So yesterday, I had a revelation. I was ready to go. I texted my work out friend (who has been crazy stressed at work and not as able to meet me at the gym) that I was going at 7:15. Going to hit the elipitcal / treadmill for 30 minute or so, and then meet her at yoga at 8. I was ready. I figured I would eat some dinner before hand (it was about 5:30). So this is where the "pasta is dangerous" title comes in. Obviously I know pasta isn't the greatest. But it is easy to make and easy to measure, so I decided to have some for dinner. Somewhere in my crazy mind, I had a klutzy / stupid / crazy mishap, and in trying to drain the pasta, poured half a pan of boiling water down the front of me. On my stomach. HOLY SHIT! WTF! (I know I don't usually like cussing on here, but it was definitely a "colorful" set of words I used. I threw down the pan, stripped the shirt off and ran to the bath / shower to try and get it cooled off. It has blistered. **At this point, if you are squeamish DO NOT SCROLL DOWN!**
While it looks much worse in person, I will point out that it is not as pink and somewhat brown in real life --- and has large blisters. This is a pic taken this morning (sorry for my HIDEOUS Stomach!) over 12 hours later. I am wearing a cotton maxi skirt kind of thing, because the idea of putting a zipper over this... NOT GOOD! So in closing. Not only is carby pasta bad for your diet, but it is also dangerous. STAY AWAY! This has been your PSA for today.
that looks so painful! Is it feeling better today? Are you using anything on it? maybe some antibiotic cream to make sure the blisters don't get infected?
ReplyDeleteThanks. I stopped by the pharmacy clinic on the way home today, but it was super busy. I have an issue with not going to the doc. :-)
DeleteYIKES! I've heard pouring vinegar on it works!
ReplyDeleteOuch!
ReplyDeleteDid you end up eating the pasta then?
I take it you didn't go workout either?
Are you waiting to drink an hour after you eat like the rules say?
No, the pasta fell in the sink, and by the time I was done in the bathtub everything was cold. :-(
Deleteyikes! that must have been painful...hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks! me too!
DeleteI'm struggling too.... I notice nothing any different when eating either. I maintained this week after a whopping 1.75 loss over a 9 day period. I am working out and logging everything on MFP... I'm starting to get discouraged...
ReplyDeleteOk your belly looks horrid and painful
Yeah... I'm hoping the fills come faster, but I'm not due in again until the 31st!
DeleteOUCH! Do take care of that burn. Solarcain (sp?) always helps me with a burn (pain, not healing really). Take care!
ReplyDeleteI got some last night! I was doing okay, but everybody who's seen it in person gasps and then says I should go to the doctor. I'm hoping there are no scars!
