about three weeks ago I started Jardiance and Ritalin (simultaneously, by coincidence). I was ten pounds heavier, and that's been my average for a decade.
the last time I saw 185 was nine years ago when I had pneumonia. (before that my average had been twenty pounds heavier.)
the time before was 2007. I made it to 159 before admitting that I was dangerously anorexic. (couldn't pour from a full gallon jug without spilling. blacked out a little every time I stood up.)
and the only time prior, when I weighed 175 in 99/00, I was in college and doing two solid hours of dance and/or tae kwon do every weekday because I was still capable of sustained exertion.
so seeing this weight, while healthy modulo my current long-term disabilities, is literally unprecedented. and it's probably not done dropping? if it goes 10 more pounds without clearly slowing I'll check in with my doctor, but considering my college weight it does seem likely this is just my blood sugar finally being where it should be, plus the ritalin making me less likely to keep eating because that's what I was already doing, or using flavor as a stim. so like... hell yeah?!
