Having Parkinson's my appetite is often very poor, and I can easily go without a meal here or there. Aware of how important a balanced nutritional diet is, I try not to skip meals and pay close attention when I feel I don't want to eat anything. I make sure I eat something, however little, just as long as it's food, but somewhere during the past few months, I must have unconsciously given myself permission to eat ice cream sundaes when nothing else appears appetizing to me. Having no large mirror in our house, when visiting friends yesterday, I was horrified to catch a glimpse of myself in their full length mirror! I suddenly realised that I may not be eating that much, but the ice-cream sundaes were certainly making their existence known. So today is a new day, and no more sundaes for me! Finding the right balance is obviously harder said than done.
