Waterloo

Diet. Exercise. My waterloo.

The sickening feeling I have in my stomach for the past few days is brought about by "bad" foods. The problem is, the "bad" has its own "attraction". (And it not only goes for food...)

So, the foods I have to avoid are:
  • Chocolate (Waaahhhh! The number 1 culprit!)
  • Fatty meals
  • Coffee
  • Alcohol
  • Onions
  • Peppermint and spearmint
  • Tomato-based products
  • Beans

Aside from that, I have to...

  • Eat small, more frequent meals rather than large meals.
  • Lose weight, if over weight.
  • Don't exercise immediately after eating.
  • Avoid tight-fitting clothing, especially after meal.
  • Don't eat within two to three hours of going to bed.
  • Avoid late night snacks altogether, since lying down soon after eating will almost always worsen the problem.
  • Elevate the head of my bed four to six inches.

I should have tried harder; but, when I "reported" to my doctor during my follow-up check-up of what happened Sunday early morning because of my food binge last Saturday, she must have realized I am not comfortable her suggesting that I undergo endoscopy. (Of course!) So, she advised that if I keep "burping", have frequent "gas" attacks and stomach ache, I must see her again. And I think, this time, I'll no longer have an excuse... (hu! hu! hu!)

Guess, I have to improve my gastro-lifestyle. That means, the hearty meal I had for lunch at Teriyaki Boy in Glorietta (a birthday treat) would be my last food binge... for now. c",)

P.S. I was in Cloud 9 last night. I learned that some of the pictures I took was posted in ClickTheCity's City Shots.
