after two babies and being diagnosed with depression and add, I am in serious need of a slim down. I do best with a low sugar diet with lots of veggies. the downside of medication is that the anxiety that used to rule me is lower and so it does not drive me. granted it was an unhealthy anxiety that took every bit of energy and made me paranoid at time (when i was overtired i tended to be a bit ocd). boy i sound more messed up than i feel, lol. anyway, the holidays have packed on an additional 8 pounds which might be due to the pristique kicking in. I feel rather normal with this med and I am hoping it continues to help me stay that way.
I need some way to stay motivated now that the anxiety isn't pushing me. I guess it has always been back there shoving me along because i cannot seem to figure out how ot motivate without anxiety... hope someone can give me some pointers on that. i want to do this in a positive way without beating myself up but what really gets me is seeing pictures of what i look like now and I am always surprised.
Well, I'm glad I found this site. I'm ready to feel better.
Happy in NC
