I've been taking the supplements since Friday morning. Although the instructions said it might take up to 2 weeks for some people to feel any effect, I felt a difference within the 1st dose. And I'm also taking LESS than they say to take, because I wanted to start out slowly in case there is a plateau and I have to increase it.
I've been talking over how different I feel, and trying to put it into a comprehensible experience, but I am finding it difficult to find accurate wording. I hope what ends up on the page makes some sort of sense.
Before taking the supplement, I felt almost always on edge of losing control over what I ate. It was a very conscious situation of preoccupation. Monitoring how I felt, making sure I wasn't eating my emotions, keeping lists and desperately trying NOT to think about food but held hostage by it nonetheless.
Enter the supplements.
Step away from the edge. Breathe.
New thoughts...
Food? What's that?
Seriously....who cares about food? I'll go so far as to say the feeling is somewhat extreme, as in I almost miss that excitement I used to feel about food. But now I really couldn't be bothered. I couldn't care less. I'm eating just as much as before, but the fixation is gone. And there's no such thing as a craving so far. I realize it has only been 5 days. We'll see.
Day 2 of the supplements I sat in a Chili's restaurant, completely untempted by the endless free tortillas and salsa. I chose a salad with grilled chicken, even though I could smell the fries from everyone around me. And eating the salad felt 100% satisfying. I did not covet food I could not have. I didn't even think about it.
I don't know WHY it works.
I don't know if it will continue to work.
I'm just taking it one day at a time.
And the cleanse supplement? Happy to say there's no "I'm going to poo my pants right now" feeling. It is more of a need to pee. I am drinking a full 8 plus glasses of water.
With the lifting of this constant worry I had over food, my mind feels so much lighter, and I find myself enjoying conversations with coworkers and feeling optimistic that maybe, just maybe, I can reclaim the energy to get my healthy life back on track.
And....I've continued to follow thru on my goals for myself.

My new friend is used, but I don't care. I love him. He's great so far, getting my heart rate up while I watch TV.Only drawback is he scares the hell out of the dogs.

Bwahaha! Your poor babies. And congratulations on finding something which works so well. So far. :)
Very encouraging! It must be a relief to be able to focus on other things and not think about food. Keep up the good work and I might have to follow you soon. It's worth a try, right? :)
About to take my first one! :)
That is awesome! I'm going to follow your lead, girl! Keep up the good work!
I'm trying out the herbs, bought some on Friday (although I bought something different than what you recommended because I didn't want to wait for shipping -- desperate times call for desperate measures!). I haven't noticed much of anything yet (although this is only day two), but I'll let you know if/when I do.
