A couple of days ago, I sat down in a folding chair at Walmart. I want a nice folding chair for my computer area; the wood folding chair wobbles when the my cat jumps on it to groom herself. I don't want her to fall; and this chair looked perfect.
Here it is:
I took one out of the bin, unfolded it, and sat down. Imagine my horror as the chair broke underneath me. The shock and profound humiliation as I tried to haul my fat self off the floor. Ron kept asking me "What? What?" [facepalm] I told him the chair broke. He didn't ask why, which may be the saddest line of all.
I would have been happy to pay for the chair if it had a tag with a weight limit. They had nothing, just a UPC code. Last I checked (a week or two ago) I was 240. That shouldn't be a chair breaker, I'd think.
Things are also more difficult in the shower. I hate the shower now. That's all I will say.
Clothes, even the fat clothes, are getting a little tight. Ugh.
Time to low carb again. I don't want my doctor freaking out when I go in for my checkup. I want to stop this train and get off.
The big question, of course, can I lose weight on my cocktail?
Lithium: demonstrated weight gain. Dr Atkins advised patients to go off the lithium if at all possible.
Haldol: clinically proven weight gain.
Wellbutrin: linked to weight loss, but controversial.
Depakote: clinically proven weight gain.
I don't have the energy I used to have; but God reminded me working out when manic is better than not working out at all. I can certainly do something for 20-30 minutes most mornings.
I hope. I do know the snacking has got to end. Quick meals will have to get smarter and lower carb.
I can't go on like this. They don't make tandem wheelchairs.
