I want to encourage you all. I am a Christian and do not wish to offend anyone wiht my words. I emailed this to someone on here and I felt uplifted even and decided to post it as encouragement to anyone that needs to feel a little extra love and tenderness..... Yesterday was my first appointment with the doctor. He wanted to start me on 15mg and I said NO WAY i want 37.5...he suggested working my way up for a few months. I tried a 2 day sample of the 37.5 and I was ok. The concern with the doctor was the anxiety it causes when starting out and getting used to the phentermine. Yes I was no quite an emotional roller coaster an hour after I had taken it. I have had extreme panic attacks in the past so severe that when driving i have had to pull over because i felt like the road would just swallow me up. When i started feeling the effects of the pill I took note that I went from Giddy, to sad and weepy, a chatter box and full of anxiety just as if i was having one of the worst panic attacks ive ever had. After about 3 hours it went away. I had NO craving for food whatsoever for 2 full days. I did not eat until the 3rd day. It stayed in my system that long and was a long lasting effect. I had so much energy to finish many undone tasks and my outlook on the future weightloss made me feel as i was on top of the world. (my cousin that has been taking phentermine 37.5 for 4 months went from a 12 to a size 2 since January.) She gave me the pill to try. After the 3rd day of pill #1 I had a meal and ate in extreme moderation. Day 4 I took the next pill and again I had no desire to eat and the smell of food made me feel sick. I was able to sit in a restaurant more then twice and have wonderful conversation without temptation or craving the food. I did not eat again for almost 3 days...it's like I forgot about food. The Doctor that I saw yesterday gave me the 37.5 against his initial judgement but I assured him if I can handle massive panic attacks I will be fine. I used to be a size 0 until I had children first one 7 yrs ago. I lost a total of 20 lbs so far with only 2 pills of the phentermine since May 19th. I asked the dr. if a diet of under 1000 cal. a day is ok and I was told that as long as I don't feel sick it should be fine. the body stores enough fat that your not going to die from going hungry ( i have no hunger pains) eat at the same time every single day. Make lunch the largest meal and dont eat after 6pm is what I was told. I have been on a diet of grapefruit in the morning and have to force myself to eat lunch because i'm not hungry and I have a piece of salmon about the size of a filet mignon. I grill it with no seasonings and almost overcook it because in a non stick pan it gives it lost of flavor that way. in the evening either about 36 oz of water with some crystal light in it or a slim fst. Unless it is raining I walk 3 miles a day. My dr said that if you take the pill and go to bed and waste the day away being lazy you will not lose. the more active the more the pill helps to increase the metabolism. He told me to be very strict with my intake of food and allow a splurge about 3 times a month with a favorite meal and exercise double on the next two to three days as to not have weight gain. I am so determined. I cant stand my body the way it is...This morning was my first official dose of phentermine. now the matter of the dosage and the color of the pill...I have been told by other people that i know that use it pills other then one I will describe does not have the same positive effect that the 37.5 white with blue specks small oval pill has. Ive been told the capsules dont feel the same and the person taking them feels a huge difference between the two. in fact discouraging anything other then the 37.5 I am so sorry for this being such a long post still have tons of energy even after midnight...took the pill at 7am. I cleaned out my fathers garage ..spent 5-6 hours on it today and the time passed so quickly and I felt sooo refreshed and good ...its the most wonderful feeling in the world. I will wait till Sunday to weigh myself to hopefully see the difference. My doctor said that he has seen many cases where someone loses between 45-50 lbs in one month. That is through daily exercise and controlled meals. tell yourself that you are a child of the most High. Be Glory and dominion and power over your life. Trust in Him and ask God for spiritual blinders on the things that are tempting to you and rebuke the devil with the negative thoughts and when you hear that voice say I cant do this....turn it around and open the windows of heaven. God will pour out a blessing to overflow in your life. Our bodies are temples. My temple is in demolition state so I had to do something about it. Its by Gods grace through Christ Jesus that I am alive and all that He has given me I have to take back what I allowed the devil to steal away. the last 7 yrs of being fat i've heard...your so beautiful on the inside the outside does not matter. NOT TRUE...it matters just as much....I want to be pretty again for my children, my people in staff under me in my worship team and my husband and family. Pretty starts from within. Create habits that form a new lifestyle. When you have temptation email me...kathleensteiner****.com I'm on here all the time and will answer in less then 24 hours. Being on the road to beauty and healthy living is not easy. The trial makes us stronger and gives us the drive to strive for the things that are good ahead of us. Be determined and full of joy that is unspeakable. In all of your deeds make sure to do something daily to pamper yourself..whether it be a wonderul bath...DONT save that fancy bath salt for "something special" Make EVERY DAY special. Spoil yourself with personal attention...Go try on clothes and bask in the feelings of accomplishment with more pounds lost. Let it push you to go further to reach your goal. DOn't feel your goal is unrealistic. If you set it you have some sort of dream and determination to make it a reality ...learn to follow through with the choices you make for the changes in your life. Self acceptance and self love mean so much. Those that don't have self respect or a sense of love for themselves cannot love others wholeheartedly. use the mcdonalds money that you would have normally spent daily or weelky and buy some pretty flowers to brighten up the room you spend the most time in and get some scented oils and an oil burner. This helps to make you feel even better. Encourage others so that you are also listening to your words to encourage yourself. Don't live in shame of how you feel for the way you may look now....it's just a shell of what you will be able to say...I "Used" to look like....Instead live in sheer joy and be in love with life...
God bless all who read this and email me any time
Love to all of you on the road to beautiful
