I've been hovering right over 195, but not 195, for 3 days now...why won't that stupid scale just say it???? Surely that phentermine has not quit working. Its only been 3 weeks since I started taking it. Guess I'll have to step up the exercise. oh well, the silver lining is that I haven't gained any. I'm just going to have to try harder!
by those chocolate covered cherries yesterday, thank god! I haven't gained, but I haven't lost either. I'm hovering right over (but not quite there yet) my minigoal of 195. I need to help my daughter paint her bathroom this weekend, so maybe the extra exercise will bring it on. 
Today she came over with a pair of size 14's in one hand and a box of chocolate covered cherries in the other. How's that for mixed messages? LOL I reminded her I was on a diet and she said there's just a few pieces in here and it won't hurt, so being a woman of very little will power and having my sister's "permission" we sat down and chatted and ate 5 CCC's a piece. OMG they were wonderful! I haven't had chocolate in over 2 weeks and those are my absolute favorites! But I'm not sure they were worth it at 75 calories a piece. Thats 375 empty calories!!!! I've stuck to my diet the rest of the day, though, so we'll see what the damage is tomorrow. 
I lost another pound today and put on a pair of jeans that I couldn't wear before. I could get them on and button them, but they were too tight in the waist to tolerate for very long. They fit fine today, even after having lunch with my sister and daughter. I also gave a pair of pants to my sister that HAD fit comfortably but were getting too baggy in the booty and legs. We went shopping and I could actually wear size 14s that were low waisted (there's a name for that, but I can't think of what it is). Unfortunately, 14's that button at the waist are still too tight because of my belly. I decided not to buy any new pants until the ones I have quit fitting entirely - no sense in wasting money with Christmas coming - but I am excited about this progress!
I've lost 10 pounds in 15 days. That is almost unbelievable to me. I really like it, but it I hope its not too fast. I need to go to work, but I just wanted to blog this real fast before I forget. So here's to the next 10 and hope everybody else has a good day, too!
I FINALLY made it out of the 200s yesterday. I'm so excited! Granted, it is still 199 but somehow that sounds SO much better to me. My new mini goal is 195.
This phentermine is pretty amazing stuff. I've lost another 2 pounds since I posted last and it seems pretty effortless. I think the tools on this website really help too. Logging what you eat and actually seeing the calories add up is a real eye opener and has helped me cut back a lot. Phentermine doesn't seem to kill hunger for me, but somehow seems to aid with self control. Like in Walmart yesterday, my first thought was "oooohhhh, chocolate covered cherries." My second thought was "damn, I'm on a diet!" Or maybe its my brain just being so darn tired of being fat and not wanting to regain the 6 pounds I've lost. Whatever the reason, I'll take it and hope it lasts a very long time!
I lost another pound today. Hallelujah! I said I wasn't going to get on the scale, but I just couldn't resist. I guess I am a "scale junkie." I guess I'll have to work on that, but right now I'm just so happy to see those numbers go down. I can't wait to see it say 199. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.
Today was a hard day. I got on the scale and it had not moved, which kind of depressing. I know its a mistake to get on the scale everyday. I'm going to try not to look for a week, or maybe semi-weekly. I've also had symptoms that I'm not sure is the phentermine or something like carb/sugar/caffeine withdrawal. Chills and nausea, and a little bit of a headache. It might be low blood sugar as it got better after I ate a banana or it could be the carb/sugar/caffeine thing cause it felt better when I took 2 aspirin and draink a glass of pop. I'm kind of worried cause I don't want to stop the phentermine but I also don't want to feel like this the whole time I'm on. Of course, its also possible that I'm getting my granddaughter's cold and none of the above really applies.
It snowed here today, which is really unsual for Oklahoma. My granddaughter wanted to make snow angels so badly, but she already has a cold so we had to say no. I hate that cause she probably won't have many chances to do that in this area.
I'm trying very hard to hold onto a positive attitude cause I know this is not going to happen over night, but when it doesn't then I get that "whats the point of trying" feeling. I know what the point is. I don't want to look like this my whole life. I would be perfectly satisfied in a size 12. I HAVE lost 3 pounds, which is roughly 10% of my goal, so I guess thats something to think about.
Anyway, tomorrow's another day, Scarlett. Hopefully my attitude will be better then.
I just realized I have "wasted" away the biggest part of the day on this website, but you know what - that's okay. I need motivation - badly! I have seen many, many blogs that offered that and am coming to realize that there are other people out there who are in my shoes. That makes me feel better - not because I want them to suffer any of this, but because I can see they have made progress and that offers me HOPE. Angels must have been looking out for me this morning when I sat down at the computer!
