Ive been taken xenical for about 5 weeks now, and i have lost 1 stone, so im happy, still about 5 stone to go.
Im going to mexico for 2 weeks on an all inclusive in 2 weeks time. I will try and eat healthy but in all reality i dont stance a chance.
Should i take the xenical in mexico knowing i will probably eat unhealthy.... and run the chance of you know what --- (has happened twice already in my 5 week - after having a pizza)
Or should i just take a break from it for 2 weeks, knowing i wont be able to stay good and just continue when i get back
so..
1) continue taking and prob crap myself, but will control my weight abit better
2) take a break for 2 weeks and continue when i get back
I honestly dont know what to do. please advise. As i said I will try and eat healthy out there but with free food and alcohol it will be difficult
Think of it like this henry - DO YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT? there is a reason you bought the xenical in the first place. Don;t go and break it , use this as a learning curve in changing your eating habits, otherwise when the xenical runs out you will just put on all the weight again.
I hope this helps but I truly believe in order to really change your life you need to really start, not just half start then take a break...
As a xenical taker, I completely sympathise with you Henry. especially when you are going on holiday and you want to eat and enjoy yourself! I came off xenical for a few weeks as I had done really well, and wanted to see if I could maintain my weight or even continue to lose it, by just sticking to healthy eating. It piled back on. I was shocked by how quickly it happened. It was my fault really, as I had a blow out, knowing that there werent going to be any accidents. But the feeling of seeing the scales was so disappointing. It completely undermined all the hard work I had done! I went back on xenical and am back on the right track now, just about reaching the weight I was before I stopped taking them. If I was you - and I know you don't want to hear this! - I would stick with it, and try to keep eating low fat. I've been to mexico - and I loved Ceviche. Its a dish of fish, cooked in lemon juice and it's delicious! That's just the kind of thing I would eat out there on this. Give it a try for a few days out there, and see how you go. 2 weeks is a long time to put on a lot of weight if you come of xenical...
