Walkers of the World Unite, You Have Nothing to Lose But Your Pounds
Now that I'm writing these pieces, it's turning into a kind of diary - Confessions of a Loser. Weight Loss on Phentermine and Acomplia.
I kept a diary when I was a kid at school, recording all the really important things like the boys I fancied and how I would most like to lose my virginity with each of them. My mother found it one day and quietly burned it, saying it was the dirtiest book she'd ever read which, by the standards of the 1950s, wasn't a hard prize to win. But I was devastated - that terrible mixture of shame and embarrassment in being found out.
Moving forward - until my moment in the supermarket, I was living my life without any sense of shame about my appearance. Yet even that begs the question. What has my appearance got to do with anyone else? If they don't like what they see, let them look somewhere else. Now that sounds like something I should write when I'm on the phentermine. I always feel so positive and full of go during these six weeks.
But when I wrote my last piece about walking, I hadn't really thought back to those early days of exercise. With my calm Acomplia eye, I can see myself, red-faced and not quite staggering along the pavements round our neighbourhood. What an extraordinary sight I must have been. In a completely affectionate way, my husband had been referring to my thunder thighs for sometime, but it's not until you have them slapping together in a quicker walk than usual that the full horror of it all should hit you. Yet, in my phentermine enthusiasm, I never gave it a second thought. Except when I came out with a few blisters and had to start massaging in some cream. Friction is a terrible curse when you carry a few extra pounds.
Even when I was in my washout period and then on Acomplia for the first time, I just kept on walking. I had no sense that I was in any way ridiculous. I was in my bubble, focussed on the one important thing in my life at that time (apart from the family). Well, even that's not so clear. My motive for weight loss was my wish to enjoy my family for more years. But weight loss was suddenly "up there" with the "loved ones".
So, day in, day out, my neighbourhood was treated to the unedifying sight of me waddling ever faster past their doors and windows. Perhaps my expression changed depending on whether it was a Phentermine or Acomplia month. I must have given birth to quite a few "funny" stories, and probably at least one urban myth about a killer granny on the loose from the local loony bin and looking for someone to eat. But, with my clear Acomplia eye, I can see that I had one big advantage over anyone reading this in the USA.
In England, walking is not so unusual. Strange as it may seem to you, people really do walk to work or to the shops. So, when I was out ploughing my lonely furrow, I did stand out in a crowd, but not quite so much as you would in most North American cities where the automobile is king. I've been to the USA twice and it was immediately obvious that the only people walking were the eccentric and the desperately poor. Put me as a lone figure waddling down a street in your city. Now that's a completely different ball game (as you might say).
As an agony aunt in the making, the only words of encouragement I can give you are the simple ones. Which is more important - your life or your image? So what if most around you mock and sneer. Think of the alternative. You are going to allow yourself to be intimidated into inactivity so you won't lose weight as quickly or at all. Is that really what you want? There are times when you just have to accept the role of eccentric, learn to live with shame and embarrassment, and get on with your own life. Now where did I put my diary?
