Hi guys,
I have been avoiding the forum through shame! I went into a downward spiral emotionally after coming off lipotrim, and things went from bad to worse, and it all came to a grand climax when I 'dropped out' of college, luckily I got things sorted and the 'drop out' only lasted 2 weeks. End result is that I gained over 2 stone of my 6st 10 lb weight loss back.
I amn't really committed to the other diets I've tried (Holford, WW) so I've decided to get back on Lipotrim and lose the rest of the weight I want to lose (Probably 4 stone). It's a really hard decision to make, my biggest problem is that I was a very public dieter and would tell anyone who cared to listen all about it, and my gain of 2 stone is very visible. I will be embarrassed when people eventually figure out I'm back on Lipotrim. Part of me also feels that I failed to maintain my weight the last time, so is there really any point trying again. 2 things are going to be different this time
1. I'm attending a counillor to work through emotional issues and
2. I have a gym buddy and am going to get into an exercise routine
If those will be enough of a change I don't know, but I'm miserable the way things are. My clothes don't fit me anymore, I'm living in about 6 outfits.
The only positive things I can think to say is that I haven't gained any weight in over a month. So I learned to Maintain in a sense, just at the wrong level.
I'm going to my pharmacy today and planning to start Week 1 on Monday (I have a conference/competition in London this weekend). I'm going to be on Lipotrim for Valentine's Day, and the big ball at the end of Feb, and my Easter break. I reckon as a rough guide I will need 12 weeks to lose 4 stone, maybe 13 or 14.
I feel like I've let everyone down, myself, my bf, my family, friends, and all the people who supported me on here last time on LT (and my pharmacist!?! but that might be a step too far?)
Love Guen
