Hi everyone. I've been reading through all of the topics, and have learned so much. I just started this week. Have 20 pounds to lose. I'm quite short, so the extra weight was making me sore and miserable. Honestly, I don't think that a doctor in the states would have prescribed phen for me. But I am obsessed with eating. So, I am going to give it a go! I just moved to london, and the stress really got to me and I put on more weight.
I'm enjoying the little high it gives me, and the energy to do things. I was really tired today, but I worked out and ate healthy, no excuses! And, stayed away from the chocolate. For the first time ever, I feel like I should be eating for fuel, and not because of my emotions. I'm tired of people saying that I would be pretty if I only dropped the weight. But I am doing this for me, and to start a healthier lifestyle.
Just wanted to check in, and say good luck to everyone. Keep sharing.

Hi Londonlady.
WELCOME! You will find so much support here. AT first I didn't think I could do this, but after reading some of these dear people's posts, I know I am not alone. Just reading through them keeps me motivated!
This is my first week here too. You will do great! I am also a stress eater! Being on phen this week has taken the desire to eat when I am stressed away, instead I have been giong outside or going for a walk instead of rummaging through the refridgerator.

BTW, You said, "I'm tired of people saying that I would be pretty if I only dropped the weight." That's what my mother tells me all the time! (She's not known for her tact, lol).

Welcome London!!!

You are going to LOVE it here

As Luv said...I check in everyday and just reading all the wonderful advice & inspirational posts keeps me motivated!!!

Responding helps me too, it's like, if I respond to a post and then ignore my OWN advice I'd be a hypocrit, and since I can't have that, it reminds me to behave

Good Luck!!!
