Today is the day- I start on Phentermine today!!

Well folks, today is the day. I have a 2:00 appointment with the "diet doctor" and I am really excited. I can't stand the waiting!

I've been over at the phentermine.com boards and I've been getting all inspired about getting back on this drug. There is one woman on there who's lost 15 pounds her first month. I will be thrilled if I could lose 15 pounds in 1 month. I've even read where other people has lost 25-30 pounds in a month. I'll be happy with just the 15 to be honest with ya.

I'm going to have my husband take my "before/during" pics today when he gets home from work. I'm so excited.

I'll let you know how I am doing this evening or at the very latest Saturday morning. Oh, speaking of Saturday. My husband and I are taking our son out to dinner and a movie. We are going to see Ghost Rider! I can't wait. But, I should be back here this evening giving you all an update though. I just can't seem to stay off the Internet reading about weight loss and other peope successes!  I'm off to hop in the shower and get ready! Until then,

Wishing you all the very best,

Well, it's almost 1:30 Saturday morning and I've got my Phentermine! I took one in the parking lot and after about an hour and a half I could feel it kicking in. I fasted for 14 hours for my blood test  for my 2:00 Friday appointment. I took the pill at 2:30 and I could FEEL it about an hour and a half afterwards. I didn't eat dinner until 7:30 Friday night. I only had a very, very small amount  of food. The drug is working because I wasn't even hungry- I am SOOOO happy.  My doctor says if I lose 25 pounds he'll be happy. I am thinking to myself more like 35 pounds. If I lose 35 pounds that will put me at 120 pounds and that's where I want to be.

I have had so much energy today, I LOVE THIS PILL!  I'm looking forward to going out to eat tomorrow before we go to the movies, I want to see how I do around restaurant food.

I don't think I'll have any problem at all. I remember the last time I took this pill, it made me almost euphoric. I just remember thinking to myself. " It's nice to not think of food 24 hours a day 7 days a week."  It was a great escape from thinking of food all of the time!

I got my husband to take 3 pics of me today when he got home from work. A front shot, a side shot and a back shot. I look pregnant in the front and side shots. I didn't hold my stomach in at all (which I usually do 90% of the time, even in the privacy of my own home) It took me a good 10 minutes to relax enough to even let my husband see me with it not being held in. He's the coolest guy ever! He could care less. I know this much, he still treated me like a princess even when I was at my biggest @ 236 pounds. He'd still walk up behind me while I was doing the dishes and kiss my neck and tell me how much he loved me and how pretty I was. He never once acted like he desired me any less sexually because of my weight. He really never had a problem with it. I'm the one who had the problem. He really is the sweetest man I have ever known. I thank God for him each and every single day!

My son is pretty cool too, when he was little he'd say " Momma you're not fat, you're fluffy." LOL he is a cool teenager too. He told me yesterday when I finished getting ready to go somewhere I came out of ther bathroom with a new shirt on and he said " You look nice today."  How cool is that?! My 14 year old son paid me a compliment, and it's often too, it's not like that's the only time he's ever said something like that.  He and my husband really are sweet guys, I love them both so much. They are my world.

Well, I think I'm going to read some news and check the weather and look up showtimes for the movie. I hope you all have a great weekend just in case I don't log back on here until Monday. Until then-

Wishing you all the very best,
