This has been a rough winter, and as many times as I've mentioned classes being cancelled, it has to be apparent to even a reader in the southern hemisphere that we've had a lot of snow. But we've also had some very cold temperatures. I've especially found these cold temperatures difficult to deal with. Part of it is simply the fact that I've lost a considerable amount of insulation, and then there was Monday evening.
I had missed posting that night because Ken and I had an appointment 30 miles out of town after work. It wasn't nearly as cold as it's been the last couple of nights, but I felt chilled to the bone. My teeth were actually chattering. I think Ken thought I was nuts. It was really uncomfortable....but then I realized that it had been a long day, and I had only eaten about 800 calories. I've had a few incidents in the past where I'd start shivering and my teeth would chatter when my blood sugar would drop, when I was hypoglycemic. Undoubtedly that's what happened on Monday night as well. I came home, ate something and gee, I don't know how late it was before I felt warm even under the electric blanket.
It's not a reason to put off dieting, but a diet during the winter can be more trying. So, if you're cold right now, consider how much worse it could be, and pile another blanket on your toes.
