but after looking at everything, I can't be angry. I was looking for some kind of instant result and wasn't seeing any.

I need to start acting more mature, and understand that this does need to be a change in my life that I can't just toss away when I throw a fit, or get upset.

Thank you for reaching out to give me advice, or your opinions on my outlook. I am going to do everything within my power to change and achieve the life I know I deserve.

One of the main reasons I stopped taking my medication for ADHD was because it hindered my appetite so much so that if I ran out (and I have no insurance, so I have no way of getting a refill), I'd gain all the weight back. I find it's much easier to learn more self control and rewire my brain, as crazy as that sounds.

Then again, once I start working again I might just need my meds, lol:p We'll see.

Anyway, you can definitely do anything you put your mind to. For the first two and a half weeks or so, I didn't see any progress at all. Then on the third week, BAM. I was noticing the number on the scale go down, and my measurements were different, etc. It just takes some time, effort, and lots of tweaking to see what effects you.

You'll get where you want to be. :smug:
