feelings after eating

From this article at The Fat Nutritionist:

In my mind, food that makes you feel weird or off — no matter how good it tastes right now — isn’t food you can unconditionally love. Amounts of food that make you feel bad aren’t amounts of food you actually want to eat. And if you find yourself continually sacrificing your well-being for the lovely, immediate feel and taste of food, it’s a sign that something has gone wrong.

Something is wrong. I need to keep a diary of what I'm eating and how it makes me feel, so I know what actually makes me happy vs what tastes good but ultimately makes me feel terrible.

Things that make me feel good:

- ice water at meals, and not at meals - but not too much. drinking too much in one evening leaves me feeling uncomfortable (and by "too much" I mean literally about two liters, I drink that much water)
- salad, but only when I'm out. it never tastes as good at home
- watermelon - I can eat this by itself
- mandarin oranges - delicious but too many can make me queasy
- ice cream in small amounts
- non-sugar cereal (but I can totally overdo it)
- certain sugar cereal - but they scratch my mouth and make me thirsty

Things that make me feel bad:

- macaroni and cheese - or anything with a LOT of cheese. I think I may be mildly lactose intolerant
- overeating ANYTHING, esp dairy things
- greasy, processed foods
- anything more than about 8 oz of orange juice

I need to use a smaller bowl because I feel compelled to fill the big one that I have, which leads to more eating, which leads to feeling totally sick.

This entry is total word vomit. XD
