"i&#039;m a male, age 59. i have struggled with weight since childhood, bouncing between 165 (yay) and 215 (nay). i am at 200 and my goal is 165. i love working out, lifting weights and/or doing cardio 6 days per week. but i have always wanted to eat too much and eat the wrong things. phentermine somehow takes away my life-long preoccupation with food. i have to remind myself to eat. i think, &quot;is this how normal people feel about food?&quot; i have lost 5 lbs in a week and feel great."
