142.6.

The last thing on my mind this week has been fat. I gained at least 3 lbs of water while I was sitting at my desk last Friday afternoon. Realized I hadn't gotten up for a long time, stood up, legs felt like stuffed sausages. It was the worst on Monday-Tuesday, and it stayed until Wednesday. For several days it was so bad my sandals were digging into my feet.

I don't know why it was so bad. I was actually wondering if having the Depakote out of my system was having a bizarre effect on me. A hormone swing might explain some of it, but not the severity or duration. There was nothing unusually salty about the food I was eating, and once it started I made an effort to avoid salty foods.

And I don't know what to do about it. I kept my feet elevated but that didn't seem to help. I don't want to take diuretics but I have no idea what else to do.

Anyway. I'm leaving on Sunday to visit my parents for a week, and their low-carb diet usually leaves me hungry and losing weight, or not gaining at the very least. So we'll see how things go.
