Jump Starting my Weight Loss with Adipex (gen)? Coupling with sensible diet and exercise.

amandaiams

Hello All! I've had an MFP account for some time but never really utilized it until now. What a mistake! I realize that I'm only hurting myself by not opening up and reaching out to others who are battling a similar fight. I'm 23 and just weighed in at 191 lbs today-an all time high and I'm so angry at myself.
I got married a year ago and my husband is currently deployed. I think there is a mixture of depression/boredom that has lead to this. And yes, laziness. I've no motivation other than work, school, home, eat, sleep, repeat. I really don't eat terrible or even large amounts except maybe I splurge and eat out at lunch with co-workers a few times a week. However, after seeing the strain on my pocket book, I have been bringing my lunch. Not too mention I tend to crave veggies and fresh food over pre-made food any day.

So I was discussing my weight issue with a couple of co-workers who used to take Adipex as their "cure all" pill, which I understand it isn't designed for that. But I'm frustrated and beginning to hate myself. I drink water, rarely have sodas. I had an ice cream last night and that is the first real sweet I've had in ages. I cook rather clean (veggies, tempeh, veggie pasta, quinoa) and the like. Clearly I'm not doing as good of a job as I thought or else my weight wouldn't have gotten so out of control.

At any rate, I'm eager to get in touch with people and get ideas and feed back about progress, recipes etc. I think I need support and would be grateful to anyone who can give constructive advice.

Peace!
