Sorry for delayed reply!
Thanks @CherryBomb - It just didn't make sense to be asked, as I have been on this medication since early 2012 & only started to see my current psychiatrist February last year - & in that time my weight has remained stable - give or take a little. Maybe she was worried that I was restricting to maintain my weight?? I might ring her pager next week & leave a message saying I'm paranoid about something that was said in my last session, so I can clarify it with her - or maybe I will just wait till next month. I know it is stable after all....
Yes, I went to yoga yesterday & afterwards we went an organic cafe/grocery. We had a coffee (decaf soy piccolo for me) & then brought a banana & apple each, as well as dark chocolate dairy free coated sultanas. Gosh, organic fruit tastes AMAZZZZZING - if only it was more affordable! We savoured the chocolate treat (usually have 1 chocolate treat a week) - had some on the way home (after the fruit!) & then I HID the rest until the evening!
I'm going to yoga again in a few hours - I haven't been able to sleep since 2:50, so I got up. Last week I went to yoga 5 times! This week it will be 4 times + a pilates class for a change!
Thinking of you too @Jacques - what are you feeling the same way about?? Money stress? Overwhelmed with anxiety?? I'm sorry to hear about the flooding & the effect on the farmers. Here we need more rain & we have got a bit lately thankfully... Hugs & sending you strength
Even more hugs @Shaz51
I hope people are having a good or "okay" (or even WONDERFUL) weekend!
Sending strength to those that are struggling.....
Namaste,
Anna

Hope things improve for you soon @Jacques.....
I feel really low due to lack of adequate sleep, being triggered more than usual by 'the alcoholic' today (I'm skipping a shower tonight - can't take any more today...) & I guess the exhaustion of anxiety about everything... *sigh* My yoga practice was good today though.... @NikNik thanks for the mention last week letting me know you are still going to yoga - I'm so glad to hear (or read!)
I see my psychologist tomorrow.... At the moment I feel too exhausted for the 3 hour round trip & 1 hour session - Hopefully I sleep well tonight - I'm so anxious I can't even nap..
Hugs, hugs, hugs all!
Namaste,
Anna

Will be having chicken snitzchel and veges plus stewed apricots and icecream and a small glass of wine.
Should be having a side salad but ran out of time to go shopping for salads. Hope each forum member has a good evening and equally good weekend. Cheers from Bimby2
