Hiya Guys
I'm quite new here, this forum is so big I'm not quite sure where to post this - sorry if it's in the wrong area.
I've been using Xenical for about 10 weeks, altough I did have a about 3 weeks break because I had a rough time, so not a brilliant start.
I have lost 14.5lbs, I am having a few issues not with the Xenical itself but with me.
I want to loose weight and I know I have to but I always seem to go about it in the wrong way.
I have started to exercise more but had a fall a couple of weeks ago and badly sprained an ankle and bruised my knee and the bone so thats a tricky one for me atm. Once thats sorted I am looking for some ideas - I work shifts so 90% of the time that I am able to excercise gyms etc are closed.
I seem to have somekind of mental block if I don't get the weightloss I want, instead of trying harder I always end up eatting bad foods and comfort eatting - at he time it helps but obviously as the reality of what I've just done sinks in so does the guilt. I call it mental sabotage lol thats the only way I can describe it.
I have had a good week so far this week and am full of enthusiasm. I think I am having too many carbs - I have always been a carbs junkie. Any ideas of what alternatives I could have?
I am going to try some new foods this week too. My OH is very fussy but he'll have to 'grin and bare it' or make himself something else.
New things I have bought are Venison, Plaice and Butternut squash - obviously not all to be eatten in one meal hehe but I'm trying to be abit more adventurous.
Any help, hints, tips are very welcome
