Zen, I just posted a fascinating, validating, and kind of depressing article about losing weight on fb. Laura, I wonder if you are eating just enough to dull the hunger signals. I eat every three hours or so, but I eat regular meals in addition to the snacks. Maybe I need to downsize my meals. Interesting thought.
~ma, Epic. Thinking of you.
Going well so far! B was being a bit of a mother hen, but I anticipated that and he's self-aware about it. No P sightings yet.
sj, seems like clarifying expectations can only help. You should absolutely not be the only one paying attention to her needs and schedule.
Oh! And ~ma for you and your family, too, Laura.
Laura, that's very similar to the diet I used last year (...haven't stuck to it very well/at all, so havent' lost any more weight, but haven't really gained it back either--though the slothfulness of broken foot may not help things, nor my recent torrid affair with ice cream). Lowish carb, high protein/fiber, eat every 2-3 hours around 100 calories, plus one meal of protein and veg.

Yes, it was all of those things. I keep vacillating. I should eat better. (Well, of course I should, but specifically to lose weight.) I should exercise more. No, it's more realistic that I'll eat better. No, I should just exercise. But I hear food has more effect on weight. But exercise is good for me in many ways. But but but.
And then I have a snack.
Very excited and happy to see you in the new job, smonster. The work conditions and stress is another factor with sleep and diet that makes a world of difference in our physical and mental health.
The weight loss is like a bonus, mostly I am grateful for the energy burst that I really needed. Probably a sugar regulation thing. Getting more exercise, because energy! Except last 3 days in the hospital, but even here I am the runner for food and drinks and stuff for the other family members.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures, Burrell. Love kid plays.

My energy sucks, and I *know* I eat too much sugar. Maybe I can tweak that with smaller, more frequent bits of food. I'll have to experiment with that.
(I should note that, at the same time that I'm posting about how I eat too much sugar, I have a tab open in my browser for "Easy Cinnamon Roll Cake." I AM WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA.)
Aaaand now Aetna is bumping my Wellbutrin up a tier on the stupid formulary. I already get the generic, but unless I get the generic immediate release, I'm going to have to pay more.
Maybe the immediate release will work fine for me. Who knows? I'll either have to take a chance with my mental health or just cough up the extra cash.
Edit: Don't know for sure, but it looks like my cost will go up from $40/3 months to $100/3 months.
Insurance companies are more evil than the banks, and that is some advanced level of evil. Banks screw with our money while insurance companies screw with our health. EVIL
I AM WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA.
Ha! Right there with ya.
