One Month In

Dear Baby,

As of today, I am officially one month in on the taking of Phentermine to help kick-start my weight loss so that I can be a healthier mama. Now, I know of the effects that it can have on a baby but they are VERY low and I don't plan on taking this past the prescribed amount of time by Dr. Mc {my physician}.

As of this weeks weigh in, I have lost a total of 9.7 lbs this month. I can't tell you how happy this makes me. I am back over the amount that I was at just a year ago.

At the end of the school year, I set a goal to work on losing 15 lbs before we started back to school on August 27th. At this point, I still have almost  weeks to lose another 5.3 lbs. At this point, I totally think that I can do this because of the success I have seen so far.

I have been using Phentermine as well as eating a healthy diet. Phentermine has given me super amounts of energy but I am also experiencing the down side of not wanting to sleep at night despite taking it first thing in the morning with breakfast. At the weight I am now, I am right around 1800 calories a day according to My Fitness Pal.

I will be honest, there are days I just don't want to eat. I don't feel like anything tastes good, I don't crave things, I don't have the urge to satisfy my hunger. Then there are times that my stomach gets to the point that if I don't eat right then, it might be the end of the world as we know it. I feel full at every meal and know how much my body can handle. I can tell things are changing and it's all for the better.

All of this is done out of my love and desire to have happy, healthy baby to bring into our family.

Love,

Future Baby Mama
