So I had a bit of side effects after upping my dose. Bloating. Major bloating. Big gas bubbles in my tummy that wouldn't come out. All i wanted to do was pass gas and get relief but it wasn't happening. Uncomfortable yes. Unbearable no. Then Saturday night a couple hours after dinner and my 2nd pill of the day I got some dreaded diarrhea. But that was to be expected. I can at least say that i felt major relief afterwards. I wake up feeling a lot less bloated. but there's still a little bloat. i plan to give my body a week or so to get used to the dosage. might even wait till after this coming weekend to up the dose again because i have family staying with us in our one bedroom one bath apt. 7 people sharing one bathroom? yeah..its not the time where you wanna have diarrhea.
Its weird to feel bloated on the inside but skinnier on the outside. i feel my tummy and it feels smaller. even though it doesn't look smaller. i guess the shape is changing. also i notice i'm not as hungry anymore. i don't eat as much. i don't get hungry as much as before since starting metformin. so i'm hoping with that, the fact that i've been working out, and the eggplant water, i'm hoping i'll be seeing some results this week. i normally would not weigh myself every week. more like every month. but i want to see if the eggplant water (and now the pills) are making a difference. things are looking good. i'm hoping that by halloween i can fit better into some old clothes and that my weightloss will be noticeable. i've lost 18lbs so far on my own so now with medication i'm hoping i can lose 30lbs total by halloween. thats my goal and i think its reachable. i'm doing amazingly so far and having no trouble so i'm very confident i can achieve my goal :)
my goal for xmas is to be down 50lbs. that would be amazing! then you'll really see a change in my appearance. and i'll be well on my way to my goal of 80lbs. I say i won't let myself get pregnant till i lose 80lbs. but thats not my ultimate goal for weight loss. thats just the minimum. i would love to be down 100lbs by my 30th bday next june. if i continue the way i have been there's plenty of time for me to get down the weight by then. but for me its the little goals. goal for end of oct, goal for xmas.
there's gonna be a point where i plateu and i'm scared of that but i guess i'll cross that bridge when i get to it.
