I Think I found Something..

So far this drug has been very effective for me. I have been doing a lot of research lately about weight loss and this new drug im taking, and found out being a drug that works by affecting the brain… it is very benign. I have spoken with several different girls on a couple of forums who have used it, and only a few said they experienced mild cases of nausea, but no increase in depression or anxiety. This is very promising information and has my hopes as high as they have been in years. Could I have possibly found a drug that works for me?, That I don’t despise taking?
It would be a relief to finally find something that works for me. I have read cookbooks that claim if you follow their program you will lose weight. Listened to sleep tapes that told me by simply “plugging in” at night, you will experience weight loss. I also have read several Aromatherapy books, self-hypnosis books all geared toward expressing how important it is to be skinny. Non of these worked, however I have learned a lot in the process to lose weight.
My journey will continue until I complete my objective, or until I go crazy avoiding all my favorite foods and eventually crack!!! J still helps me with shopping because he understands me. Trust me, I know how lucky I am to have any form of support, especially a friend like him.
I Intend on reaching my goal…No Matter What!!!!!

Back On Track…

I was reluctant to continue blogging because I have been really depressed throughout the end of July. I stopped taking the remainder of my phentermine I had. I was also hesitant to begin taking this new drug I ordered online called Acomplia.

I received my Acomplia and have been taking it on a steady basis for the past 2 weeks. My appetite has really gone down, more so then when I was taking Phentermine. Over the past 2 weeks, I have officially lost 3 pds!!!! Yayyy!

I am actually becoming confident about this medication because I am yet to see any real side affects (cross your fingers for me:). This is all happening later then I was hoping. At this rate MAYBE I can lose 16 more before the Wedding!! (I wish) I also decided to use my new AMEX card to celebrate this small milestone and I went shopping with my best friend J. We went to the mall and I realized how much I hate shopping in such a public place.

For one, all the stores use skinny models. That just drove me insane. They weren’t the bone-thin “regular” models, but the ones that are called “plus-size models”, ones that weigh like 120 or 140, which is by no means a heavy girl, if you ask me. I definitely wasn’t going to look like that in my dress! However I bought some clothes that I feel really comfortable in and it turned out to be a very uplifting day. Maybe I will reach my goal by the 27th of September after all.
Update coming soooooon!
