I was on a smidge of Depakote for mood stabilization, but it's been upped from 125 to 500 mg (in stages) for migraines, not mood.
I'm not on a diet, per se. But I really can't eat any amount of carbohydrates any more because of my blood sugars. Anything more than a bit, and I fall asleep.
So, my typical breakfast is peanut butter, simply fruit jam, on low carb bread. Then a beans & rice lean cuisine for lunch with salsa added. And a smallish dinner. I've mostly given up sugar-filled drinks. In between meals, I might have some more peanut butter. Maybe a piece of wheat bread. Nothing really outlandish.
Yet my weight stays the same or creeps up. :( It's discouraging. I know I could get a jump start if I drank a lot of water, but that's just water weight. No long term benefits.
We're thinking of getting an exercise bike. I *might* exercise if I can sit and read while I do it. :)
Curves.... for some reason it sounds familiar. Is it a national chain? Is it diet or exercise?
