So I've experienced an unwanted loss of 2 pounds because I am experiencing a side effect of a medication my dermatologist prescribed. I began taking it on July 1 and my appetite literally started to go away. Called my derm and she said it was normal and not to worry it would be a side effect that would work it's way out soon. I try not to eat mindlessly so I like to eat when I feel my body tells me to eat then I eat my self prepared meals. Well, I went a couple days with low calorie counts (thank goodness for my continued daily personal journaling showing me this fact bc otherwise I wouldn't have noticed), and then I purposely started trying to eat more during the days after...that was a disaster. It was like force feeding but in slow motion lol. I even went and purchased junk food! Yes! Junk food! Stuff I never eat in hopes that it would awaken my appetite. THIS WAS SUCH AN EPIC FAIL! Wasted money! And I do NOT like to waste money. Did not even want it! Couldn't finish it. It tasted awful! Although the hershey's cookies n creme wasn't that bad lol! Me and hershey's cookies n creme go WAY back with one another...WAAAAAY back...we're friends now though. :D I still couldn't eat all of it though which makes me clutch my pearls just thinking about it. Gave what I couldn't eat away to anyone who would take it.. I did eventually get up to eating about 1000 cals per day after that. It's been really strange eating while not hungry. It really brought me back to a time when I was obese and I would continue eating thinking I was hungry even though I had already consumed 4000+++cals, etc. They were mostly empty cals back then, but the point is that feeling of eating when the main hunger is already satiated. In this case today it's a false satiation that Im battling by eating more, but it's just been interesting to feel it from a different perspective today. Anywho, the side effects are working their way out slowly but surely and I think I will be back to my normal 1600-2000 cals per day by next week. Just had to notate this on FS bc I often forget since I have a personal journal I keep daily. It's lunchtime now...let me get to "forcefeeding" myself again LOL! #Peace&Love
