My healthy eating initiative went really well for a few months. I then had one weekend of eating frenzy.
The spell was broken and I went back to my horrible eating habits.
About a month ago I went to see my PCP and spoke to her about how I was feeling etc. She gave me a script for phentermine. I held onto it for a few weeks without filling it, thinking again that I could do this on my own. Apparently I was wrong.
So I have been taking it now for about a week or so. I feel better. I have not allowed myself onto the scale because I was afraid that if I did not see sufficient movement that I would sabotage myself.
I have been doing pretty well watching what I eat etc. But trying not to deny myself something I want so I don't go overboard later.
I have joined a support group on facebook, and as of today started tracking on MyFitnessPal.com.
I highly recommend this site. It tracks food, exercise, goals, etc. It is 100% free.
