jeaniem · 12-30-2012, 09:45 AM

Did someone say chocolate

I stopped the wellbutrin for a couple of weeks and lost all my coping ability. My problems seemed insurmountable and had dark thoughts on the easy way out.

jeaniem · 01-04-2013, 04:52 PM

Ten days in and doing good except I am beginning to feel anxious and impatient. I don't really know what to make of this, but I do know it always happens after I do well for a while

Garden · 01-05-2013, 06:03 AM

Keep up the great work you are doing controlling your eating!

I know it's hard to stay the course. But you can do it!!!

jeaniem · 01-05-2013, 12:03 PM

Thanks Susan!

shelby'snana · 01-05-2013, 12:41 PM

You are doing so well "staying the course" jeanie !! WTG !

jeaniem · 01-06-2013, 10:20 AM

I am feeling really unmotivated and depressed today. I am back up to 150

, and have exercised and stayed on plan. I have to be really careful today.

shelby'snana · 01-06-2013, 10:24 AM

Jeanie, get out and go for a good walk ! Eat a big steak with butter on top ! Drink tons of water/tea .....and remember you can do this ! We are all here for you

(hugs)

jeaniem · 01-06-2013, 10:39 AM

Hubby and I walked 45 minutes this morning and then I did another 40 mins of a barre3 workout, this usually helps my mood, but not today. I am really wondering if I am going to have to do lower fat LC as I am 11 days in and have only just lost a little water weight and that is it. I am having hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms,so I think my metabolism has changed since I was at goal in 2010.

Garden · 01-06-2013, 10:46 AM

I felt the same way last Friday and I made myself bundle up and go for a walk in the sunshine. It made all the difference in the world to me! And I have walked for the past three days! I also joined the January Walking Thread in the Exercise Board. I know I get the winter blues when I don't get outside. I take 1000 units of D3 daily to help.

Go outside and lift your face to the sun!

(Hope it's as sunny up there as it is down here!)

shelby'snana · 01-06-2013, 11:20 AM

Yep, I don't get the winter blues, but we have such a little window of cool weather here that I want to take full advantage of it !

I had already worked out when I posted this morning, but am feeling better now. Fix- Venti Starbucks w/lots of cream

Also, today was my step up day to my full dose of wellbutrin. I hate having to take antidepressants but every time I go off of them I end up a mess.

I am going to give traditional high fat low carb another week and if no change I am going to change things up. I was looking back at my calendar from last year and see that I could easily lose about 5 lbs. in the first 2 weeks of low carb and 10+lbs. in a month.

Garden · 01-06-2013, 03:43 PM

Don't feel bad about your medication! It's a chemical imbalance that needs the meds. I was on it 15 years ago and it worked wonders for me. I still have my moments, but nothing like it used to be.

Garden · 01-07-2013, 04:20 AM

How are you doing today?

shelby'snana · 01-07-2013, 08:11 AM

We are rooting for ya !

tobelowcarber · 01-07-2013, 03:08 PM

How are you Jeanie?

jeaniem · 01-07-2013, 03:40 PM

I am hanging in there Marika! The last two days I have so far been able to avoid binges-but man the nagging thoughts/cravings are there!

Have you hit PMS yet?

shelby'snana · 01-07-2013, 03:44 PM

WTg Jeanie !! You can do this ! WE are all your little cheerleaders

tobelowcarber · 01-07-2013, 03:50 PM

Jeanie- so glad to hear you did not caved!

I think I am battling PMS right now but not having any thoughts of binging yet. Maybe I will be speared this month

I am more hungry and eating little more calories that I am supposed to on JUDD. I find UD more difficult then DD. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't reach for any carbs. I know that one bite would send me into total carb binge.

WE CAN DO IT!!!!!

jeaniem · 01-07-2013, 04:15 PM

Me now at about 145ish.

Me at my goal weight of 130 in 2010, I'd be happy to get to 135 now,I am getting too old to keep worrying about a few pounds!

Garden · 01-07-2013, 04:31 PM

Jeanie! You look great! I don't see anything wrong with your body!
But I know you want that number on the scale to move as badly as I do!
Hang in there! We will overcome the monster

!

shelby'snana · 01-07-2013, 04:50 PM

Great pics Jeanie !! You look great !

jeaniem · 01-07-2013, 05:11 PM

Thanks. I just need to be patient and take it one day at a time...

tobelowcarber · 01-08-2013, 02:25 AM

You look great in both pics!
