I'm losing weight by eating less - not MASSIVELY less - I don't mean I'm starving myself. But I'm stopping when I feel slightly full - not stuffing myself. Just slowly reducing the amoung I eat. I eat like a horse normally.
I'm finding that my stomach is needing less food to get full, so I must be doing something right.
Yesterday we went out for a curry and I could only manage half, I was well full. Brought the rest home for my tea today hehe! (saves money too).
I've lost 5lbs so far. It's a slow process (it's been about 3 weeks or so - maybe 4) so far, but it's coming off. And I'm not denying myself foods I like, just eating less in general.
Sorry I'm waffling lol.
Point is you don't need diet pills hun
Well done Xena thats really admirable.
Im glad your off those nasty pills Dionne. This thread has upset me a bit because I have suffered for years with obsessional eating and it really gets me down when people say eating disorders are 'childish'.
I was very poorly and I know il always have problems, mine stems from a childhood phobia. I wont go into it any more, I know no body meant any offence.
It just saddens me to think you cant eat Dionne and its been brought on by these pills. Its things like these that give people problems and when you have had been poorly through obssessional eating it just upsets me to see people who take these pills to lose weight when I am aware of a lot of suffering that surrounds this issue.
I hope I dont offend any one with this post. I just feel so strongly about it because eating disorders/obssesional eating habits can make people so very poorly and id HATE to see any one else go through it.
Hugs to you Dionne, I hope you feel better soon
