Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Big Update: Done Exams!!

Hi ya'll,
So I have a big update tonight..
TODAY I OFFICIALLY FINISHED ALL MY EXAMS FOR THIS SEMESTER! Woooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo!!!
I am so glad to be done with school, it will be so nice to get finished with the day to actually be FINISHED!
But no rest for the wicked, right?? Tomorrow I start my new job!! I didn't get home from tutoring until after 9 PM tonight, starving and having so much to do before tomorrow so I guess that's what it's gonna be like for a while now!

So the woman I am tutoring for (her two kids) has been really demanding lately and she wanted me to come out for tutoring almost every day, after I get home from work! So I thought about it, and gave her the name of another tutor - Although the money would be nice my day would look like this:
6:15 am - Leave House for Work
4 pm - Leave Work - 1 hour Drive Home
5:30 pm - 1 hour drive to tutoring
6:30 - 8 - Tutoring
9 - Get home!
That's a loooooong day!! So today I find out.. the other tutor said no!! So now I have agreed to do it for as long as I can, but I think it is going to be really hard.

Adrian and I are doing better.. but maybe that's 'cause I have been so busy I never see him!!

hee hee, just kidding. We sort of made a 'contract' in which I promised that after my exams are over I would go through all my stuff and organise and tidy and try to figure out a way to keep tidier more regularly. In return, though, I said I expect to feel like I am always loved and cherished, no matter what changes (especially the shape of my body!!). But we'll see how it goes.

I went to see my doctor today, she acknowledged that I have gained a lot of weight and should be somewhat concerned. She took me off a medication - but not the one I wanted. I wanted to go off Celexa as I haven't noticed any changes since going on it, but she took me off the amitryptiline instead. She said it is the one that is known for weight gain, and we'll see how that goes. If, in six weeks, I want to go off Celexa too then I can. So that would be nice!! She also said that with my diet, I am eating a lot of sugars and I should try and cut back. She told me to try and eat more steamed veggies that I know are safe and have smaller portions of carbs - which will be really hard for me, but I do understand that practically ALL I eat are carbs so I need to have more other stuff instead.

Okay, so I am off to bed now before I have a long day tomorrow. I'll report in after my first day tomorrow and let ya'll know how it goes!
**big hugs**
