Ok so this is a tiny thing and I am fully aware it might mean nothing but I am writing it down anyway because I never write down the good days. For about three weeks I have been trying to actually eat something proper in the morning before I leave the house. Not a biscuit grabbed on the way out. Not just tea. Something with eggs or yoghurt or whatever I can throw together in ten minutes. I started doing it because someone mentioned the afternoon crash thing in a thread here and I thought yes, that is exactly what is happening to me, every single day around 3pm I feel like I am dissolving. This week I have made it to 4pm three times without that horrible shaky foggy wall. Three times! I know that is not a cure. I know next week might be rubbish again. But I have been so used to just writing off the second half of every working day that I genuinely could not tell you the last time I felt okay at 4pm. I am not saying it is the breakfast. Could be sleep. Could be that work has been slightly less chaotic. Could be the ten minute walk I started doing after dinner most evenings, which I am also noting down because I want to see if there is actually a pattern or if I am just being optimistic. I have been so fed up with being told to eat less and move more as if I have not been trying that for twenty years. This does not feel like a diet. It just feels like... feeding myself properly? Which sounds so basic I am slightly embarrassed to type it. Anyway. Noting it. In case anyone else is in the 3pm crash club x
