Weight Loss ups and downs

going crazy

Tuesday, December 5, 2006 22:07:16

I'm really trying, but I find that I intend to pay more attention to my eating habits, but then for whatever reason (typically depression), I slide into old eating habits. Right now I'm really trying just not to eat SO much. I try to half it or cut it down as much as possible. I lost .4 in the last couple of days, so maybe that will help. I read somewhere that getting rest is important, so I'm trying to get to sleep when I should. It's hard because sometimes I just can't get my mind to wind down enough to sleep.

I just need to keep fighting this weight. As I lose weight more emotions surface and once I get to where I need to be as far as my weight goes, I'm sure I'll arrive at my emotional maturity soon after. As for how soon after, who knows? But, I'm going to do it. I know I can. Discipline is something I have struggled with, so the sooner I learn it, the better!

It looks like the plateau is on it's way out! I lost 1.4 lbs today! That puts me back to close to where I was before I started ballooning up again. This is promising. I'm trying to follow the points plant to keep in control of my calories. So far so good. Phentermine is a big help, but yesterday I took my bontril and it actually helped a lot! I hope I can get under 210 by my doc appointment on Monday, but we'll see!

Ok, here's the deal. I joined a site that had to do with taking Phentermine, which I've taken since the holidays struck last year. My doctor is currently weaning me off of the medication, but I've found that I don't do so well without it. I'm hoping to take a break off of it and possibly start it back up again to kick start my remaining 60 lb weight loss.

This is going to be where I go through what is working and what doesn't. So far, phentermine works, but I can't stay on it for much longer. We'll see. I have another appointment with the doctor on Monday.
