Well it's official
Friday was my last pill. After many conversations with Shaun, we have decided now is the right time to start seriously preparing my body for children.
This does not mean I want to get pregnant right away (I have heard that falling so soon after the pill may cause complications during pregnancy), but that I am seriously preparing my body.
I have been pretty strict with my diet - which let me tell you has made a tremendous change to my life. I have more energy, my asthma is almost like it had never existed, and I have hardly been sick at all (and when I do catch the odd virus from school, it appears to affect me with less potency than it affects others). I intend on remaining on this diet for the rest of my life. The changes it has made to my outlook (I am 100% sure it has contributed to my final climb out of the sesshole of depression I have spent the last 11 years slipping in and out of) on life and the fact that I have lost 2 dress sizes and feel great for it helps me stick to it.
I would like to increase my exercise a little before I get pregnant, and I want to be off the pill for at least 2 months (preferably 3) before I get pregnant, so Shaun and I will have to be a little 'carefull' and return to those disgusting plastic barriers. But at least we are both prepared to deal with a pregnancy if it should happen before our 'desired' plan (though I would love to actually fall in December like I've told everyone I was going to do.!! :P hehe)
I had my last counselloring session last week, and she said that there has been a remarkable improvement in my outlook. I did discuss my worries about not having any more sessions. Last time I had couselloring and was told I'd be alright, I left and went right back into the old cycle of things. She has told me that I can call to chat any time, and if I needed to come back, they should be able to work out a payment plan for me... It has made me feel a little better - like I actually have that safety net to fall back on.
I am feeling quite proud of myself. I don't feel like the internet rules me anymore. I've stayed away from 'that site' and I am hardly on my own forum (as the people there tend to lead me towards 'that site'). I did have a big hissy fit when one of the members of my site caused a big kerfuffle over at 'that site' and I got some of the blame - thus the reason I decided to back off from even my site. And to be honest, it was probably one of the best things that could have happened to me, as I think it was the one thing that helped me get 'truely' over it all.
Well there is an update for you all... Don't expect to many, I don't expect to be on here very often - I have a life to live now!!!
