A life changing journey

[thebig30]

Hi all,
I am a lipotrim first timer. I am on day 18 and I have been 100% and lost a stone. Which I should be over the moon about!!

I am an emotional eater, food was my security and my friend. If someone hurt me food would comfort me etc. But as things started to get out of hand ( I couldn't stop thinking about food it consumed me) I would be having my breakfast and thinking about what I'd have for lunch and wonder how long I would have to wait till then. I had a hunger I couldn't suppress because it wasn't hunger at all, it was feelings of loneliness, self loathing and extremely low self esteem.

I have had a few very abusive toxic relationships, one which ended before Christmas(when I physically had to throw him out of my home) I am a very proactive person and very black and white it's all or nothing! I have started counselling and am on medication for depression and yes people think I'm made to throw another thing like lipotrim on the pile as they think I have enough to deal with.

But I am doing all of this because I want to change my life for good! So why not do it now! I am a very strong person and I am extremely stubborn when I put my mind to something!

I have found lipotrim great so far and until now easy! But the last two days I have noticed my mood drop extremely low and I feel very down in myself, also my glans and throat have been sore with zero energy and it made me start to think about stopping that maybe it is all too much, but I really don't want to! I am going to see my GP tomorrow and maybe my meds need to be adjusted.

I think this site is amazing and I have been reading some of your stories and find you all such an inspiration and you keep me motivated!

Thank you
X

Hi well done for the first stone it's great you should be proud and don't forget IRS still just the beginning of your journey.

As you mention you are strong and this diet will test you at times but just think of your goals and the extra confidence you'll garner from the program.

Sorry to hear your personal life has been tricky but you've survived it and like they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger so use that knowledge to get you through the next few weeks!

This forum is great I don't think I could be into my third week without it xx anytime you want a chat I'll always try to reply x good luck and keep it up

Oh also I totally get what you mean regarding thinking about what you could eat next. I was totally like that when gran dropped off sack loads of treats for kids I'd look through to see what I could eat. As you say as soon as brekkie was done I'd be planning my elevenses.

As for not feeling well I had the exact same thing swollen glands and sore throat I just spent one day doing nothing but resting (and still losing weight how cool is that!) and made sure I drank my shakes regularly and took lots if water and I soon felt fine.

Don't give up you can do it - see your doc and check for infection if all is well push through it and you'll be ok on a day or two.

Hope you feel better soon x

Thank you, so much for your reply. I really don't want to stop so unless my doctor says so I am not quitting!!

Yeah it's mad how this diet gets you to see how food had taken over! Well I'm in control now and will stay that way with or without lipotrim!

Sorry what is IRS?
