First Dose

I wanted to eat bread with margarine but I’ve run out of margarine. I heated a portion of some leftover fried macaroni in the fridge. Tasted yuck but I finished it anyway. I walked my room and saw a McDonalds pamphlet. Darn! Why didn’t I see that earlier? I looked through the pamphlet. No! I have to stop bingeing! Argggh! Freak it!
“Welcome to McDonalds. May I have your order?”
“Yes. I’d like to have a Big Breakfast Meal with the drink changed to iced Milo. I’d also like to have pancakes, ala-carte.”
I didn’t manage to finish all the food. I had left 2 remaining pancakes and a hashbrown for lunch. It was already 10.20am by the time I took my pills. “Remember, the pills will make you sleepy. Don’t worry. You can sleep a bit.” Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought.
By noon, I was battling to keep my eyes open. With heavy rain, cool weather, heavy meal, drowsy medicine, what more excuses do I need to sleep?
At night, I popped a sleeping pill with 2 accompanying pills. All it took was half an hour. I had never felt THAT drowsy before. Boy, I slept well. And I was proud I could wake up at 7am.
Dr T also mentioned that the medicine suppresses my appetite. Bye-bye binges.
