can't face cooking. Nothing dramatic. And I think... maybe it's helping? The crashes feel less severe. I'm reluctant to say that too loudly in case I jinx it. I've also been doing a rough plan for three dinners a week rather than standing in the kitchen at half six wondering what on earth to make. That alone has taken something off my shoulders, honestly. I've got a GP review coming up and I want to ask about bloodwork, specifically whether there's anything that might explain the energy dips, the weight sitting differently than it ever has. I don't want to go in and just say "I'm tired" because I know what that gets you. Does anyone have suggestions for how to phrase it so they actually look into it properly? I always come out of appointments feeling like I didn't ask the right things. x
