A new and mildly concerning wrinkle has developed with the weight loss drugs.
The appetite suppressant feature is really working. I have so little interest in food lately that I wake up and then eat nothing until (let’s check the time) three in the afternoon. I lost my inclination to cook and chop, of course, last month. But at least I could make myself heat up soup. Or make cereal. Tuesday I had an omelet at work. Then the last two days I ate entire meals of nothing but microwaved Lima beans I’d made last weekend.
Next step? I figured I’d be chewing on cold Lima beans today. But no. The next step came at four o’clock. My choices were to get non-Lima bean protein via 1) shopping for it or 2) having it delivered.
So I splurged and had it delivered, because only one food held any interest for me: 20 chicken wings from the barbecue place. Is it healthy? No. Plus, I only ate two chicken wings before I tapped out.
So to cut this cycle of not eating = no calories = no energy = not cooking = not eating, I might have to ask Gary to make EXTRA FOR ME the next time he makes his food. And then to arrange a plate and then spoon the food into my mouth because I can’t be bothered.

Dr. Pradip Jamnadas thinks that we are created to feast and fast. What do you think?
Patricia (Hi Patricia) – I think I think that the people who succeed with fasting succeed because they are biologically capable of fasting. Other people just cannot fast without feeling they will die. I remember having temporary diabetes while on steroids and it made me understand how hard portion control is when your body is convinced you are going to lose consciousness if you don’t eat something now. So maybe it’s a correlation, or it just works for some people?
