Hallelujah!

OK I shared my struggles the other day on Mirena and Lexapro causing weight gain.  I stopped taking Lexapro last Friday.  I started wellbutrin Monday.

I want you to know, it has taken my appetite away.  I do not have that "obsession" that the lexapro caused making me want something to eat all the time.  I have dropped five pounds since Monday, not only that, I got back down to the 120s.  I broke through and weighed in at 129.8.  And, it was easy.  I didn't find myself struggling and beating myself up, and feeling like a failure.  

PLEASE be aware of your body.  Record your weight, record health events.  They are very important.  Talk to your doctor.  Research your meds.

I FEEL SO HAPPY TODAY! 

Thanks Susan. There is still that fear imbedded within that says "What if I gain it back?" And, while some may say "That's a terrible fear to live with."  I would say that it does keep me honest, it does keep me in check and striving, pushing to do good.  

I have come to realize, I used to think I knew what I was doing.  I thought I would not gain it back. Now, I realize we are all the same. We all have struggles. And, some might not admit them.  I have to admit mine.  I have to talk about them. For otherwise, it keeps me in a prison to keep them shut up inside me and suffering in silence.
