I think I’ve lost a friend…a friend named Overeating.

I have been increased to a dosage of 400mg of provigil in the morning. As a result, I am much perkier, have gotten a lot more accomplished during the day, and my house is getting cleaner. I am not late for work at all and…I have no appetite.

I keep a box of cereal next to the computer, for late night snacking. Haven’t touched it since before they upped my dose.  I have to watch my portion sizes now, or I will be miserable all day long.

Also, I am used to making a certain amount of food for my lunches. No more. I made a can of chicken rice soup (lo-so of course), a can of frenched green beans (no-so) and popped open a can of pineapple chunks. I had maybe 5 bites of both the green beans & 5 bites of the pineapple. That was it.  Today we had a taco food day @ work. I ate one plate of chicken nachos. That was it.

This is going to force me not to be a stress eater. I won’t be able to eat my emotions. I won’t be able to comfort myself with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. I won’t be able to come home from a hard day & lose myself in a bowl of hot pasta with red sauce.

I am going to have to work very very hard to try to keep to the smaller portions more often throughout the day and stick hard to the DASH principles.

It’s the end of an era, and I’m not sad. I don’t know what the future holds, but goodbye, Overeating.  You were always there for me, but our relationship was not a healthy one. Food & I get along great, I am willing to try anything, and I know you loved how adventurous I was. But now that the sleep apnea is all but gone you have no place in my life, Overeating. Goodbye.
