I'm doing OK. I saw the pdoc today. He did not weigh me. Maybe he thought I looked halfway human? IDK, 5 lb. plus or minus goes a long way with a small frame. I have gained, though probably 5 lb. total over the last month, month & a half.
I've been finding it harder & harder not to exercise. I've run a lot this week, though not today because it was raining this morning and then I had the pdoc appt.
Had a strange lack of appetite last week, but am pretty much back to normal this week.
Pdoc took me off Wellbutrin; I had been having issues with forgetfulness, which he feels is either caused by the Wellbutrin or the Clonidine. I did have forgetfulness problems on Wellbutrin in grad school though (while not on Clonidine), so that has led him to trying that one first. He upped the Adderall as I am not concentrating well, and apparently was not even paying much attention to his questions he told me when he told me he let me know he was raising the Adderall. Though it could have been bipolar racing thoughts/mania or brain fog from fibro, I think now. But we'll see.
I go back to see him in 2 weeks. I have to have him not hit me with a surprise weigh-in then as I know he still would be very unhappy with my BMI should it not change much from now.
The holidays are around the corner, and they are so hard for me. There's so much family garbage, weight loss stuff all over women's magazines & the TV, and food is pretty much all over the celebrations. December has not only Christmas, but my daughter's birthday too, which is Dec. 14. Not to mention the tons of singing events her school choir is doing in December.
