losing weight the "fun" way

I have now lost three more pounds. Down a total of five.

I decided to add a little help to my diet by purchasing the new over the counter version of orlistat, otherwise known as Alli. This seems to be helping me alot. It prevents approximately 25% of the fat you eat from being absorbed by your body. Since I've been trying to loose weight unsuccessfully for quite some time I'm thrilled with the first week's results.

There is one problem though if you eat too much fat in one sitting you will get what they call "treatment effects" this is a fancy way of saying "run for the bathroom."
I've done well and had no effects until last night when I screwed up and ate too much fettucine alfredo, waaayyy to much. I wound up with severe stomach cramps so bad that I also started throwing up. I know TMI, but I felt it was relevant. I will NOT do that again. I felt terrible all day today too. Can you say lesson learned? I knew you could.

Pondering

Yeeha! I'm down another pound. That's two and a half off of me.

I have been pondering something, it's not to profound or anything but....

Why is at the end of the day my eight year old son always has dirt or food smeared across the lower right side of his face. No where else. My sister says it's because he is right handed and is constantly wiping his hand there. This is probably true but why. He washes his hands and I try to get him to use a napkin so why does he keep doing this? I'll probably never really figure out.

Weight loss update sort of

Last week I had lost two pounds, but then we went to my MIL's over the weekend and I ate like a piglet and gained it back.

I am now banging my head against a wall.

I'm back to eating better though. I'm thinking about trying something different this time though. I'm debating between buying the volumetrics book or the rice diet. I'm not a fad diet kind of person, but I really want to get this weight off sometime soon, and the old way ain't workin.

Must lose weight, must lose weight....

Well, I recently decided I need to buckle down and work on losing weight. That probably has something to do with the scale moving upwards. Yeegads!!!!

Hopefully, sometime soon I'll be posting svelte pics of me and not my feet on a scale.
