Week Two

Today starts week 2 of my Contrave experience.  I'm a little nervous.  Today I add in a second evenng pill.  This is what I know I need.  I'm doing ok during the day, but honestly, I'm a little off in the evening and I do tend to eat a little more than I would like.  I hope to see it help.  So far, I think this drug does work as an appetite suppressant.  If I can get my evening under control, I think it may really be the tool I need.  i did lose a little weight last week but not as much as I had hoped.  However, I also had the birthday of my youngest daughter.  That meant cake on her birthday and then at her party yesterday.  So, there were some unhealthy choices in there.  This week should be better.  I hope! We shall see.
Also, lets hope I can keep the nausea under control.  I really don't want to puke a soccer.  That wouldn't be kosher with the other parents sitting on the sidelines.  So, I'll be sure to keep my mint on me at all times, and hope for the best.

Sooo.........

So, I'm still here, and still fat.  It's a fact.  I've gained a lost probably 100 pounds or so since we last spoke.  Why, because that's what we do.  It is.  I wish is wasn't.

The Wagon

You see that wagon over there? Well that would be the wagon I fell off. It was a long hard fall, and it hurt. No. I suppose the fall itself felt pretty good. It meant I got to eat crap. It was the landing when I weighed this morning that hurt. So, I'm climbing back on the morning. I have a lot of ground to make up for that fall. Ick. Sometimes it is worth it, though.
