[desireeanne]

well day 1 is here have picked up the pills and will be haveing my first tablet tonight with dinner am scared and excited at the same time

have taken my dog for a 1/2 hour walk as well so hopefully i do well

i dont eat vegies and am not fit so i am a little scared,

 

[missfortissimo]

If you do not eat veggies try to be sure to take a vitamin supplement and find a source of fiber.

Welcome to minimins and welcome to the diet wagon! Good luck, we are all in the same boat and we will support you! :wavey:

 

[desireeanne]

oh thank you
i do have vitamin supplements but am feeling really good at the moment

 

[autumnbabe]

how are you finding youe 1st week on xenical desireeanne.?

 

[desireeanne]

um good, have been doing zumba and walk the dog
didnt feel very well last night was really tired and fealt like being sick but not sure if that had anything to do with the tablets or not

 

[Rachgleeson]

I'd say it was probably just a coincidence, hope you are feeling better now though!! The woman at the chemist recommended taking a multivitiamin... I have been having a glass of innocent smooothie as i'm not keen on veg either... Good luck and keep us posted...

 

[desireeanne]

thanks good luck to you too
yeah im fine , its going well so far,
i have multivitamins here that my mum gave me a while ago ( she had lap band surgery and cant take them)
can i ask what innocent smoothie is lol or is that just a smoothie?

 

[Rachgleeson]

Thats just the name of them, maybe you dont get them where you are, but you buy them here ready made in a carton!! How you feeling today, hoping the sickness has gone!!

 

[desireeanne]

oh okay yeah dont think we have them here,
um yeah doing good smelly farts lol thats about it

 

[Rachgleeson]

lol, same here today but not sure if thats the baked beans i had for breakfast
I might have to give them a miss from now on i think!!
Whens your in day?

 

[desireeanne]

yeah i wont be haveing the same breakfast i had today again, no bread so could not have toast and yeah not make that ame mistake again
not much im at home so am bored as hell all day long

 

[Rachgleeson]

I'm off bread, so this makes it difficult sometimes when your used to having it at most meals!! Boredom really doesnt help either, i know when i am bored i always want to eat everything that in the house and more lol... Any hobbies you could take up??

 

[desireeanne]

yeah i find the same actually yesterday all i thought about was food which was not like me at all but i resisted it and was fine

yeah am waiting to hear back about a course i enrolled in which will take up a lot of time ,

 

[Rachgleeson]

That will be great for you, anything to keep you away from food lol... I could do with something as i am currently trying to lose weight and give up cigarettes, which really isnt easy as normally i would have a fag if i was hungry to stop myself eating..arrghh but i will get there..

 

[desireeanne]

good luck with both
i live with a house full of smokers and my partner smokes and i dont so i live with it but it dont bother me, but i have seen them when they try to give up not a easy thing especially do both at once,
if my puppy is inside he will take the smoke out of my boyfriends mouth and spit it out its really cute

 

[Rachgleeson]

lol even the puppy wants him to quit, so cute. Its not easy but i have to try my best, i want a healthy life so i know its best for me and my family!!

 

[desireeanne]

good on you im sure you will do it
where are you located?

 

[Rachgleeson]

I'm living in ireland at the moment but i am from the uk!! Thats when i put most of my weight on, when i moved here!! Think i have been so homesick i have just been comfort eating!!!

 

[desireeanne]

oh okay fair enough yeah im in new zealand,
i have 5 children (they live with my family) so yeah i ended up heavy as
and then my depression and bi polar dont help
im hopeing to get to my pre pregnancy weight which i dont think is too un realistic and i dont like dieting watched my mum diet all my life did that one in for me , and dont have the money for lap band surgeory like her so yeah long road here we come but am very up beat and happier then i have been in ages

 

[Rachgleeson]

I also have suffered from depression and panic attacks, which i know havent helped either i have been on medications for thi for the past 7 nearly 8 years. I watched my mum dieting all her life and she still is, as she suffers with arthritis in her back and knees, and i know she doesnt want me to end up the same...
I think i would be too afraid to have surgery so this really is my only option, so i am determined to make it work!!
