Since my girlfriend and I started dating, we have switched birth control methods a few times. I know the hormonal contraceptives tend to give her headaches so she chose to do the depo shot for about a year. She recently switched to a more behavioral approach. This is what has worked best for us so far. We both agree on wanting kids but not in the near future and some of the things this chapter mentions are our main reasons. Firstly, with her being a full time student and part time employee, we do not make enough money to live comfortably with a child. Second we both want to travel when she graduates next May, and having a child would just complicate that.
As for my health goal for the semester, I had another good week. I made it through the weekend without binge eating on NFL Sunday. I was also able to stick to my gym and cardio routine. Both my girlfriend and I have been running a few miles every other day or so and attempting to better our times. Overall, my diet has been way more consistent and I feel good about the direction I have been trending. I’ve really been trying to find the balance of living the healthiest lifestyle I actually enjoy.
