Magic Drugs

Well, after my appointment this past Thursday, I was able to start a new drug! I told the doctor that all I could think about was food. Everywhere I looked-FOOD. So, he prescribed me a new drug and said, "you'll actually look at food and say, yuck, I don't want that and you are going to feeling a big increase in energy". I smiled at him and nodded trying to keep my happy face on. I was really thinking, "WHATEVER-there is no drug in this world that could keep me from eating and thinking about food!"

I got home and Googled my drug. Some side effects I could have are dizziness, insomnia, increased heart rate, dry mouth, etc.... blah blah blah-we've all heard that before. I was concerned about the insomnia part of things. Now that Mitch is home every night, I have had trouble sleeping again. Poor Mitchy always gets the short end of the stick in my blogs, but it has to be said. He snores!!! He doesn't just snore (and blame it on Pork Chop) but he is so loud! I describe it to people the same way every time - Mitch's snoring is so bad he can guide ships in from the deep sea through a dense fog.

So Saturday morning came and I took the pill at about 530am in the morning. That way, I could sleep a few hours through any adjustment period. The next thing I knew I had to call my friend in the afternoon and explain how this little white pill with blue dots is the best thing since sliced bread! It was Saturday afternoon and I realized...I haven't thought about food all day. It never even crossed my mind one bit-not even one craving! I couldn't believe it. My mother tells me that this drug is serious and that people get addicted (as she is saying this I am rolling my eyes at her through the phone) and I shouldn't admit to taking this drug and a few other things I think I blocked out. Well people.... I LOVE THIS DRUG. I've been on it since Saturday and I haven't even had to get into the pickles. Infact, I made a salad yesterday, and forgot it was on the counter. I have been around hotdogs, Schwans, cookies, donuts-all things carbs and sugar and I didn't go to the dark side at all!!!

Moving on...... So it is Monday morning, two days of drugs, feeding horses, cleaning stalls, sweating and doing everything by the book, I thought I was GOLDEN for a 2-3 pound loss over the weekend. On Friday I was -11 ... Monday I was -11. WTF ???? I was so upset. All that work and sweat and I lost nothing! Today looked a little brighter and I was at -12. Finally, I lost that one pound from the weekend!!!
