37th Day ....I tried something new !
Hello Friends,
As most of you may know, I am on Phen-D and my weight loss on the appetite suppresant has been very good, steadily and all. Well, today I wanted to see what would happen if I didn't take a pill, how much energy would I have? Would I eat more and what other problems if any would I have? Here is what happened. For one, I had a headache all day. Secondly, I ate more. Although I stayed within my caloric and fat range, I did notice many changes. I was sleepy all day. The only change that didn't take place was my constant thought that I wanted, and needed to lose weight. I for one think that is a great thought and proves that I will lose this weight whether I have help from pills or any other type of help. I have always thought that taking this pill was basically mind over matter. Although in my mind it seems there may be some validity to that thought or theory, I do better when my pill is taken. The pill does just what it is supposed too, once I start to eat I am full. Listed below is my Food Log, although I am listing everything and recording calories and fat know that I couldn't even eat all the food, but the recording of it is to keep me in check with my progress.....
