Horray For Medication

No, I haven't given up losing weight, I'm still at it. Life got pretty hectic, but there have been some positive developtments. I read one of Bob Greene's books-well, no I read SOME of one of Bob Greene's books. I love reading in general, but reading self-help books is boring and I refuse endure longer than I have to. Anyhow, Bob made a great point in the part I read. He said that lasting weight loss will not likely happen till the weightlossee (me, in this case) deals with WHY she over eats/stress eats/whatever. This actually made sense to me. I do have stress issues and I do have a long buried memory of being bad touched by a neighbor so I thought it'd be good to get these things figured out anyways. I'm not an idiot, I KNOW what I should and shouldn't eat and I KNOW about portions but I just kept making the wrong choices for whatever reason. I started seeing a therapist and Doug, my doctor, put me on Wellbutrin. I have to say, it's nice not feeling so on edge all the time. It's easier to fight food temptation when I'm not all agro. So far I'm down eight pounds, this is without much exercise since I've been too busy to get to the gym, so I'm excited to see what happens when I go whole hog (no pun intended). I know I'm a looong way from the finish line and this is taking way longer and is much more complicated than I thought but I'm making progress. And maybe I'll be a little thinner AND more sane in the end. Naturally, I'll probably still be a dork, but I'm OK with that.
