Ask the dibble~
I need a distraction - so I've chosen to do this diary deeley!!! 
I've always been overweight, even looking at my Communion and Confirmation photos - I was never obese as a child, but definitely heavier than I should have been. I excused it in my teens as I was very active but still overweight - I played basketball to a near national level, considered myself very fit - just carried extra weight. Also because of my height, people used to tell me "Oh you carry yourself very well.." etc. I was blinded by it all.
Then I started dieting, which left me ballooning out and shrinking down over and over - it was terrible. I've tried most of the common diets - even the ones everyone swears by - I couldn't stick at any of them.
About 3 months ago a friend came to me and ask had I seen someone's facebook page - he was a guy I knew from school all those years ago... He was coming home from Oz and his friends (who I didn't even know) were all planning his homecoming. Under one of the posts one of the guys I don't know had said "This isn't just going to be bouncy castle big... This is gonna be *insert my full name here* big."
As you can imagine - it broke my heart. This guy I didnt even know; knew me - because of my weight.
I suppose that was the eyeopener I needed so I started researching Lipotrim. It took me this long to actually start the diet - I kept putting it off, birthdays, nights out, big rugby games and nights away... Finally I just got so fed up of being sickened at myself; drinking too much, eating too much...
I started this 5 days ago and had my first weigh in yesterday (as I needed my appointments to be on a Saturday every week). It has been one of the toughest things I've ever done. I keep looking at food thinking - jesus I'd give my left arm for one bite... But you know what, I wouldn't - that feeling passes and I think that's the most important thing these 5 Days have taught me; those feelings of hunger I had before where I would have gourged myself sick - I now just wait 15 minutes and the feeling is gone.
I've been through the mill since I started - Day 1; Fever and Throat infection. Day 2; Doctor visit and put on antibiotics. Day 3; TOTM arrived with a bang. Day 4; Felt like absolute sh_t all day, headachey and lethargic... Day 5; Hasn't been so bad!! I'm feeling much more positive and energetic.
So apart from all of that - my weigh in yesterday went brilllllllliantly... I lost 12lbs by Day 4 - I was so so proud of myself. I know it's mostly water weight, but it just showed me that it's really working and made it SO worthwile that I've been 100% 100%.
Roll on Day 6, Day 10.... Day 30 - I'm SO ready for the challenge!!
