So yesterday I started a appetite control medication my Dr prescribed after me asking for it. Why would I take it when there are so many ways of losing weight and not needing medication? Well its simple, STRESS! Yes, that's right people, plain and simple, stress defeats me when it comes to losing weight.
Everyone is different and sometimes we just need a little boost to achieve our goals. I had zero energy, no desire to do anything and I was tired all the time. People might say its depression, but I don't think so. I get frustrated when I am trying to work hard towards something and no matter how hard I try and no matter what I do, being told that no I cant, I did the one thing I could do, eat.
I did do the Fat Loss for Idiots and I lost about 20 lbs, but I had a hard time getting over that slump. I think that when you have a larger goal than others when it comes to this subject, that is just something that is not the best to start with, maybe later after you get over that hump, but not just yet. Yesterday I took my first dose, and I completely understand why she told me NO COFFEE! WOW!!!!! There is no need for caffeine at all, this gives you a kick in the ass to get you going and makes you feel fantastic! Not only do I have more energy and feel hungry less, but I feel happier and finally want to focus on things that I had not been able to previously.
I know I have a long way to go, but I believe for myself I chose the right path to helping me achieve my weight loss goal. I know that once I can get past that hump I wasn't able to before, my confidence and will power will return, the stress will go down and I can look at things or people that stand in my way, and either conquer them or give them the finger basically and move on.
Like it or not, I am changing and for the good, so watch out world, I have goals to achieve!
Hi Janet,
ReplyDeletethank you for your honest post. I didnt know you struggle with your weight. I can understand your point that loseing weight is hard work and almost stressful when you have a fulltime job and kids to take care of.
I myself have too much of a respect to take such meds but I am happy that you take them under the control of the Doc. I really hope and I cross fingers for you Sweetie, that you reach your goal to loose weight.
HFor how long are you going to take these meds??

Hi dearest,
ReplyDeleteYeah I have for a few years now, I have tried so many things and it ends up coming back due to stress. So far so good. I will take them as long as I need to. She wants me to be evaluated in 4 months to check my progress but I feel great and more hopefull. After I get closer to my goal I believe it will be easier to maintain on my own. Thank you for commenting
