I've got a cold and I'm hungry

I just had to have a whine about feeling slightly sick, and how it stuffs up my will power.  I have a sore throat and runny nose (we've just hit winter here), and no matter what I eat or drink, I still feel hungry. 

I know why - my body feels like I need some energy, and it thinks that cramming more food into my mouth will do the trick.  I know from experience the more I eat when I'm sick, the worse I feel, but I still feel lousy.  Anyone have any hints on how to keep the hunger pangs at bay?

where are you David? I am just out of canberra....

garlic soup .... kills colds, rehydrates, filling

Hey Sesoz :)

I'm a little further south - Melbourne - and we're really feeling it hard here - sunny days that are freezing.

I might have to get to the supermarket for some garlic soup - sounds like just what I need.

garlic, potatoes stock cube, water plus any herbs you want to add ... easy.

It is colder here - we are at 976 ish m.

Get well soon....
