I have only been on Phen for 2 days now.
Here is my story.
Four years ago I had lost 45 pounds and I was down to 200. I was well on my way to feeling great about myself. Then I got sick. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I was put on prednisone and later a couple of the MS drugs. I developed an allergy to the MS drugs and went to see a specialist. Imagine my surprise (after living with MS for 3 years) when the doctor told me that he needed to retest me.
It turns out I was misdiagnosed by 2 previous doctors. I actually had a B12 vitamin deficiency and Crohn's disease. Now that I am being treated I am doing great. It looks like I am going to make a full recovery.
But I let myself go over those 3-4 years. I gave up on myself. Now I want to get my life back. I am hoping that I can change my body and my life.
I just had neck surgery in November to replace a protruding disk, so I have to limit some of my movements. But after all that I have been through, I know that I should be able to lose weight! It is time for me to stop limiting myself. It is time for me to feel good about myself again!
I starting dieting and exercising in January and I have lost 27 pounds doing that. Now that I have started Phen I hope I will be able to get the weight off quicker and get to a weight where exercise will be less difficult.
In the last 2 days on Phen, I have eaten about 1/3 as much as I normally would have. My body is not hungry, but I am still eating small meals to keep my metabolism going. THe problem is that my head is telling me something different than my body. I find that while I am not physically hungry...mentally or emotionally I still want food.
Food has been a comfort to me in the past. I am struggling with how to get my head to the same place as my body. I have to find a way to stop my emotional eating.
I am happy to have you all on this journey with me!
