Not sure I can do this
Posted , 5 users are following.
first off all, hi to everyone, i have been reading posts, but registered yesterday. I started orlistat 8 weeks ago, and have only lost 6lbs.
i finding it very difficult, as i suffer with Depression, Arhtritis, and Fibromalgia. I lost my job due to this, 3 years ago. Hence weight gain, but ive always been a larger lady for many years.
Im at the stage where i hate looking at myself, my self esteem is rock bottom.
To be honest, i get no side effects from tablets, a bit of wind but nothing to worry about.
Im just dissapointed, at just a 6lb loss, and i dont think im in the right frame of mind, my health etc, to 100% into orlistat.
Sorry for rabbiting on, but im sure some of you understand.
Regards,
Gfd.

DON'T GIVE UP NOW!
1 more pound and you will have lost half a stone Make that your next target and anything over will be a bonus.

6lbs off is better than on and everyone is different in terms of how quick they loose weight, some people loose lots in the first week or 2 then struggle to after and some loose slowly but surely
with the arthritis and fibromyalgia how active can you be? being active helps with the weight loss but obviously we can only do what we can do.
have you tried the green tea and small apple ideas to try and boost your metabolism?

We all get down hearted now and then but please DON'T GIVE UP - I know it must be frustrating but look at it this way if you continue to lose 6LB every 8 weeks within in a year you will lose 2 1/2 Stone. How many of us diet year after year wishing we had stuck to it only to look around and find oursleves no further forward. So my message is one year is not such a long while and 2 1/2 stone in one year is fantastic so your on the right track.

As a sufferer of depression I can understand how you feel. But like the girls said 6lb off is better than on, and its a loss, and thats what you want.
Stick at it, we are all in the same boat here, and we will all support you. I find if i keep a history of what i am eating it helps.
Green tea is also good, i put a bit of honey in mine to make it taste nicer.
Chin up YOU CAN DO THIS.
