I'm doing 12 things
I have cut out all the sara lee apple or mixed berry pie with a half gallon of ice cream in one sittng. I have cut out eating a full box of kelloggs berry crunch cereal with a half gallon of milk in one sittting. My problem was and is portion control.
I started Wellbutrin for depression 2 weeks ago and since the first day, I stopped binge eating. Wellbutrin is also prescribed as a smoking cessation treatment and now it is being tested for for being marketed as a weight loss medication. I can tell you that it IS the miracle pill. All the celebrities that have lost weight, Valerie bertinelli, Marie Osmond, etc, I would bet ALL the money that I have that they are on Wellbutrin. And its BECAUSE of the Wellbutrin that they now eat healthy balanced meals. I was and (still am, if I stop the Wellbutrin) a junk food sugar addict. I would eat and eat and EAT, until I was in pain and then wait for 15 minutes eat again, until I would just pass out from the sugar content I guess. Day 1 of Wellbutrin, I was eating whole wheat pita with/balsamic salad dressing/carrots/radishes/tomatos/and alfalfa. And only one sandwich not 5 of them. Wellbutrin also is doing a great job at treating my depression. Before I was so hopeless and sad, and now I am hopeful about my future and able to handle returning phone calls/paying bills/dealing with daily stresses much better. I tried Lexapro a few years ago, its an antidepressant also but will make you eat and eat and eat, and also induce manic behaviour, and didnt take away my depressionl. Wellbutrin(or buprionon) just makes me feel normal, minus the overwhelming anxiety and depression. So far the only side effect is that I don’t have a ravenous appetite. so its a great side effect.

How I did it: I have completed a major part of the process of changing my name. Legal Zoom did not service the county in Florida where I live, so I contacted the county clerk of courts. They had a self service center and they sell a packet of forms including blank fingerprint card, all for only $10. I could have filled it out in a day but it took me about a week because I agonized over whether I absolutely wanted the names I had chose… Read how I did it…
I can never remember doctors appointments because they are usually so far in the future that I forget when they are. I also always intend to write it on a calender, but either I can’t remember to write the date and time on the calendoer, or, if I do remember to write in the calender then I either a) forget to look a the calender or b) forget where I put the calender.
I live in Florida and desperately want to move to Detroit. I’m going next week to interview for nursing jobs
