I am very pleased with myself. After actually sticking to my fruit, veggies, lean protein diet I have done away with 20 lbs. I am planning to lose another considerable amount before my birthday (Dec 4th). Very encouraging and uplifting. Not to mention the comments from hubbie, family and friends are quite nice too.
Friday marks 2 months (again) in recovery. *Go Me* I am feeling very proud about that as well and do not have plans to go back to that destructive way of life. It seems as though my meds (a mood stabilizer -and- Campral for cravings) are working quite well. No cravings and if I do think about drinking it's quickly followed by the thought "Ugh, that's so much work, then I'd have to lie, and sneak and couldn't snuggle or kiss and I'd be tired for work...". SO, it seems the drugs are doing what they're supposed to. Besides, I feel very happy so why self medicate? If it ain't broke, don't fix it right?
In general life is good right now. Marriage, Kid, Home, Work..... (and working on) SELF.
