Still waiting for my Phentermine

I'm not sure how much longer I can wait.  I'm going to give it another 2 weeks to arrive.  In the meantime, I have my Stacker and Xenadrine.  Funny thing is, I don't take them like I should.  I've been half dying from all this effexor withdrawal.  Blagh.

But I recieved some good news.  I'm going on a cruise with my family in April, so I'll see how much I can lose by then.  The trip won't be fun if I have to wear big baggy clothes. 

I also have another motivation.  For the first time in over a year, I'm beginning to show interest in the opposite sex.  It blows my mind really but I'm tired of 'staying loyal' to the ol' ex...when he doesn't even know I'm alive.

Depression

Are you doing anything about the depression? If you're coming off Effexor, you may have a really rough time on your own with it. Stress relievers? Relaxation? Affirming thoughts? Fun hobbies? Just keep a watchful eye on the depression because it is insidious and will spill over into everything if you don't constantly remind yourself of what it is. There is a supplement I take called 5-htp that helps incease serotonin (like a lot of depression drugs), and boosts the effectiveness of phentermine. You can get it from Walmart or Target even. Have you tried that? It turns to tryptophan in your body. There's a lot of info on it over at www.fatnews.com. (look on the left of that page).

Good luck with everything. I'm going to add you to my friends list.

Effexor...

Hey!  I was reading your blog and noticed you used to be on Effexor too.  I was on that stuff for over a year and gained 50+ pounds on it.  I was thin before then.

I also started Phentermine last Thursday.  Love it so far.

Good luck with it!!!
