Then my taste went
The day after my smell went, my taste went. You don’t realize how much this will affect you, but it turns out that being able to taste your food plays a big role in feeling satiated after a meal. You just don’t feel motivated to eat if you can’t taste your food. I would make plates of food, just sort of eyeballing it and thinking, “I guess this is the amount I should have?” and then force myself to eat it. But cutting and chewing and swallowing a whole meal when you don’t taste a single thing is really frustrating. I dropped about eight pounds throughout this process. That weight loss happened within one week. I’m not someone who could afford to lose weight to begin with so, I started to look scary.
