I still have wine but way less. I used to crave sweets more when I had wine so the connection in our brains is apparently quite different LOL.

Welcome to Thursday. Today is injection day - good thing because I was really hungry yesterday. I ate about twice as much as I have been eating for a while at dinner. I weigh tomorrow- not expecting much change.
Today is somewhat lower key than most days over the last 2 weeks. The Epilepsy Foundation is picking up about 25 bags of clothes. We need to pack the car with stuff to go to DH's house which he will drop off after golf tomorrow. Possible other tasks are hanging the new screen door which I finished putting polyurethane on yesterday and straightening the garage which became the staging area for junk, donations and the like since I scoured it previously.
Eldest DD will be here in a couple of hours for a few days. She is working on putting the house she inherited from her Aunt on the market in the next couple of weeks. Very different prep there - her Aunt was a hoarder, not of junk but brand new items she never used. She was a QVC addict apparently. DD hired professional sorters to go through it all - they were amazed to find a twin bed in the spare bedroom hidden under all the stuff. In all likelihood whoever buys it will tear down the house and build a new one as it is in rough shape, but on the water. So a totally different market than for my home.
DH and I go off-Cape (how is that for a Cape Cod-ism?) in the late afternoon to meet his sisters for dinner.
Winding down on our days here prior to moving ourselves to DH's home while the house is on the market. Time to get the bags of clothing to the curb. Have a thalassic Thursday!

Greetings
late iPad check in. I had gallery duty and it was busy. Lots going on including lease renewal. Dog got pills today and we continue to feed upon the carcas of the Costco chicken. Did my walking at gallery and sold quite a bit. Our lease is up for renewal so I am on that. More tomorrow

Oh, I wish for the lack of sweets cravings! But I'm wondering, are you still drinking wine or the occasional ****tail? When I drank alcohol, I never ever craved sweets.
AMEN to that! I fry my eggs in real butter, eat beef, use mayo and use full fat greek yogurt. It's much more satisfying. To go low carb and low fat is to invite your body to set off alarms of EAT! If one does low fat, you have to be willing to go high carb. If you're going to go low carb, you have to be willing to go high fat. It's biology 101!
Everyone responds differently and we definitely build a tolerance over time. I wonder what it will be like in maintenance mode.

I definitely have an appetite, but get filled up much quicker. Though I had much less appetite in the beginning than I do lately. I have cravings like Peps for specific things, like hummus for instance. But cravings for sweets are almost non-existent.

Good thing Sadie has such a good Mom!

It helps a little with volume, but I can still finish what is in front of me, though I do have more self-control than before the medication. I can reason with myself that it's okay to stop. I do think being on the meds is better than not being on them, but at this point it's starting to feel like an eye test where you're never quite sure of the right answer: "is one better or two?" um...one? No, maybe two... I'm sure if I went off them completely I would definitely be able to see again that this feels better than without! But maybe I've gotten so used to being on it that I'm forgetting how bad it was before? I have medication privilege!
