Dieting Updates

Well it has been a little more than a week since I officially started taking Alli. I started a week ago last Friday. I was a bit aprehensive about taking it because of what I have heard about it. Luckily I can say that I have not had any adverse treatment effects. I have been very cautious about how much fat I have been eating and I believe that this has helped. I think I am starting to get into a rhthym of things but I can see that I need to start branching out so that I do not get bored.

I have lost a total of 9 pounds. This is since January 28th, so that works out to about 4.5 pounds per week! I think this is pretty good. I will only have to keep going for 2 years to get to where I want to be. Well not quite two years, but close. I will have to keep praying and taking it one day at a time.

I think one of the best things that I have done is taking lunch and snacks to work. This has kept me from getting so hungry that I eat everything in sight. I have been doing the Healthy Choice lunches or something similiar. Apples, carrots, yogurt and pretzels have replaced Geta, McDonalds and the like. I feel better and would probably have more energy if I wasn't burning the candle at both ends because of work. At least I have not let the stress get to me like I used to.

I think that the Alli has helped me because I don't dare eat something that I shouldn't. I would be mortified if I had to rush to the bathroom while interviewing a client! I will keep taking it just for that reason if it continues to work for me. I just need to branch out and look for lowfat reciepes so that the whole family is eating the same thing.
