Ah sure, if you're on this site you know the stage I have reached. I'm sick of having clothes that are 2x hanging on the clothes line. As if hanging them to the extreme left or right side of the line will mask their enormity to my neighbours!
I am tired of not having the energy to play with my children the way I want to play with them, as now I actually fear breaking the swing set, should I dare join them in their fun.
I am disgusted with the fact that I cannot fit comfortably in chairs with arms, that I am dangerously close to running into the the end of the seatbelt in the car and that my mattress has a distinguishable dip on my side of the bed.
However, most importantly...I am nearing 40 and I am in no way, form or shape to be so flippant with my obesity while having heart disease in my family's gene-pool. I am just so sorry that I have waited this long to address this. Oh how I wish time travel was possible - I definitely would write a letter to my 13 year old self telling her that a size 12, in fact, is a number I now strive to be and that Kristen W. who made up the slam book in the 8th grade stating that I had fat legs, has been in and out of jail on drug possession and prostitution. Don't listen to her, she was bad news back then and she only got worse over time.
A friend told me about her hairdresser who lost 8 stone on Lipotrim in 8 months. Sounds fab, right? So I did a bit of research on it and found that you completely forgo food - wha-wha-WHAT?! Of course you could lose a stone a month if you stopped eating - but how extreme is that??? Back and forth in my mind on the logistics of it...do I, dont I, do I, don't I. So I decided to go and have a chat with the pharmacist to get to the real nitty-gritty as to how this works. And it was in the course of this conversation that it occurred to me for the first time that I have a food addiction. If there were a check list for someone with a food addiction, I would tick every single box. And with being the weight that I am, it seems so obvious that food addiction could be a culprit - but hand on heart it never occurred to me that I may have this addiction.
So after the pharmacist explained how addictions work and how after 21 days I will have broken the habit and my body will no longer crave like I do now - it truly seems like a no-brainer! Of COURSE I'm going to go on Lipotrim if it can help me lose the weight AND break me of my food addiction. (you're probably wondering by now how many more times I'm going to write out the words, 'food addiction' aren't you?!)
So here I am, I K-N-O-W I will be in need of support through this, as I cannot turn to most of my family/friends regarding this because this seems like such an extreme measure to losing weight. Yes, Weight Watcher's is the more healthy route - but weighing in at 19 stone (121 kilos or 267 lbs)...no matter how you measure weight - those are dangerously frightening numbers and the sooner I can get into a healthy BMI, the better -- regardless of the method! I'm sure I'll end up returning to WW after I've reached my goal - just to keep tabs on the scale and to reinforce healthy eating. But for now, I truly feel that Lipotrim is going to help me get to the root of my issues that surround food. If someone is an alcoholic - they can't have just one or two social pints per day...same thing with a drug addict (that's twice I've mentioned drug addicts now...I swear I'm not hung up on Kristen W...she can't hurt me anymore dang it!
) and I can see the similar point for someone who is a food addict. Completely take it out of the equation - detox, get back to a healthy weight - then maintain with whatever support services are out there because I now realize that this will ALWAYS be an issue with me, always. However, now... I am determined to be in control over my life rather than spin out of control while shoving a cannoli in my face.
