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.

Zen, I just posted a fascinating, validating, and kind of depressing article about losing weight on fb.

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.

That's f'ed up, Dana

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.

Tim saw the recipe on the tab and was like "I'm going to the grocery store for Dad tonight; what do I need to buy so you can make that cake?" THE MAN I MARRIED IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA.

But there will be cake.
