(not that it is very warm here!!) I thought we could start a wee discussion on what we are doing to get our summer body on?? I know the world cup may keep us lifting beer to our mouths as our only work out but maybe we can motivate each other to try and ket in shape, so when those swimming trunks come out, or bikinis, we won't be SHY!! I am not a big runner so I am rowing, and boxing and keeping a food diary... AND i got a hold of some reductil!!! so feeling positive I will hit realistic targets!! Can't wait to hear from you, DISCO xxx Isabella1@ 06-17-2010 @ 2:37 PM                           reply Member Joined: Oct 2009 Well i have been wrapped up in my reductil, so pleased i got a hold of some. Other than that, i am planning some fun things for me and my partner, weekend here and there.  I would like to go somewhere hot and beachy but quiet to rest and recouperate!! Any recommendations? I am have stepped up my training and planning meals, trying not only to eat less but changing my eating for good...

You both are so positive, and I realise how far I have fallen since I stopped taking xenical. I hate myself for wanting to eat all the fatty foods I've denied myself for so long. I just feel so far away from my forum friends. I've really fallen behind and it's so depressing. Isabella1@ 06-23-2010 @ 12:36 PM                           reply Member Joined: Oct 2009 WHITTLE!! step away from the fatty foods!!  I understand where you are, I have been there.  It's so frustrating but you have to understand where you are and WHY you are doing these things. When you DEPRIVE yourself of the junk food we all LOVE, we then crave then a trigger is set off that we must eat all the food we love, our subconcious will then see that we are 'happy' by eating all the foods we have been depriving ourselves of and so the downward spiral begins. YOU have to empower yourself to choose what you eat.  Have the doghnut, have the crisps, but you choose to then move on, and have a healthy dinner. YOU must want to do this.  YOU can. I know that I will have always  have a battle on my hands for the rest of my life, what is changing is my empowerment and the help of reductil!! GO to reductilbymail. place your order, take control. Whittle we all have ebb and flows. you got this girl!! Come on, take control of your life. Big love and keep talking to us!!!

I've already reined in the eating, even though the reductil that I've ordered isnt going to arrive for a few days. But there is barely a fattening food that I havent eaten over the last few weeks, so I feel like I've gorged myself on everything. Hopefully I wont crave anything going forward, once I start the reductil again. Big doughy croissants were really my weakness. I ate them everyday - they're quite cheap at my supermarket. but no more from now on! Isabella1@ 06-24-2010 @ 12:50 PM                           reply Member Joined: Oct 2009 it's a step in the right direction Whittle! Try and think of it this way, what i have realised about myself is when i deprive myself of something, there will come a time when i will go nuts and eat it till i pop, kinda like your doughy croissants... Maybe you allow yourself one, just once a week... and for the rest of the day you are very good about your eating??? it may help to stop the vicious circle of depriving the going bananas and craving it till you can't control it?? I cannot say not to chips, especially fish andnchips, covered in salt and vinegar... everyfriday my partner who has the best metabolism ever (i hate him for it) wants fish and chips...i cannot resist.  I get them but wont over eat.  that day i go to the gym, have a great workout, then i eat fish and chips, if i don't i make him give me a mouthfull of fish and handful of chips... so it's a reward system.... i dunno if it will work...but it's worth a try. anyway whittle, when does your reductil order arrive? issy xx    Rose1 06-24-2010 @ 2:01 PM                           reply Member Joined: Sep 2009 i cant help but envy the support here. my summer challenge: get out of my elasticated trousers and into normal ones....

Fatlotofgood, reductil will make you lose weight without exercising.  obviously you lose more if you exercise... but as you cannot it will curb your appetite.   will you always be in pain? can you do light yoga?

Because I have a little taste of it, but I dont want to gorge myself on it. Xenical took a lot of willpower, because I still felt hungry and had big cravings. But recently I just ate for England. With absolutely no control. That's why I know my only hope is reductil, so thank goodness reductilbymail started selling. It's been very good timing for me indeed. Fat lot of Good, I didnt exercise much to begin with and the weight still came off. I then did start to do some yoga and I bought some hand weights and went for the odd run. It must be difficult for you to be so static.
