Flatline, Baby 

Plus I overslept, 

and was 30 minutes late. 

Lol - it happens. 

I feel a nice and welcome change

In my heart and attitude. 

From my beloved family. 

My fave color red. 

My fave Buffalo Plaid. 

Rainy beautiful lovely. 

I also lost 4 pounds overnight. 

I’m not sure how this happens. 

But all Fatties

And Former Fatties 

Know that it does happen. 

So. My life coach / nurse coach

Has been helping me understand 

One-on-one style about expectations 

And all the things people address 

In counseling. 

I also had an epiphany 

About my recent hunger

Because I’m literally hungry 

All. The. Time. 

Since Zantac was taken off the market,

I still have an ulcer. 

And taking all this extra Advil 

For my toothache -

Boom! 

People tend to eat to sooth 

Duodenal ulcers. 

With peptic ulcers, 

People avoid eating, 

Or eat smaller amounts. 

As the stomach expands 

There might even be little areas

In the lining that get “folded in”

As the stomach contracts

(Think: Rugae)

Those ulcerations often

 don’t show up in exams. 

How to get rid of ulcers?

I would say Fasting. 

And Dry Fasting. 

And for that, you have to be ready.
