I am new to this, so new to this that I'm not sure what I am going to say here. One thing I know is that on Friday I went to my doctor and I weighed 200 pounds. At 5 foot 3 that isn't good news, especially when I'm 55 and a friend who is younger than me, and much thinner has just had a heart attack. And my blood pressure is high. My lovely doctor gave me Xenical and so now I am on my 4th day of taking it so here is my reason for this blog. I just want to write about it all.
The first day I lost 2 pounds and I really don't know why. Xenical is supposed to take 2 weeks to work.
I was first told to diet at age 10 so its surprising that I didn't turn anorexic in the end, though my daughter did. She's now 28 and is totally better, but it took years for her to recover and it wasn't much fun at all. It's good that we have such a good relationship now. I haven't yet told her about the Xenical, but I have told her older sister and my husband. I'm not sure if I will ever tell anyone else. It sounds so weak-willed. Perhaps if I lose 60 pounds though I will mention it.
I am finishing this here as I think I should perhaps look at what other people have done.
