In the past month I have cut out chips and cookies. I have stopped putting sugar in my coffee (I still use cream) and most importantly, I have added a daily walk. Usually, the walk is no more than ten minutes, but I keep a brisk pace, and it is EVERY day, not just one day a week like I used to do.

Now I plan on adding diet pills to the mix.

Although I have already lost three pounds, I want to lose a whole lot more - like thirty, and I do not want it to take me six years! I have been reading up on diet pills, the different ingredients, the risks and benefits, and maybe most importantly, I took a list of ingredients to my doctor and asked him if the pill was OK - he said yes.

I am fully aware that diet pills are not the answer to my weight problems, and that they work only as long as I take them, but with the added lifestyle changes, watching what I eat and adding exercises (I will be getting my Wii Fit on Tuesday), the diet pills will give me a boost in weight loss to encourage me to add more and more exercises and more carrots instead of granola bars covered in chocolate. Plus, most of my eating is becuase I am board and snacky, the diet pill I am looking at has appetite suppressants - as well as an energy booster, less food - more exercises, its win-win!

And I can only hope that when I get down to the weight I want to be (115-125 - which is still overweight for my height) I will be so ingrained in a healthier, more active lifestyle, that I will be able to continue to keep the weight off.

When my pills come - I had to order them online, I will keep every up to date on how it goes!
