It could just be me, but your legs look smaller as well!

I can also tell in the side view. Awesome lady!!

The last time I went off of it, I weaned myself from taking one every other day to three times a week and so on until I was off of it. I was off of it for a month and then I got pregnant and I had no anxiety while pregnant. Since I've been on it now for almost 5 years I think this time will be harder to wean myself. I was…

Breakfast: I wasn't hungry so a unsweet tea from McDonalds Lunch: Work meeting/lunch at a mexican restaurant beef taco salad without the shell Supper: TBD (probably the same Mexican restaurant since my husband loves their food and was planning on taking me for dinner tonight)

bahahaha.... :p

I was having a rough night last night and just wanted to cave in and eat my comfort food. My mom made us dinner and I wanted a drumstick (ice cream cone)....I told her to give me one to go because it was time to go home. Well I forgot and thankfully so did she. She texted me when I got home and said did you forget your ice…

Another reason why I need a blender!

For those who use the protein powder, what do you mix them with?

Same here actually. I told my PCP that I thought I was bipolar. He put in a referral to a psychiatrist just waiting for a phone call. But I would love to not have to take "man made" drugs if I can help it.

I'll have to look in to that one as well!!! I just refilled my Effexor too. Ugh. At least it's only $4. I've been struggling with anxiety/depression/OCD for years. And I hate it! Especially when I have (I like how you said) mental hiccups!

I really think my OB would be supportive. He is more "laid back" and doesn't care if you eat deli meat while pregnant or cheese sauce from Mexican restaurants. So I think he would be okay with low carb. I'm hoping when we start trying (Aug-Sept) I'll have enough common sense and have this WOE down that I won't eat too many…

Oh and I got a unsweet tea with AS from McDonald's. Not near as shaky now and I feel better!

So I've been doing some research this morning. I think at some point I'm going to order SAM-e and GABA. They are all natural and have been proven to help with anxiety. They are more expensive than my Effexor but if they are natural and help me I'm willing to try them.

I can only hope when I get pregnant my OB is wise like yours!!

How do I calculate my body fat?? Are you doing it with a professional or yourself?

I've been on Effexor for almost 5 years at the same dosage. I have yet to take the emergency drug because they have not been full blown panic attacks yet. I'll have to do some research on the other supplements. I never thought of doing that. I actually have a referral in to see a psychiatrist and have yet to get a phone…

I don't think that is the issue. I don't think of bread and pasta anymore. Sweets is still my big thing. I haven't found one I like yet and being TOM I want all the sweets. I wish I would have documented when it happened last time. Maybe it is just a hormonal thing. I'll document it this time and then see what happens next…

I take Effexor daily at the lowest dosage. I've tried to up it (per dr order) and I had awful side effects with it. I was prescribed an "emergency drug" for my anxiety a couple of weeks ago. I just feel like it's gotten worse since I started this WOE. But I love it and don't want to stop doing it because I love the results…

Whoops. I don't know if it's coupled with that and the awful weekend I had or what.

My coworker has diabetes and I've asked him before to check it when I was having these symptoms and it was 86. I've been trying to get lower my AS and not drink caffeine. I don't kn

You just made me very hungry.

Wow. See another reason why I'm glad I have you ladies. Looks like I won't be eating this anymore! Time to find another "sweet" treat!

We failed. Haha. My husband didn't get cauliflower and I was to hungry to worry about it. So I just had broccoli and cheese. I need to try it again.

My lab results were good the last time I got them down in January for a wellness thing at work. I get them redone in June. I'm very curious to see what they say.

Goal weight

Well someone's scale is lying...I was 184 yesterday on the scale work. Today at home (no clothes) I was 180.8..

I despise TRX....

I'm no help, I just had boiled eggs and sausage links and it hit the spot!

My mother in law is cooking lunch. She said turkey, mac n cheese, party potatoes, green bean casserole, pickles and deviled eggs. I'm bringing seven layer salad and dirt pudding (i'll try to not indulge too much). At my aunts for the evening it will be similar food. I am going to TRY and limit myself on the sweets. But…

I miss pregnancy too...I keep telling my husband can I get pregnant yet! I was thinking about mixing it with some cream cheese too...and maybe add some dark chocolate shavings to the top...yumm....
