I can smell and taste a little bit more as the day goes on, so hopefully that means I am on the mend! Everyone loses their taste at some point when they have a cold or sinus infection for a bit. But this is the first time I didnt have taste or smell for almost 3 days. It made me more conscious of my eating habits. I have said how I havent had many cravings and that my appetite has been under control since I have tried to cut sugars out and eat more complex carbs. And it was the same these past few days. So what is very enlightening to me is that I found myself very disappointed when I couldnt taste. I wanted to be able to taste and enjoy my food, and I was ticked off when I couldnt. I guess I really do love food. There were a few times I found myself wandering around aimlessly looking for something to eat even though I wasnt hungry or craving anything. I had to remind myself that I wouldnt be able to taste anything anyway, but it was again a realization that I DO eat when I am not hungry or craving anything. There was no smell that made me hungry. I was looking for food because I am used to it being something that makes me feel good, or just to eat out of boredom. Interesting.
