my xenical journey , 4 weeks in

[Alex_1978]

i know where i want to be , the thing is i didn't appreciate it when i was there last time

I could've written this myself! I got to my lowest weight a couple of years ago, and although I knew that my clothes sizes were getting smaller, I really didn't grasp how much I, or my body had changed, and how much more comfortable I was in my own skin.
Unfortunately when I hit that lowest weight, I started to re-gain it straight away so I never appreciated life as a size 16! (I wanted to be a 14 ideally).
Anyway, I'm really pleased that you've been to the doctor and that they've taken the time to talk to you, and treat you as as a complete person, rather than focussing on one specific health issue.
As you know, it's so important to feel healthy, positive and focussed to be able to embark on any kind of weight-loss journey, so hopefully the new medication will help with that, and you'll be feeling great in no time.

todays diet has been
B'fast ,bagel with mashed banana on
Lunch , chicken salad wrap , yogurt
Dinner , 1/2 asda good for you lasagne & oven chips ( Mc cains are <5% fat)
snacks , snack a jack , crispy slices
so all pretty good , lesson learnt ? don't have that lasagne again , watery & tasteless !!!

hi
i was fine with it , which is a relief . i have to say i have toyed with the idea of testing the tabs , check they really work for me , not had the courage to do so yet though lol

 

[pandora]

well i have taken a bit of a risk tonight
DD1 is back from her hols & yest eve she txt me & asked if we could have her favourite dinner & could the family she had gone away with have dinner with us .
of course i said yes , the thing is her favourite dinner is something called Balsamic glazed chicken , u marinade the chicken in equal measures of balsamin vinegar , honey , wholegrain mustard & olive oil , then cook it , & mix with cooked pasta , it is yummy .
the thing is per portion the meal is 10g fat , but obv the olive oil is well over 5% fat oh well time will tell
its really nice to have her home , plus her sister is at a sleep over so we are just having a nice mum daughter eve , shes just gone for her 2st bath in 2 weeks , bless
