When I saw my GP he was concerned that I might be losing weight too fast and that could be one of the reasons I am so tired all the time.
I ran this by my T yesterday and she thought that might be the case so we discussed ways that I could still lose weight but slow it down a smidge. So she suggested that I eat more as I had been only eating about 2 times a day and that I snack on veggies and that so I wouldn't get bored she said I could dip it in dip. She also suggested fruit but I am having trouble with sweet things right now I just don't like them and that does include fruit because I have tried to eat fruit to see if I could tolerate it but found that it was just too sweet. So she told me my assignment for the week was to try a Granny Smith apple as they are tart not sweet.
Anyway today I tried to eat more often throughout the day and by golly either I'm manic or it worked. I actually got stuff done. I did my usual running errands that whether I had energy or not I would have gotten them done because these are errands that have to be done like grocery shopping, paying rent, etc. On top of that I have washed my dishes, put away said dishes, cleaned the counters, scrubbed the stove, cleaned the living room, picked up the floor in my bedroom, and did a load of laundry.
Tomorrow I plan to fold the laundry I did this week and clean the laundry room, clean off the kitchen table that has all my scrapbooking stuff on it and clean the bathroom. I also have a mound of clothes that were donated to me so I plan on going through them and deciding which to keep and which to donate. I know which I can wear and can't so just need to put in a launder and donate pile now.
If I am able to get all of tomorrow's work done my apartment aside from my desk will be clean and I will be happier. I have changed from a messy into a not so messy. It annoys me more when I let my apartment get bad but when I get depressed and tired I just don't have the energy to keep it clean and then the cycle just repeats itself.
So if I can continue to eat and keep up the energy level then maybe I can even exercise.
