MrsTofu's Journal, 03 December 2010

It seems that up until the afternoon or dinner I do alright. After that things fall apart. I feel hungry more. More often I'm kind of edgy and just want to eat food because I enjoy how it tastes rather than actually being hungry. It's this that makes me feel discouraged. My weight has fluctuated between 152 and 158. I am not sure exactly what it is right now, though I think it's more than 152. Part of me is afraid to step on the scale and see the number either not go down, or go up a little. I think I am trying. I watch what I eat and I try to watch my portion sizes, yet all too easily it seems I exceed my calorie budget. I think what bugs me even more is hearing my live-in diet buddies tell me what their daily calorie count is. For one I think they are undershooting/ I have trouble believing the total is as low as they say it is when I see some of what they eat and I generally see them eat as much as or more than me. Yeah they are guys, so for one their calorie budget is higher and they have more muscle mass so they burn more at rest; however, we often eat the same foods and about the same amounts, so how is it that they end up being so much under their budget or even compared with my budget than me.

This is really hard right now. I feel like I'm restraining myself, but it still isn't effecting enough change. I feel more conscious of the fact that I have to tell myself no a lot, and I feel that my effort isn't helping. :( Grrrrr.

It just occurred to me what might be making things less effective right now...Wellbutrin. How did I forget that weight gain is one of the side effects. In all the years that I've been prescribed antidepressants, never have I had the side effect of loss of appetite (depression does that for me when it is more severe). Makes me wish sometimes that I had ADD/ ADHD instead so that I'd be taking amphetamines instead of SSRIs. :(
