My 3 month pics & my 31st anniversary
Ok, so I posted my 3 month pictures on my profile--what do you think?
Today is hubby & my 31st wedding anniversary. We went to Red Lobster for dinner. I ate much more than I have been lately, but still did quite well. I ate one bite of a cheddar bay biscuit. It was good, but one bite satisfied me. I'm not a real seafood lover (hubby loves it) so I was going to order just the NY strip steak. Hubby reminded me that the last time we went to dinner (at a different restaraunt) that the steak was overcooked & I couldn't chew it well enough. So, I got steak & lobster. I took one bite of salad and that was enough. I cut one strip from the middle of the steak & cut it into little pieces. It was delicious!!! Then I ate about 1/4 of the lobster. I also ate about 3/4 of the potato. That's way more carbs than I usually eat, but hey, it was our anniversary. Hubby says if I added everything up it probably doesn't add up to more than 3 ounces, but boy it sure seemed like alot of food. I brought home the rest of the steak and will probably make steak burritos tomorrow. Hubby ate the rest of the lobster. I really enjoyed dinner & didn't feeling like I was missing out on anything.
I am right there with you about popping pills ... I don't even like taking VITAMINS (but I do). In fact, the doc had given me three little sample bottles of Wellbutrin (one week each bottle), and they sat on the counter for almost two months and every day I would yell at them and say, "I can do this without you. I can do this without you!"
Well, when all this started affecting my job (brain fog, couldn't pull thoughts together, couldn't even pull 8 words together, couldn't comprehend or make sense out of things, lack of concentration, confusion), I knew I had to do something. So I relented and started the ADs. Hopefully I won't have to be on them very long. I have noticed that I'm able to pull together words, even sentences, and it has helped my concentration a bit. I do still think we need to tweak a little, but at least I have seen some sign of improvement.
I'm here for you if you need to talk, vent, get it out ... I know where you're coming from ... sometimes when I "crash" in the evenings (I think because of the time-release dosage), it's almost like I "panic" ... and I just need someone to talk to ... doesn't even have to be about anything ... just need to talk or listen or whatever.
Hang in there ...
