And so it begins...

I've actually started.  I began to take Phentermine yesterday, and let me tell you, it definitely suppressed my appetite!  I ate only half of what I usually eat.  It didn't give me any boost of energy though, which was a little disappointing.  I could've used it!  I work full time and I'm also in graduate school full time.  That doesn't leave much time for anything else.  In fact, it's one of my biggest challenges.  I find it so difficult to get to the gym because there just aren't enough hours in the day!  I am hoping my life will settle down in a few weeks and I'll have a little more free time.  In the meantime, I am definitely going to focus on developing new eating habits.  Tomorrow, I plan to sit down and plan out all my meals for the week so I can go grocery shopping.  We'll see how it goes!

This is the beginning and I have a loooong way to go.  When it's all said and done, I'll have lost (I hope) 152 pounds-that's a whole person!!!  I know it's going to be difficult, and it's going to take a lot of discipline, but I really am committed to do this for myself.  I want to be healthy.  I want to have more fun.  I want to be dang sexy!  Haha.  Wish me luck, y'all!
