Finding Fitness at 50

Journey to Better Health

A heck of a dilemma

Several weeks ago I wrote about my struggle to reach my daily calorie requirement. 

Well, I’m still struggling.

Oddly, it’s a problem with which I, in 50 years, have never dealt. 

I’ve decided it’s the Metformin my doctor prescribed back in December for a pre-diabetic condition. I know … self-diagnosis isn’t a good thing. But, I spent a lot of time this past weekend reading about the drug’s side effects. And loss of appetite is one of them.

So, she’s lowered my dosage and we’ll see if that helps.

I feel good, am exercising regularly. I just don’t want to eat much of anything. And unless I eat enough, my metabolism will slow down and the weight will not continue to come off.

It’s a heck of a dilemma.
