I Finally Ordered Them...

Well, finally I sucked it up and ordered the Phentramin. I'm kinda nervous, not knowing what to expect, since the phentermine worked so well for me. I read many of the posts/reviews, and it seems to be positive on many people. Hope it will work for me too. I will let you all know when I get them, and how it works! woohoo

Glad you got your order in.... hope it works well for you! How did you lose from 210 down to 152?

After I had my son I took Phentermine. Then I taught myself how to eat right, and the Phentermine helped control my cravings. My problem is I binge eat. Some days I do great- but others, I'll eat anything in sight, and I've been doing so since Memorial day again (started off and on, then blah, turned into a garbage disposal) so I need something to help me control myself, get me back on track. Even though I exercise, and walk every day, it's not helping. I quit smoking too, so I don't know if that's another trigger to my gain. I did actually get to my goal weight of 140, but I bumped myself back up again within two months! I have no clue what's going on w/ me, but I know I'm in a slump, and just feel I need something to at least make me "feel" like I am on track again b/c all I wanna do is eat and eat! Sorry for the long post, just needed to vent. Not many people understand b/c to them "I look fine". But last night I was at my son's greatgrandmother's house, and this is the second time she has said to me "You look like you're gaining some weight there". That just put the icing on the cake. There are so many other things she could have said to me, like, "I'm glad you quit smoking, went back to school, being a great mom, etc." Anything would have felt better than hearing those words.

Well, I ain't gonna tell a lie.. they aren't doing a darn thing for me...

Hi bubbysma- You quit smoking, you went back to school, you're being a great mom AND you lost 58lbs?! Pat yourself on the back and tell greatgranny to shut up! Don't beat yourself up over 12 lbs...you can take charge again because you've done it before. And don't be discouraged by nomos remark because it doesn't work for everyone. When you get the phentramin be positive and give it your best shot!

Yeah, I'm already prepared for the - and +. Thank you for being honest nomo, b/c I want to know how it works for everyone. I guess we will see. It can't hurt to try though, and then I will learn another lesson I guess, like I did w/ ordering the fake Phen. Thanx for the positive feedback squeekie. I need to hear that sometimes from other people from just telling myself that.

I agree once again! Remind yourself every day of all the good things you have accomplished. My guess is that a great-grandmother isn't going to learn too many new tricks and she really has earned the right to feel like she feels. But NOBODY has the right to be hurtful or rude.

Perhaps you can simply ask her not to mention weight, size, portions, foods, etc., if they relate to you because though you respect her feelings, it really hurts you.

Remember this life IS NOT ALL ABOUT WEIGHT!! Do the work you need to do for yourself in any order you like...work on positive self esteem when you need to.
The right to do that is one of the perks of being a grown-up!

I think that's what is hard for me, b/c my family and son's father's family still looks at me like I am a kid (which I technically am) compared to them. It's like I am stuck in the middle I guess if I had to look at it in my point of view and give you all the best example.
