I started going to a nutrition class at my psychiatrist's office last week. I went again today and after had a private 1-hour session with the nutritionist. She asked me what I eat every day. Bottom line is I'm not eating enough. My body is in starvation mode and saving all the calories as fat and using my muscles for energy instead of fat. It's storing what I do eat as more fat hence the 30 pounds Ive put on lately. She said I need regular meals and she gave me times to eat based on when I get up and go to sleep. I told her I'm not hungry at all and she said that's part of the starvation. Eating more will bring back my appetite. So I just went to the grocery store and got a variety of foods without getting junk food. We're supposed to have an ice storm with 1-3 inches of snow. I hope we don't lose power! The power company has been running radio ads saying they're upgrading the infrastructure aiming for faster turnaround times when the power does go out. Tomorrow I'll be staying in. I wonder if the storm will affect choir rehearsal tomorrow evening.

The doctor I saw said I feel fluish because I'm having withdrawal from my psych meds. But I restarted them last night and this morning so I don't know. Now that I just ate real food I feel somewhat better. We'll have to see how I feel as the days progress.
