Violexie,

Yup love those Entemann’s!!! Hopefully your side effects from the medication subside. If not, the dose may be too high. Otherwise enjoy the appetite suppression and take advantage of it. Healthy food choices and exercise will definately help. I really hope the medication assists you in your weight loss endeavor. It will still require persistence on your part as I am sure you are fully aware. Like you I was never able to lose weight when I lived with my folks having poor food choices at my fingertips would always lead to failure for me. You are very fortunate that you became aware of your ADHD at a relatively young age…be grateful. When I was diagnosed I could not help but feeling robbed of half my life! I try now to leave the past in the past and move on. I am not that old yet!!! LOL Like you after I was made aware what was really wrong with me I found the internet/blogs very informative. I knew nothing about ADHD prior to my diagnosis. For years I was being treated for Bipolar, depression and anxiety! What a mess!!! All the meds only made things worse for me and I am so grateful I now know what is wrong with me. I want to wish you all the best with your weight loss and other endeavors. Keep us updated on your progress. I believe sharing one’s experience, strength and hope is key to success….
