For me it has made me think about the food im eating before i eat it, whereas before id stuff it all in regardless.since being on them im amazed at how much fat i did still eat before even when i was \"dieting\" and thort i was doing ok!!!!How much sugary foods i was eating too.Its made me re educate myself bout food and eating where before i cudnt be bothered and always said.............tomorrow ill do it tomorrow....lol.Now if i dont stik to it there are nasty reminders that i shud of!! be interestig to read everyones thoughts

Its a god send..... makes you think what you eat, read the labels and cook from stratch. Given me loads of confidence that I can actually do this and now walk/run with a smile (not collapsed in a heap)
To everyone keep up the good work

The tabs have given me HOPE.... Hope that I didn't have before :D
Everything I was doing was not helping and the weight wasn't shifting at all - but I think like you that although I was on \"a diet\" I wasn't really conscious of what I was eating and cheated a hell of a lot.
Now I try my hardest not to cheat and try to do more exercise.
Good question to ask though.

Like everyone else I also think that it makes you far more aware of what you are actually eating. Taking the tablet motivates you to eat more sensibly or suffer the consequences!! I also cook far more from scratch instead of buying convenience foods - would have had things like McDonalds breakfast and fish and chips in the evening - but now have porridge and meat and veg for dinner and things like that. I also drink a lot more water and exercise more.
Hope everyone who takes these tablets has loads of success.

I describe Orlistat as antabuse for 'fat' folk lol, yes I've fallen off the wagon a fair few times and omitted my tablet on several occasions, but like everyone says it makes me think about it first!!
K :D

I have only been on them for almost 3 weeks but I too have realised what all those little extras we put in our mouths add up to. I don't have a problem saying no to chocolates in the staffroom, or a couple of biscuits at break time now coz I know the consequence. :oops:
I have basically lived on one long 'diet' for years I'd loose a few ponds put soon put them plus more back on, I no longer snack between meals and eat much healthier.
I know I've lost weight as my clothes are a little looser,Can't wait for people to notice though!!!
