Okay, I will give a very short history so that you know where I'm coming from...where I've been...and where I will go in the future....

I am 32 years old. I think that I've had problems with my weight since graduating high school. I have tried every diet imaginable....Weight Watchers, Atkins, Southbeach, fad diets, diet pills...on and on and on. Some of them actually worked a little bit but I always ended up gaining the weight back...plus more. You know how that goes.
About two years ago I experienced a terrible break up from a 4 year relationship. I was devastated and went into an awful depression. I couldn't eat. I just couldn't. I could barely get up and go to work. Anyway....I lost 40 pounds very quickly. It was so unhealthy but I have to admit that I loved how I looked and how I felt with that weight off. I actually have managed to keep the weight off for the past couple of years, eating healthy smaller portions and exercising more.
Then about six months ago I went through another very stressful situation involving my son. When I say stressful...I mean, it almost broke me...but it didn't. I survived!! AND GAINED ALMOST ALL OF MY WEIGHT BACK!!! :(

So, here I am. I have researched Hoodia Gondonii Plus thoroughly. I spoke with my physician about it. And now I just purchased a six month supply. I made sure that I got the real stuff because I read about all the scams.

I am going to journal my progress here and I am hoping so much that I meet some people to help me through and maybe be able to help them also. Thank you all ahead of time for your support. I hope to be a source of friendship and support for you also.

Okay, here it goes:

6/5/06

Current weight: 178 (yuck)
Height: 5'7"
Goal weight: 145
33 pounds to lose

I took two Hoodia pills this morning with water at 7:30 am. It is now 11:37 and the only thing I have eaten is a container of low fat yogurt with 250 calories. This is major, because I usually eat breakfast (something unhealthy like a donut or cinnamon roll). I then usually snack constantly at my desk while working....chips, crackers, candy...anything I can snack on. I think that is my biggest problem.
I am drinking my water and no matter how "suppressed" my appetite gets, I am going to eat healthy and not starve myself because I know what happens when I do that. Once I go off the pills, I will be hungry and will not have learned to control my own eating and portions. So, I will watch what I eat, eat healthy foods and smaller portions and just use Hoodia to help me with this.
I am going to take two more pills in about an hour and then two more around 5:00.

Thank you for listening. I am so excited about this and hoping to lose my weight in a healthy way.
 
Welcome to the forum and i know you can do this!
 
best of luck!!! you obviously know EXACTLY what you need to do... I'm an emotional eater too.... it took a long while after I had my baby to start losing weight because my PP depression was sooo terrible that I just had no motivation to get back in shape....
 
Day 2

Thank you all for such wonderful and supportive comments!! That means so much to me.

I woke up in a really good mood today!! I weighed and I have lost 2 pounds!! YAY!! I know thats probably all water weight because I drank so much water yesterday that I thought I would float away, but still.....2 pounds is 2 pounds..!!

CW: 176
GW: 145

2 pounds lost
31 pounds to go!!

I ate really healthy yesterday. Grilled fresh fish and asparagus (my favorite) for dinner. It was yummy. I have also been drinking tons of water. I think thats the key.

Has anyone else had any experience with Hoodia? It seems to really suppress my appetite.

Have a wonderful day and thank you again for being so supportive!! :D
 
Emotional Eater

Hi One Hot Mama......I sympathize with you completely on the emotional eating. I don't really eat when I am sad or depressed but mostly when I am lonely or bored. I have had a lot of alone time after my relationship and thats when I seem to eat the most. I snack a lot!! I can literallly sit there and eat a whole bag of chips, or pretty close. Its not healthy.
Good luck on your goal. I know you can do it!!
 
Day 3

Well, I don't think yesterday went as well as it should have. I did drink my water but my friend at work begged me to go get a Gyro for lunch. Any idea how fattening they are? All it is....is meat and pita bread with some sauce. It seems healthy enough, but I'm not sure. And then I got home and I was absolutely exhausted and my neighbors wanted my son and I to go get Panda Express with them. So, I got Shrimp with Pineapple and orange chicken. The shrimp was healthy because it was not fried but I know the Orange Chicken was terribly bad for me.
One good thing is that I have not been eating ANYTHING after dinner at night. Usually I would eat ice cream or chips and sometimes I would even eat a sandwich and chips before going to bed. I haven't been hungry at all after dinner. They say that you shouldn't eat anything for 3 hours before you lay down for the night. That way, your body has time to digest it. So, nothing for me after 7:00pm.
Today is day 3 and I took my Hoodia pills this morning. For some reason they are not suppressing my appetite as well as they have the past couple of days. I just took my noon ones an hour early because I am hungry.
Well........I didn't weigh today because I don't want to get discouraged if I lost nothing. SO...maybe I'll have a better day today and I'll weigh tomorrow morning.
 
keep going
