Hi everyone, I am on day 5 and it has been an amazing effort, but i have to say I am very proud of myself. I am supplementing with National Cosmetic Centre Phentermine from a doctor, so it has helped but I am still obsessing on food. I actually survived making a Sunday dinner for my father in law, stressy as it is to be around outlaws, haha, and merely lost some sleep as I drank about a gallon of coffee so I did not get to dreamland until around five am! The tablets did not do this to me before, it was definitely the coffee, so my bad.
I switched to decaf today and save the caffeine fixes for my walks into town for fresh air and lusty window shopping.
I just weeded out the closet and drawers and threw away the baggy everything. So, as I shrink, the tumble dryer will accomodate me in my jeans and soo I will shed the stretchy pants forever!
We are trying to plan a summer holiday, out first without kids ever, and are thinking about the beach. I used to look great in a bikini, but noticed my abdomen and hips are full of stretch marks from this awful weight gain!
(I started University at 40, and the lack of activity did me in as I munched my way through my studies and the stress of it all! ) I also was diagnosed with a decreasing sight condition which kept me indoors and on the couch watching tv instead of going for walks and stuff.
Anyway, we all have a reason for getting heavy, and I am finding not eating a challange sometimes because not that I am so hungry but just always think about food. If I am going for a walk, I think about which coffee shop to stop at, and where to pick up dinner ingredients on the way back. wierd, just a habit I guess.
What else is there to do?
Any suggestions on the low energy and how to keep your mind free from food?
Also, exercise, my knees hurt tremendously as I never weighed this much before - should I hold off on the exercise until I drop enough to carry myself without pain?
I started at 15.7 - thats a shocking 217 pounds! I was numb! I never had cellulite or belly fat before above the jeans waistline but now it caught up to me so fast - could also be turning 40 but I hope not. Living in England reduces your activity immediately I found, after being on the beach my entire life in sunny south Florida or lovely Australia. (Moved here to marry).
Hmmmpfh
Anyone in Liverpool that would like to go walking?
