Long Time No See!!! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

ladyamalthea · 07-12-2008, 05:19 PM

How is everyone? I've been back on the mental health forum for a few days now, but I know there are people over here that don't check that one so much, so I thought I'd say hi, and ask a quick question while I'm here.

So, those of you who are true food addicts know what I mean when I say that I'm sitting here wanting to eat. I have a plate of snacks in front of me... and for the first time in years, I don't feel like I can do it! Is that cool or what???

But here's what I'm not sure of: I just started taking Wellbutrin last night. Is it possible that the Wellbutrin is helping this along already? Or is it all in my head???

I want so bad to get back into a good eating plan, but I'm having a terrible time letting go of all the foods that I know I should not eat.

Anyways, it's good to be back

I used Wellbutrin when I quit smoking and for me, for whatever reason, it seemed to cut cravings almost immediately.

Hey, whatever the reason,
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, my mom used to say!

Shalom!

Lol...

Historyteach, I know I must look like a nut. I posted this about the same time I posted the message in mental health that was similar.

BTW, my appetite is still not what it used to be

I just wouldn't make a regular habit of sitting in front of a plate of snacks to keep testing this theory. There is an old saying "if you hang around a barber shop long enough you're going to end up with a haircut"
