3 Days on Phentermine
I've been on Phentermine for 3 days now an I am loving the fact I've not obsessed over food since I took the very first pill. I started Phentermine on Friday 2-23-07 @ 155.4 and today is Sunday 2-25-07. This morning I weighed and I was 151.4. that's a 4 pound loss in only 3 days! I am feeling great and have been very energetic since I started taking them.
I even got TOM yesterday and normally I have water weight gain, but this time I didn't. I've been faithfully drinking my water and watching what I eat. It feels so good to see the scales going down again. I've been on a plateau for about 4 months now after losing 81 pounds on my own. Looks like that is over with! **THANK GOD** 
My husband, our son and I went to dinner last night and to the movies. I ordered a house salad but I forgot to ask for the dressing on the side, so I ate 3 bites of it and no more. I didn't eat ANY of the hot, buttery, warm rolls they brought to the table and I only ate 1 potato skin dipped in a TINY bit of sour cream. I ordered the filet mignon which was 6 ounces, I cut it in half and gave the other half to my husband, it was served with a very tasty rice with herbs, and I had grilled veggies and a Diet Coke and a glass of ice water. I didn't finish everything on my plate, that was even after me giving half of my steak away.
I am so very, very proud of myself. Because I could have ate everything they originally brought me. I think the Phen helps me to stop and think before I eat.
We went to the movies and seen Ghost Rider- all 3 of us (including my teenage son who's into comic books) were disappointed. I like Nicolas Cage very much and he was good in it, but the writing lacked and it was kind of corny. But we all had a great time nonetheless.
I feel that the Phen is a tool for me to use, making me think before I eat. It's a wonderful tool! I wonder how much weight I can lose this month? I've already lost well on my 3 days on it.If I am remembering correctly I was 155.4 by my scales on Friday when I got them, so if that's the case I've already lost 4 pounds in 3 days. Wow!
Tomorrow is Monday and I'm starting an experiment. I'm not drinking ANY Diet Cokes from Monday to Friday, that's 5 days to see if it helps the scales move down any faster. I'll of course be updating my results here. I am drinking water 90% of the time and I'll be drinking ALL of the following this week: 1% milk, light soy milk, & coffee during this week.
I have a good feeling about getting out of the 150's this week and into a new "zone". I can't believe I've been stuck for so long and now it's just falling off of me. I really am thankful for this. I get discouraged very easily and I was afraid I'd go back to my old eating habits if I wasn't continuing to lose on a steady basis. I'm not worried about that now.
For the last 14 months I've been trying to " eat like a size 6 "
Meaning I think of myself in my head as being a size 6 and I try to eat like that. Ok, my husband is awake from his nap so I'm outta here. I may update later again tonight or I just might wait until tomorrow.Until then-
Wishing you all the very best,
