256.8!

So...sorry it's taken me so stinking long to update this bad boy but things have been crazy (needless to say) so I haven't had a whole ton of time. Last week went well...I officially withdrew from Winter Semester 2009. GREAT! It sucks on the one hand, but on the other, it's great for me! I had a viable medical reason for the crappy grades I had, and it's the best decision I could make under the circumstances. I ended up going to the doctor Wednesday and they did a depression pre-screening, and then I started bawling after a few simple questions. I think that was the third time that day alone. Let me just say that I'm a cry baby, but this has been a little bit extreme. The doctor immediately referred me to a psychiatrist (side note: psychologists can to therapy and know a lot about how to handle people. Psychiatrists are MD's that continue on to specialize in psychiatric disorders. They're able to prescribe medication whereas psychologists can't.) and she put me on a drug called celexa. It's an anti-depressant. Apparently my case was severe enough that I required medication for it. That being said, it changed everything. The first couple of days I felt extremely nauseated and had a throbbing headache and couldn't concentrate. Then, it got better from there. On the plus side, the celexa keeps me from binge eating, especially since it's often prescribed for bulimics as well. Thus, I am losing weight. Instead of dealing with my emotions through food (my favorite method) I'm a lot happier and thus don't need to cope that way. I think the shrink will help also. I have a follow-up appointment with the doctor on Wednesday and the shrink appointment is tomorrow.

I've found out a miracle diet/drug/method thingy. Apparently it's called hCG. It's a hormone they extract from pregnant lady pee. It causes you to lost belly fat. It's pretty much a 500 calorie diet, and then an injection of this stuff every day for either 26 or 41 days (depending on how much you need to lose.) The 41 day one (my preference) would cost about $500. If it actually works, I'd totally do it, even if it means sticking myself in the arm every day. The point is that you lose about a pound a day. THAT'S AWESOME!!! That would mean I'd be able to go on a mission after all this year. At least one thing would work out the way I'd originally planned.

I'm moving again! LAME!! I'm going to be living in a house with 4 other girls, and sharing a room. I think it'll be OK, though. It's the bigger picture I keep focusing on....

Anyway, more later.
