I went to the Doctor yesterday. They decided that with my lack of sleep, and lack of energy, and how I'm feeling emotionally- It's time for me to go back on meds to regulate my moods, and feelings. They prescribed my Paxil. I start that today, along with amitriptilyne (totally wrong I'm sure) to help me sleep.
I have a counseling appointment at 1:00pm. I generally see a counselor once a month. It used to be every week to 2 weeks, but I've gotten better. I have had a lot go on in my life over the last 5 years. Somethings I've been able to deal with, and others... I haven't, or still deal with now.
At the doctor, on their scale I was 214.2- So I was up .2... Today I of course weighed myself at home and the scale said 212.2- If only I could lose those 2.2. I'm still working on reaching my 5 percent goal. Its extremely slow going. They said after the first 2 weeks of this new medicine, I'll notice a difference in how I feel emotionally, and my energy level. I hope so. I hate that I have to go back on meds, but my depression is a factor is why my weight went from 167 all the way up to 228 at my highest (of course I dealt with pregnancies- miscarriages, and ectopic pregnancies- so my body gained and changed during all those phases in my life) I weighed 167 in 2007- I was wearing some size 6's but mostly size 8's and even 10's- it was really dependent upon the make and brand of clothing. I was happy then...by 2008- my gain began. I would be happy in a 10 again- even a 12.
I'm hoping things will get better in the next 2 weeks.
I'm definitely content with low carb eating. It's not even a struggle. It wasn't a struggle to get started back on it again either. Don't get me wrong. I miss fresh fruit, and bread, and my sweets sometimes, but once I get through my 14 day induction or so- we'll see what happens and where I go from there! Rounds 2 started June 19th- and I'm doing good. But my emotions are causing me to eat even when I'm not hungry.
