So I skipped my first dose last week because I got hit hard by the flu.  Today felt like a fresh restart.  Two months in.  Another doubling of the dosage.  And yesterday I hit a huge threshold—down 10% of my starting body weight.  It’s still hard to believe this is working as well as it is.  The thing I am starting to realize is I did have everything set up the way I needed—the calorie counter, the busy lifestyle, the understanding of why my body craves.  What I was missing was the support.  And this drug does just that.  Eat too much—it guilts you with a stomach ache.  It’s the exact reminder I need to keep me on course.  It helps me not overeat—and if I do, it helps me not overeat much.

I still feel like I am losing a bit too fast.  I had slowed things down earlier in the month—but the flu kinda sped things back up.  Mostly my goal is to hold in the week ahead.  Although I must admit—hitting the 230s and then hitting 30 pounds down feel like such massive milestones, that I know I will have a hard time not trying to hit them.  I expect I will stay in the 230s for all of the month ahead and that is okay.  That feels like a great place to stabilize as we head out of summer and I prepare for the full dosage amounts of 1.7 and 2.4.  I also see my doctor at the end of the month and really don’t want him to stop the medication because I’m losing too fast.
