Update
I started to panic because Appedex.com doesn't exist anymore and isn't on Amazon or eBay anymore... can't find a reason. But I found a website that still sold it, so I ordered three bottles. This stuff works for me, as long as I'm consistent on taking it. It still takes effort to maintain control, but the pills makes it a bit easier, and eliminates the empty stomach pains.
Another great thing, is that it does give me some energy. So, although I'm still tired a lot, I have enough energy to force myself to do a project instead of just watching tv...which usually causes me to mindlessly eat. My place is slowly starting to look a little less like a disaster zone.
I have to really up my exercise because restricting alone is barely doing anything. Also, I talked to my shrink, and it's okay for me to stop my med, that causes weightgain, cold turkey. I've got 2.5 weeks until a trip and I wanted to be around at most 160lbs for it. If I were to pull that off still, I'd need to lose 24lbs (as of this morning). In the least, I want to lose 15lbs, which might be a little more realistic.
So, now I will only eat lunch every work day (I can't avoid it), which will mostly be a grilled chicken breast and baked potato and a little veg. Other than that, no food at home. I've learned that I can't even trust myself to have a box of cereal in the place. The only thing I allow are frozen cups of OJ and sugarfree popsicles since it's getting up near 100s now. Oh, and tons of diet soda of course.
I went out last night with co-workers, which is exceptionally rare. I realized that they'll probably start to realize I keep wearing the same two shirts, since all my other good stuff is too small at this point :( I want to wear those clothes again!
