Bobby, Do you think it helps with your eating???
I already am on a weight neutral meds except the zyprexa 5mg dose.
I am making bad food decisions and drinking which is not good.

it helps with sweets craving. I don't binge as much and a lot of times my appetite has decreased

I take topamax for migraine maintenance. I also have memory problems,
but I would either way. I don't have the ones that topamax causes.

At least the ones I know of. I have the ones that my past concussions caused.
i find it really helps my migraines, the ones I get now are from the rain and
weather changes. OF course I can't stop those it seems.

I have not been trying to limit my drinking.
I had the equivalent of 9 drinks today.
When am I going to take this seriously?

Bizi,

You will take it seriously when you believe that you deserve the
best for yourself.

Have patience.

I agree with Mari, you first have to make the decision that you matter
and want and need to make a change.

And when that day comes, we will be here for you.

1. Precontemplation - In this stage, people do not intend to take action in the foreseeable future (defined as within the next 6 months). People are often unaware that their behavior is problematic or produces negative consequences. People in this stage often underestimate the pros of changing behavior and place too much emphasis on the cons of changing behavior.
2. Contemplation - In this stage, people are intending to start the healthy behavior in the foreseeable future (defined as within the next 6 months). People recognize that their behavior may be problematic, and a more thoughtful and practical consideration of the pros and cons of changing the behavior takes place, with equal emphasis placed on both. Even with this recognition, people may still feel ambivalent toward changing their behavior.
3. Preparation (Determination) - In this stage, people are ready to take action within the next 30 days. People start to take small steps toward the behavior change, and they believe changing their behavior can lead to a healthier life.
4. Action - In this stage, people have recently changed their behavior (defined as within the last 6 months) and intend to keep moving forward with that behavior change. People may exhibit this by modifying their problem behavior or acquiring new healthy behaviors.
5. Maintenance - In this stage, people have sustained their behavior change for a while (defined as more than 6 months) and intend to maintain the behavior change going forward. People in this stage work to prevent relapse to earlier stages.
6. Termination - In this stage, people have no desire to return to their unhealthy behaviors and are sure they will not relapse. Since this is rarely reached, and people tend to stay in the maintenance stage, this stage is often not considered in health promotion programs.
