Week 15, Day 1 - Minor Victory
I wrote a big post before work this morning and somehow lost it in the posting cycle. I have no clue what I wrote, so I'll just try again...
Yesterday, I took the last pill from my initial month's Rx for phentermine. Unbeknownst to me, you have to hand deliver a written presecription each and every time you want to get the stuff filled. Dr. Seberger had put refills on the original prescription, so of course, since I had no clue, I tried to call in my refill yesterday. Got a call just before noon that they couldn't do it. And he's out of town until next Wednesday. I know I'll survive without it. In fact, it will give me a chance to decide if I want to continue taking the phen or not.
I was finally able to break away from 196. Today, the scale was down to 193.8. Yay!! That makes 9.8 pounds in the last 4 weeks. I am very happy with that. Considering I've been sick in some fashion for the last 5 weeks. I will be so happy to get over this shit!!
I go back to see my PCP on Monday. I hope my she can provide some better insight into what's going on with my head than her cohort did. I certainly will never go see him again. I still get lightheaded everytime I stand up. And I'm dizzy all the time...it's like I've spent the last 2 weeks getting off the Tilt-A-Whirl.
In other news, I've been able to do some clothes shopping recently. Wednesday, I stopped by Kohl's for new pants. Seeming as how the ones I've been wearing are all but falling off of me. And what size did I get? 14's baby!!! No W...just plain 14's. 
I got brave and tried on a pair of 12's, too. They fit. Kinda. I got them fastened and everything without any trouble, but they were way too snug in the thighs. FOR NOW. I picked up a pair of 12 jeans for inspiration. It won't be too long!!!
Unfortunately, one of the pants I bought don't fit. 
I thought they were the same cut (diff color) as another pair I got, but not even close. They're too BIG!! I wore them to work Thursday and went around tugging them up all day because the one brown belt I own was on the last hole and I didn't have time to cut a new one. I'll either break out the sewing machine to do some tailoring over the weekend or find someone who can do it for me.
I also found the pair of size 14 jeans that I'd bought LAST spring when I hit 210. I was going strong on South Beach at the time and bought them the same day I picked up a pair of 16's to replace the ones my daughter ripped the back pocket off of. They'd never been worn...until today. And guess what!!! They're loose. Not exactly baggy, but they will in about 5 pounds!! Those 12's I bought the other day are looking better and better.
Sometime this weekend, I'm going to scour the house and garage for the one box of size 10 & 12 clothes that I know is around somewhere. I am so excited to get in that box and see what's there. It's stupid...I know!!
