Wondering

Last week was difficult. I know I’ve skirted about the edges of my frustration about my weight. The thing is, since I started on the Wellbutrin about 16 months ago, I’ve gained 15 pounds and cannot get it off. Some of the stuff I’ve tried has been stupid enough that I haven’t written about it here. For example, the 2 weeks where I only ate every other day. I mean, hello!??! This is just nuts. I’m down to a ¼ dosage anyway, so I’ve decided to stop taking it. I’d rather be a little skittery around the edges and able to lose weight than not. Last week I pretty much reached the “why bother?” point. I mean, if I can’t lose weight, then why bother with healthy eating? That’s not a very good attitude. In any case, I never planned to stay on this stuff forever.

I got a lot of sewing done this weekend, and hub made good progress on the roof for the deck. The weather was very good, so that was nice. Due to some circumstances, we ended up not going out of town. On the one hand, I do feel bad we didn’t make it. But it was nice to be home – we were both getting pretty tired out.

I was pretty much in a sulk until I decided to stop with the medicine – it helped when I needed it, but I think the time is passed. I had a good workout yesterday and plan to start getting into better habits (again) this week. I think I needed to get to a point where I was this frustrated to take this step, even though I have known for a while of other people that have experienced similar issues with weight while taking this. I’ll keep ya posted.

I am taking Friday off. It is our 5 year wedding anniversary. Sometimes I just can’t believe it. I am a very lucky woman to have such a great husband. He’s a really good guy. We’re having a cookout with a few friends on Saturday, but overall just a quiet weekend. We’d originally planned to go out of town, but he asked if we could stay home instead. I feel a nice sushi dinner coming on…..

Have a good one!
