First Day

This is my first day.  Today is Sunday, November 6th.  I ordered my Phentermine last Friday, and should be here by Tuesday (but hoping for Monday).  I also started my menstral cycle today, so I will keep track of that too.

 I'm trying to change my life, not just drop a couple of extra pounds.  I am starting with a goal of 50 pounds in 6 months.  When I was on Phen before I lost about 40 pounds in 10 months, but I was not taking it seriously.  I did not exercise, and did not change my eating habbits much at all.  I was not hungry, so I did not eat as much as was usual, but still had ice cream and candy as I wanted.

This time I want to make a commitment to myself.  As I said before I want to change my life.  The pills are not miricle pills, so I don't expect them to do all the work themselves.  They are just to help me get a running start.

A little about me.  I was a SAHM for 3 years while waiting for the younger of my 5 children to start school.  Now all but the youngest is in school and I have a part time job.  I don't make a lot of money, but it gets me out of the house, and that makes a world of difference.  Sitting home all day every day, I became somewhat of a recluse.  I noticed that when I did start leaving the house, I was afraid of being in a vehicle!  I was terrified of noises, parts falling off or worse, crashing and bursting into a ball of flames....
