tomorrow i start taking xenical (sort of like that alli drug but on prescription)

went to docs today and she agreed that i am the size of a horse and prescibed it for me without blinking an eye

tell you what, thank god i am 6'0 tall or else i hate to think what dress size i would be. just now i am struggling myself into a size 16.

so my love of food is going to have to change, would it be really bad to have one last chinese with a few beers tonight? (or will i shit myself when i take the first tablet in the morning?)

Don't know if you'll shit yourself (though it might be an idea to stay close to a loo) but yes, go for that last blowout. It'll be a long time till you're eating fatty stuff again.

i actually have to work in the morning this may not be a very good idea after all.

I'd have the chinese, beers, chocolate etc. Bring it on!
Yes, you'll probably shit yourself tomorrow or tonight- but if it's awful it will certainly put you off having a blow out for a long while!

good luck with the weight loss. Not easy, I know

why not have the blow out then delay the tablets for a day?

TequilaMockinBird · 11/05/2009 18:52

YANBU - go for it!

Your OP has worried me though, I'm 6'0 tall and struggling to fit into a 16 too

mrsboogie · 11/05/2009 18:55

you don't need to worry about shitting yourself - they only work in the 2 hrs after you have taken them.

I have been on it for 5 weeks and never had any sort of accident.

how is the weight loss going mrsboogie ideally i have 4 stone to lose!!!

would be happy with 3 though that would get me back into all my old clothes.

thats for the reassurance everyone.

I joined weight watchers (or fat club as me and my mates refer to it!) a couple of weeks ago and i can already tell the difference. I've tried other random diets before and nothing has really worked but this time WW online is really helping me.

Plus you can still eat chinese on WW (although perhaps not in the quantity that i used to

Good luck

I lost about 17lbs in the five weeks (hurrah) its great! slowed down a bit this week because I drank loads of wine at the weekend (the reason I got fat in the first place ) I have about 4 stone more to lose.

The Xenical is great because you start off paranoid about not having any accidents and before you know it you are the habit of eating healthy stuff. It has worked for me like nothing else ever has.
