Okay, so I've been pretty overscheduled lately but things are good! My new boyfriend and I are really happy and starting to talk about long-term plans :) He is really great and I really do love him. I'm excited because he has a work conference in Atlanta so he's paying for me to go with him for the week. It should be a lot of fun. He's also going to Colorado sometime this month or next and he wants me to go with him then too. I have never been to Atlanta or Colorado, so I'm really excited about checking them out. I got the 2nd job I applied for so now I'm officially a therapist! I'm doing counseling with kids in their home for about 15 hours a week on top of my full time job. This will give me some extra income, but the main reason I'm doing it is that I need to work under a licensed therapist for 2 years so I can get licensed myself. This will qualify for that. I've been super busy with the 2nd job and the boyfriend, but life is good. I've actually been able to fit working out in there at least 2-3 times a week as well so I'm proud of myself for that. For some reason, I've been really hungry all the time. I think I'm finally having those cravings that people get when they stop smoking. I'm really having to work to keep my weight from going up. I probably need another fill. It seems like either I'm so tight that I have heartburn all the time, or I'm so loose I can eat pretty much anything. Trying to get the sweet spot back! I still am not smoking and never will start again! I'm done with it. The Wellbutrin helped a lot with finally kicking that habit. I'm still taking it because it keeps me from starting smoking again and I find my moods are better.
So my boyfriend tells me he wants me to have his baby one day. Hmmm. I'm not 100% sure I want kids, but I'm definitely considering it in the future. I think one of my biggest fears is having a baby and gaining all my weight back. My mom was never really overweight until she had me (her 2nd child) and then she's never gone back and has been morbidly obese since. I'm terrified of that happening to me. I'm glad I have the band because I will be able to get fills and hopefully that will help me from gaining the weight back. Weight control is a life time challenge. I hope I'm up for it!
