I've started the DRWLC.com program again (check it out if you're in the SC area). I told my doc that I felt that the phentermine did not work effectively (although I lost 12 lbs the first week). He prescribed a new appetite suppressant called Bontril where I take 1 35mg tablet 3 times a day. I sure hope it works! I decided to continue with the HCG so I'm looking for big results this time because I promise I'm going to do it right this time!
As of right now, I've taken 2 tablets and eaten lunch which consisted of half a chicken breast and 1/2 cup of veggies. I want to say that I'm hungry but I think it's a mind thing. I feel good, but I want to feel better (lil hungers pains are trying to get me)...Hopefully I will feel differently tomorrow.
I've given myself until June 22 to lose 23 lbs. I don't want to get my hopes up too high but if I can reach that goal, I will be satisfied. I just gotta take it one day at a time.....
When I first started my last diet, I was so excited! I lost a whole15 lbs! Then that terrible time of the month came...then I had the flu for 2 weeks...then I gave up...
There goes my diet...
I was pleased with the weight loss though-I felt good, not like I was stuffed to capacity anymore and I LOVED that feeling....The last time I dieted was about a month and a half ago and I gained about 4 lbs back...I'm mad because I gained weight but I'm happy because it wasn't the whole 15 lbs....oh well....
Starting tomorrow, I'm changing my eating habits...I know what I should and should not do...shoot, I did it and got results last time...I just gotta do it again.....
I GOTTA LOSE THIS WEIGHT....20lbs....I GOTTA DO IT!
I messed up...BIG TIME...I saw a Taco Bell commercial and just had to have a freakin' taco...or two.....Damn! 2 TACOS, Supreme, no sour cream...(at least I had no sour cream, right??) I am sooooo mad at myself..I didn't go over my recommended calorie intake too badly, BUT, my trusty friend, Fitday.com, told me that 44% of what I ate today was fat!!!!! I can't let this happen again.....
ok, so today starts a new week and I'm pretty hopeful that I'll lose a good bit of weight. My goal for this week is to become more active because I really didn't do much last week. I really want a toned body but I'm not quite sure how to do it. I would join a gym, but I hate going by myself and a personal trainer is too expensive. I don't know. I gotta do something.
Ok, so this morning, I wake up with a stomach wrenching craving for Hotcakes and Sausage from McDonalds. I'm thinking to myself, "it's not like you've lost any weight, so this lil meal won't matter." But I began to think about all the hard work and determination that I've put into this first week. It was hell cutting back all those calories, fighting the hunger pains and just saying no to the junk food. I decided to step on the scale, just to get an idea of where I was. I was shocked! The scale read 150 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
150
I lost 10 freaking pounds!!!!!! I am so freaking proud of myself!!!! I've never in my life thought I would see 150lbs again! 25 more pounds to go and I really can't believe it...Hopefully, this second week of my diet will be a little easier to handle. Losing that 10 lbs really gave me the boost I needed to continue.
I want to give up today and it's only Day 5. I don't feel like I've lost any weight, then again, I haven't weighed myself to find out for sure. I'm having a hard time with the diet....I can count the calories but it seems as if I may be eating the wrong things....I'm so confused.....Although my doctor said I could go ahead and take a whole phentermine tablet, today, I was hit with hunger pains so bad, I thought I was going to die. This is so frustrating......I have no energy and it seems I always have a headache...I must not be doing something right.....
Yesterday (Wednesday) was Day 3 of my super diet and it sucked big time! I think my body is forming an aversion to meat. I felt sick all day yesterday after eating lunch which consisted of half a chicken breast and mixed veggies. My doctor told me that I could substite either lunch or dinner with a Slim Fast or something high in protein, which I did, and I had gas all night! Ugh!
Even with all those issues, I managed to stay below my daily recommended caloric intake. I'm still trying to work in working out, but I stay soooo busy. I've changed a few little things like parking far away and not sending instant messages at work just so I can walk to the person I need to speak to. I suppose the little things count.
Ok, so I broke down and ate fried baby shrimp last night. Not much though, maybe about a cup. They tasted sooooo good...
I will never do that again!
I'm not quite sure which drug (HCG or Phentermine) that those lil shrimp did not agree with, but boy o boy, I've never had a bowel movement that bad!!! TMI, I know, but I just wanted to let any one who reads this know that sticking to your diet is worth it because the consequences of messing up SUCK!!!!
Ok, so today was a hard day as you see in the post below....I couldn't bear to eat another peice of chicken, so I had shrimp...fried shrimp..I don't think I did too much damage...It was only about a cup of baby shrimp and the restaurant uses trans fat oil...the calorie counter I use says it was aproximately 300 calories ....let me stop, I think I'm making excuses...
Maybe I wasn't so hungry yesterday because I was busy cleaning my house from top to bottom. But today, I just can't get it together....
I haven't faultered, thank goodness, but I feel like if I don't eat something quick I'm going to hurt somebody!!!!!!
The doc says I can take a whole Phentermine tablet tomorrow, so hopefully that will kill the hunger pains....
I think I need to talk to him to about my diet, too...me and chicken aren't going to be friends very long...my stomach flips whevener the thought of eating chicken AGAIN crosses my mind
And this is only DAY 2...(and I haven't messed up yet...pray for me)
