Where'd you learn that? Druuug school?

OK. So I said I'd never take a pill to help lose weight and I was wrong. No it's not what you might think. When I saw my doctor I asked him about Alli. I kept hearing about it and thought, "hey, what the heck". So when I saw Doug (I call my doctor by his first name, because I want to) I asked him what he thought about me starting it. I thought he'd be proud that I was willing to get on such a progressive plan. Instead he just sighned and said "Please don't, it'll just give you diarrhea". I have to admit, I was a little bummed since I'd worked it up to be my silver bullet. He went on to say that no drug will do it for me. Instead we talked about my eating which seems to lie at the center of my problem. I love working out and will go, but I can't stop eating crap! We talked about stress and the fact that I eat most when I'm stressed. And I'm always stressed. I'm a worrier. So we decided the best course of action was to address the stress. So I'm an a low dose antianxiety medication. I have to say, I'm not a fan of pills in general but after a week I have found myself to be mellower. Best of all, I'm not sneaking food. I just don't feel like it. I do sort of feel like it's taken my 'edge' but I suppose that's not a bad thing. I got cut off in traffic yesterday and the thought of following that chick, ripping her out of her seat and cutting off her hair didn't even occur to me. Weird. I'm a little tired but hopefully that side effect will wear off soon. After a break from working out with Jake we're getting back on that horse on Tuesday. Will this finally be my weight loss trifecta? Let's hope so!
