Moods ...

Oh Wow .... I was in a really bad mood last week. REALLY BAD. And most of it had to do with being on Phase One of the South Beach Diet. I HATE Phase One. But I have to be on it, because if I don't stay on it, Tom won't stay on it. And it is the only Phase of SBD which we lose weight from. Tom has lost 17 lbs in two weeks ... and up until Friday, I hadn't lost any ... but on Friday I saw a # on the scale which I haven't seen in a couple of years .... which equates to a 9 lb weight loss since September .... 3 of those on this latest attempt at SBD.

Why is it that I might not want wine for weeks on end .... but tell me I CAN'T have wine ... and suddenly I want it every night??? Bread, too. And rice.

And going to the Doctor depressed me. He didn't fuss at me about my weight ... I did that myself. I wanted to talk with him about getting off depression meds to try to help me lose weight. He said he wished he could tell me that would work ... but it has been his experience that the weight-gain from depression meds ... which is unexplained medically, BTW, does not reverse itself when one goes off the meds.

So .... I'd rather be Fat and Happy than Fat and Sad ... but the Dr thought I should add one more word .... Healthy .... and he thinks I am on the right track by working out 6 days a week and eating better. It was silly .... I was the one sitting there crying ... and he was the one trying to cheer me on ... telling me I was doing everything right. Sheesh .... I was in a bad mood!

The bad mood continued into Friday .... I canceled my workout with Brandon, partially because the pool was closed ... but also because I was just being pissy. I went and got my nails done and they took extra nice care of me .... didn't get to nap because Robbie and Olivia were here ... but we got to BJ's and everyone was there ... and having a few Reds always helps ... that pretty much broke my bad mood ...

Also found out that Robb and Di had tried Alli Diet Pills and felt they really helped Robb. So I spent yesterday researching Diet meds online and I found this site .... Get the Skinny on Diets .... so read about Alli and decided not to deal with Anal-Leakage .... read about a few others ... sounds too good to be true ... but decided to try anyway ... Nuphedrine ... and also Body Wrap ... I expedited shipping ... so hopefully I'll be able to report my results soon. I'll keep you posted on this!!
