Yet again, I'm back on the subject of food and ansomia. I just started watching the new series of Masterchef, which like most people, I have to watch with a plate of food in front of me as it makes me so very hungry. Sadly, my student meals rarely match up to the gourmet affairs served on the programme, but it definitely got me thinking. I get hungry because I associate the visual of good looking food with the assumption that it should taste good, but the flavours of the ingredients that they're describing actually mean nothing to me. Do other people watching this programme get hungrier because they know what the dishes on Masterchef are actually supposed to taste like?
I know I haven't been updating this blog lately, but there hasn't really been any new developments in my life with ansomia and I don't want to bore you all or just use this as a place to rant about my disability.
I still haven't heard anything regarding my referral, which is a shame but I've almost sort of forgotten about it. It seems silly now, how excited I got about the medical centre sending it off to the hospital. Life just keeps going on as normal. My phantosmia is still very much apparent and I'm consistently getting the smell and taste of disinfectant and metal which has definitely taken any enjoyment out of eating lately.
On a plus side, I've realised that due to my lack of sense of smell and not sharing a room with anyone, I can keep brie in my room and it doesn't bother anyone.
