geekchickI feel almost human again. I'm glad the mood has improved (how can I not be happy after listening to a bluegrass version of "Calling Dr. Love"?), but I'm getting tired of the mood swings. I guess I've discovered that I can't totally skip the SAM-e, although I may try to taper down again to see if that makes things less volatile. I'm not sure how I feel about the SAM-e thing, to be honest. I don't think there's anything at all wrong with needing some help with a chemical imbalance, but I didn't realize how utterly dependent on it I am right now. Some of that fragility may be due to the fact that coming up at the end of the week is the trip to Japan which I wasn't able to take for reasons I won't get into here, and I'm honestly very sad that I won't be able to spend the 20th with Brian as we were hoping.
Today was day two of slimfast for lunch and a mile walk afterwards; I was a little taken aback to realize that I really am 40 pounds above where I would like to be, but at least that might be the kick that I needed to actually try to do something about it.

Date: 2003-05-13 10:58 pm (UTC)Good luck with the slimfast... although when I've used the stuff, I've cheated by also eating a 100 cal. cheese stick (the protein keeps me from feeling hungry later in the day).
(hug) and I'm gratified that your mood improved this evening ;-).

That's not so much cheating, as you're supposed to have *something* else during the day. I tend to have a handful of peanuts in mid-afternoon to keep from feeling so hungry. I lost 35 lbs in three months with this stuff several years ago, but part of that was because I also cut out about 1000 calories a day by switching from regular coke to diet; I don't have that extra boost this time. I don't think it's good for long-term weight loss, but I find it easier to keep going with these things if I can see some quick results and then ease into something more sustainable.

Date: 2003-05-14 11:56 am (UTC)I've got a cover of that song done by The Cruxshadows. (Or was it Bella Morte? One of the two, and I don't have it here to double check.)

A New Found Glory also did a cover which is probably the one he was thinking of (I have this one also).
