Hi Everyone!
I have officially started duromine yesterday and to track my progress I've decided to write a post on this thread each day.
I'm making this thread partly so I am held accountable and I can look back at this experience, and also the fact that if I can help even just one person by writing my experience on here, then it'll definitely be worth it. And if nobody else reads it I don't mind either
About me:
-21 years old
-165 cm tall
-Current BMI: 31
-Heaviest weight: 89.2 kg in May
-Current weight: 87.5 kg
-Goal weight: 60 kg
-Ultimate goal weight: 58 kg
I've always had a pretty small frame for my age. That was until around 2013 when I got insanely addicted to junk foods (mcdonalds, kfc, other fast foods, chips, coke, chocolate, cake, you name it).
The number of the scales kept getting bigger and bigger (and so was my stomach).
Being so addicted to food has ruined the last 3 years for me. I've hidden away in my room, I don't hang out with my friends, I don't do anything other than work and EAT. I feel like I don't have a real life and that I'm existing and not living.
I would do ridiculous things just to get junk food. Like hiding food in my room, or cutting the lining of my hand bag and hiding junk food in there so that I won't be judged if anyone sees it, I would pay my housemates over $20 each time just to drive me to the closest shops (just down the street) so i could buy junk food, I would eat so much that I felt sick but I would keep eating more so I wasn't wasting it. Sometimes, I would feel so sick I'd put the remaining junk food in my bin and spray perfume over it all so I wouldn't eat it.
But believe it or not, I STILL ATE IT! I pulled the packet of mnms back out of the bin and wiped the perfume off each mnm with a tissue. one by one.
I've tried so many different things; joining gyms, hypnotherapy, motivational boards, buying clothes in the size I want to be, you name it I've tried it.
That was until I went to the doctors because I figure that I've gained almost 30 kilos in such a short period that I wanted to make sure that I was still functioning okay inside.
My doctor prescribed me duromine when she heard of my weightloss issues. I had never heard of duromine before, and after reading about all the side effects, i wasn't too sure if I wanted to use it because I had just started a new job and I wanted to make sure I was on top of my game while i was learning how to do it.
After some convincing from my friend, I decided to go on it. I was actually really excited to go on it because maybe this was it. Maybe this was finally the thing that's going to save me from my obesity hell.
