Gaining a few pounds, in the grand scheme of things, really won't matter and will fall right off when you get re-filled.

I hope the meds help, as well as the book, therapy, etc. Just don't let it make you feel guilty like it is "your fault" you are stressed, you know? I hope it gives good, useful strategies and support for coping.

Good news though because it sounds like the "plan" in place (reduce acid, work on stress, etc.) are all GOOD things. Please tell us more about the book when you are done reading it. I have a highly sensitive child and years ago someone recommended I read a book about it. It was written by someone who was highly sensitive themselves and therefore all the advice was basically arrange the world according to this child. NOT! So while I didn't agree with the book there were some nuggets of wisdom in there. She is now about to turn 11, and I'm definitely glad I didn't "create a bubble" around her!<br /><br />Cute pics of you and your son...that is crazy fun about the new "toy"! I wanna ride it too! :)Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01948575816814642269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530788691710325140.post-58715814562981854182013-05-28T09:03:48.910-07:002013-05-28T09:03:48.910-07:00What a cute kid!

I was able to eat foods that I hadn't in a while and that was wonderful, but I also felt starved most of the time. I found that exercise and coffee were my staples to keep me from losing my mind during that week. I realize 1 week does not equal 8 in your situation, but on a positive note, I did lose a small amount that week. I think you can maintain, just try not to beat yourself up and if you make poor food choices, exercise a little harder :) You will be okay. 8 weeks is a short amount of time in the span of the rest of your life!Holleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857003316936234230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530788691710325140.post-88884930325139431452013-05-28T08:36:20.655-07:002013-05-28T08:36:20.655-07:00I think you can do this!

Go...I love his haircut - those spikes are awesome!<br /><br />Good luck on the next 8 weeks. I think focusing on your stress level and trying to work through that can bring nothing but good things for you. That book also sounds interesting (though of course I don't think people are responsible for giving themselves cancer!) and I hope you take away some good stuff.Run, Chelle, Run!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10775497958512142768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530788691710325140.post-26573563527648537582013-05-28T07:02:21.633-07:002013-05-28T07:02:21.633-07:00Don't feel bad if you are hungrier more often ...Don't feel bad if you are hungrier more often it's a temp circumstance and not a failing on your part. My (unsolicited) advice is to go Protein crazy. If you are super hungry and need to pig out on something go wild on protein -- eat that giant grilled chicken or big piece of steak. It may be more calories than you would normally want to consume but it's good quality calories that will be good for you in the long run.
