I have been to see my GP today about my ongoing health issues, I brought up my weight issues as that is contributing to my problems. Her suggestion is if I can lose at least a kg on my own in the next 4 weeks, she will prescribe orlistat. So now I am torn, I don't really want to resort to medication but I just feel as though I could do with a helping hand. I get stuck before I have got very far & lose heart too easy. I think if I could lose a stone (ish) I would start to feel better about myself & have some self respect. I really don't know whether this is the right thing to do though. I need to break the vicious circle I am in. Today for instance has gone great, eaten well, walked the kids to & from school (c3miles) and been busy, active & productive in the house. The temptation is to keep going & do a bit more but I have promised myself that I will not push myself excessively as I then become exhausted & flop & feel a failure. I have set a target to walk the school runs all week, next week to add in an extra walk or maybe 2. I am shattered tonight as my little girl is still not well so has wanted to be glued to my hip. I have achieved alot considering! If anyone out there has any experience of these meds please chime in, I know about the potential side effects, I think the fear would keep me on the straight & narrow!
Anyway, yesterdays weight was 209lbs so creeping nearer to my under the 200lb goal.
Cheerio for now blogland
