The Prodigal Son (Daughter!) Returns
Hello Bama Board. I have returned AGAIN, if you will let me.
So much has been going on.
I had my annual visit with our WONDERFUL Dr. DeWitt last week. I have gained 32 pounds since my lowest weight after surgery (137)...of course, that was too low a weight for me - 147 is just right, so 22 pounds. Most of it has been in the last 18 months because I havent exercised, hubs stroke, emotional eating, stress eating, drinking while eating, drinking soda (diet), eating too many carbs. I can go on and on.....Also the combo of Lexapro and Wellbutrin MAY have contributed to it.....I blame it on sitting on my fat azz~
Anyway, Dr. DeWitt as usual wouldnt fuss. He said that I was still WAY ahead of the game, which is correct. I asked him for a double shot of B-12 and a good swift kick in the ---! I got the B-12 - dont think it was a double (2cc).....Had it Wednesday and about Friday afternoon, I felt SO much better! I am going to get my local doc to prescribe it for me and I am going to learn to give myself shots......I have also read that B-12 deficiency can cause depression. I have lethargy too....
I am eating better already. Havent had a soda today - already has 12 oz coffee and 48 oz water with protein powder. Stopped drinking at 11AM and am eating a 240c/24g Protein South Beach.
Cant go to the gym this evening cause I go with Chuck so he can bowl, cant go tommorrow night cause I go see my "therapist", but I will get there this week.
Read an article last night about "the sky is falling personalities" and that is what I am. Worried about finances, since I am the only one in my family working, debts, keeping your head above water and I am finally coming to the conclusion that I cannot continue to worry about everything....If I dont take care of myself and something happens to me, someone else will have to worry about everything.....ONE DAY AT A TIME..
Ya think ONE B-12 shot did all this????????????
