Today it has been one month since I started take D, can't believe how quickly time has flown by! And it has not been bad at all, lost 900 gr last week so all and all it is a 6kg loss for the month. So last week I decided to take dairy out of my diet as much as possible, it was quite a...

Week 3 with a loss of 800gr – whoopee. But without being to sarcastic or unappreciative I will take the loss no matter how small over a gain any time. I had to do some shopping for my summer wardrobe and the emotions were twofold: first being elated that in some shops I actually fit in a size...

Week 2 is done, dusted and I lost 1.7kg. What is absolutely magic for me is that I’m not constantly obsessing over food: what am I going to eat, when am I going to eat, and what am I craving for today? Now it is just a question of I am hungry, let’s eat something healthy and carry on with the...

Things I look forward to when I’m a decent, healthy weight: 1. Not being sweaty in summer, by this I mean being able to wear cooler clothes. 2. Actually feeling cold in the winter. So embarrassing we everybody else is freezing and you don’t know what the fuss is about. My fat keeps me very...

First it was the obsession with food: “What am I going to eat?”, “When can I eat again?”, “Why am I eating?”, and all the other questions that came with that. Now on Duromine, the obsession has changed to the digits on the scale: “Must I weigh myself every day?”, “How much will I lose?” and...

This is harder to start type then what I had imagined so let’s just get straight to it. I’m 34 years old, 1.74cm tall and weigh in at 130km (sounds like a boxing match). Well it is definitely going to be a fight, me vs. the fat. I have always been overweight but this is an all-time high...
