Hey gang!

I'm Cindi, I'm 33, and a mom to two very goofy boys, ages 5 and 7. And I'm stuck in southern Illinois. I originally went into losing weight out of vanity. I was all cute 'n stuff before kids... GAH! Then, after lots of talking with my doctor, and all kinds of tests, I dropped the vanity idea, and decided I wanted to live to see my kids grow up. The potential heart issues, my family history of adult diabetes, etc, scared me.

Well, I'll be honest, some of it is still vanity. And, ummmm its more cost effective to be smaller! Right? O.o I want to get out of the "fat section" and into normal clothes! "Plus sizes $2 more". See what I mean? Hehehe

Anyway, my doctor prescribed me some phentermine stuff, and limited me to 1200 calories a day *hears the tummy grumble*, and keeping a food diary, monthly weigh ins with her, etc. I kid around with my friends and refer to it as "prescription anorexia". I know, I know, eating disorders aren't REALLY funny, but I'm trying to be upbeat about this. I have all the willpower of an ANT, so here I am!!

Wish me luck! *crosses fingers*
