improved physical health → improved mental health

I think I have low blood sugar. Reasons I suspect this include:

• My brain gets really fuzzy up to an hour or two before mealtime. I get very spacey and irritable, and I have trouble making decisions.
• After I eat a large meal, I often go into a food coma. I go into a slump and have low mental and physical energy.
• I also often slump around 3 or 4 in the afternoon.
• I’m ravenous throughout the first half of a meal, sometimes even longer.

For the past few days I’ve been trying to eat smaller meals at mealtimes and eat healthy snacks every two hours or so. It’s greatly decreased my frequency of slumpiness and my frequency of spaciness/bitchiness. We’ll try it for a while and see how it goes. I’m also going to try varying my foods somewhat and see if I notice any differences in how I feel.

In other good health news, Debbie from Good Life Modalities seems to have fixed the circulation in my feet and hands! My hands and feet, most notably my feet, used to get cold easily. But for the past few weeks, they’ve been totally great! In fact, I’ve been uncomfortably warm when wearing the socks that I usually wear! This is really impressive. She is really awesome. In fact, I’m paying for another session with her out of my own spending money, because we already exceeded our “crap” budget this month due to getting car troubles fixed, and I didn’t want to wait until next month. I think I’m sending a good message to myself that my health is worth spending my own money on.

Hopefully these positive physical changes will improve my mental well-being too. (:
