I stopped taking the diet pills yesterday. I did not feel like they did a whole lot for me. My mouth felt like cotton and I felt edgy and needed to control that. I know I talked more than usual. I woke up in the early hours of the morning and could not get back to sleep. I lost seven to nine pounds in the four weeks I took the pills. I found out what I knew...if I stick to the food plan, I loose weight. If I compulsively over eat or stress eat or in general make poor food choices I don't or even gain. My doctor now wants me to take an anti depressant that just so happens to have "loss of appetite" as a side effect. Bob and I both laughed and that being her go to response because drugs always seem to be her go to. I am not sure I need an anti depressant. My life is hard sometimes. I have more ups and downs than I think is average, but I would not really know. I get melancholy when things are not going well for one of my boys and because they are on the Autism Spectrum that happens on a regular basis. I think I am situationally depressed as apposed to clinically depressed. When the situation changes, my mood changes. Is there a pill for that?
I weighed in at 267 in my light pjs this morning. I am going to try and stick to the food plan today and make tuna stuffed tomatoes (or bell peppers). I will eat a healthy breakfast, take a snack to work, drink a lot of water. I am fighting a cold, but if work doesn't take all my energy, I will work out this afternoon. That is really all I can do right now. All I can do is try to eat right for the right reasons. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
