So my current weight is 151.4, so I am still losing. I feel a little frustrated though because I thought if I lost over 10 pounds, it would show more. People are noticing that I am losing weight, but I still fit into my fat clothes. (I can wear my old size 9s though from before Devon was born, which is something positive.) I was just hoping that the weight loss would be a little more dramatic, but I have still got 18.5 pounds to go. Maybe that will add a dramatic flourish...
Health update: I went to the doctor, and I was having panic attacks... which is good to know. Now I am on a low dose of Selexa and meeting with a counselor a few times to try to find better ways to manage stress. A surprising side effect of the Selexa (besides the drowsiness) is that it totally curbs my appetite, or maybe the stress and depression were causing me to eat emotionally, but now I am back to my old appetite-- small meals and small snacks-- without feeling like I am starving to death in between. I was a little nervous about the med because it could have gone the other way and caused me to gain weight, but the return of my old appetite is nice. So, Operation Starvin Marvin should stay on track.
