minus 30

This is my first post in about two months. This has been partly out of a desire for objectivity, partly because my life has been very hectic (lots of road tripping and 1 knee surgery, and my prescription lapsed in California and I wasn't able to recover it for two weeks, which was horrible), and partly because I don't know what to say. Today however is special, because today I have lost a total of 30 pounds since I started on the Belviq.

I wanted to report because I was surprised when I weighed myself today. I hadn't been paying a whole lot of attention to watching what I eat, and I have been exercising almost literally zero since my surgery, unless you count rehab, which you shouldn't because I can barely walk. I also, had two bad weeks of not being on the pill for prescription reasons, and another two weeks pre-operatively by order of my anaesthesiologist.

But the pill, without any other devices, kept me eating sanely even when I thought I wasn't, which is a pretty strong endorsement.

I will probably give quarterly reports from now on.
