Diet Pills

This was the first day on my diet pills, phentermine. Since I have low blood pressure and am in good health, and since I struggle with real hunger, my doctor agreed to a limited period of use to put a curb on my rising weight. I have been discussing this with him for some time now.

Although some people feel jittery or hyped with this medication, I didn't experience that at all. What I did notice is that I was not hungry all the time. I ate a reasonable breakfast, modest lunch and good dinner, and I was not hungry after eating like I usually still am. Normally, I eat what my "diet" says I should, but I am still hungry and could easily eat three times the allowed amount - and sometimes do!

Feeling satisfied after a meal is a huge boost. I feel like I can actually do this without feeling deprived all the time, then getting frustrated and mad and bingeing. My big problem is I'm afraid I will regain the weight like I always do. I'm talking to the Lord about that. Sometimes I feel like He thinks I spend far too much thought and emotional energy on my weight.

I saw my neurologist today. I see him every six months. Today's visit was brief and not nearly as exciting as previous checkups have been. Usually, he's quite an effusive fellow, dramatic and intense.

Donna and Donnie gave us a desk which I brought home today. It's still in the garage while I try to figure out how to rearrange the office so it serves for us both and is a workable place for genealogy and family history work.

I was busy all day, then went to Advanced Cognitive Workshop at Giveback. It's always a challenge and ever a blessing, but now I'm tired and ready for a restful night of slumber safe in the arms of my Lord.
