Thininsides Diary

This is certainly not the 1st day that I have been here but its the 1st day that I am going to start a journal. I am 32 years old, married and have to great kids (8 year old son and 9 month old daughter) I started on Phentermine back in March and have lost about 25 punds tiill now but I know that I could have lost more if I had gotten off my fat ... everyday and did something about it. But now I am ready to buckledown and get serious. My wonderful hubby is so supportive and never has anything negative to say. Mind you he is very underweight, only 115 pounds. He only weighed 4 pounds full term at birth so he is just naturally a tiny person. When we got together back in 92 I was 120 and a size 4. I have always gone up and down with my weight. He has seen me at my smallest (4) and my heaviest (26). I am curently weighing in at 203 now and have a short term goal to be 197 by Sept. 10th. Hope I am not being to unrealistic. :eek: Today I did burn 647 cals today on the elliptical in 40 minutes so that was not too bad. I am having a root cananl tomorrow and they plan on putting me to sleep so I guess we will see how that goes and I doubt I will feel up to doing anything. But if I get up at the crack of dawn when my hubby leaves I guess I can do it then. Wont matter if I get up early because I plan on taking a nice IV induced nap later that day. :smt015 Well I shall sign off for now.

Welcome thinside. Good luck on your root canal tomorrow. I had one a few years ago.

Thank you 3T. I hate getting it done and had them done a few years ago when I lived in Bangladesh but the dentist had no idea what he was doing and really screwed up my teeth and I have been terrified ever since to go back and have them worked on. Atleast this time I know I am in good hands.

Welcome to the forum! Don't worry about the teeth as long as you have a good dentist. Tell him all your fears and worries and he will understand. Believe me, dentists are better than psychologists - they have seen everything!
Size 4 to size 26 - that's yo-yo dieting that I am very familiar with. Hopefully, this time is the last time for you - great for doing all the exercise and having a realistic goal. I am sure you will be there!

Welcome to the forum girlfriend!!! Man oh man.... if you get your teeth worked on you won't be eating much.. so that's always a good way to lose a pound or two extra for the next weigh in. I'll be thinkin about you tomorrow!

Thanks for thinking about me tomorrow. Funny thing is I had a weigh in with the doc this past monday and canceled it and said I will wait till next monday knowing damn well I was having work done on my teeth and I would not eat this weekend. haha hope that it works I will certainly keep you posted. Where are you stationed? I thought I read somewhere that you were at Bragg but I am not sure. That is where a friend of mine is stationed. We met in Alaska way back when. Sleep good.

Hope your root canal went well and you are not in too much pain. I lived on smoothies and yogurt for the first few days afterwards.
