One Last Time

A couple of months ago my doctor told me I need to lose 100 pounds quickly or I will be putting my health at risk.  Those are not words you want to hear at age 43.  Because of my parents health issues, he said I am predisposed to the same issues if I don't do something now.  Well, I've tried almost every diet I know of, so I am trying one last thing before the recommended surgery.  

Yesterday, I walked into the Diet Clinic at Premier Walk In Clinic and received a B-12 shot and 30 day supply of Phentermine.  I will have to go every two weeks for the shot and only eat between 600 and 800 calories a day with nothing after 7:00 p.m.  I should lose between 2 to 4 pounds a week.  I really want this to work and I am going to give it all I have.

So far today, I have taken in 190 calories and am feeling pretty energetic.  Not a hunger pain to be felt.  Although, I do wish I had some raw veggies to gnaw on.  Oh well, sounds like a trip to the grocery store is in my plans today.

She is stubborn, sassy, spirited, hard working, God fearing and most of all full of love for everyone around her. Effie Marie was born May 10, 1926 as the middle child. She had 2 older brothers and 3 younger sisters. Don’t even think about calling her Effie, she didn’t like that name. She was to be called Marie. She only loved one man in her life and she lost him in a tragic car accident after 37 years of marriage. She gave birth to 5 sons, the last pregnancy resulting in twin boys. We teased her that God didn’t give her a girl because the name she picked out was not acceptable. She always wanted a daughter named Spring Dawn. She worked for years at a Orange p
