obesity
"This is an update: I am officially down 14lbs. I am 5'5 and started at 225.7(home weight) and I am down to 211.7 since beginning on February 4th. The negative side effects have seemingly subsided. Except for being a bit backed up. Though, I imagine that the decrease in food intake has changed my personal regularity. I will increase to 2.4 today. I am more positive about seeing the scale under 200. It will be a first in over 5 years. I don't crave food at all. For the first time, in a long time, I am able to look at food as something I have to do, instead of something I constantly need to do. The next two to three weeks are crucial for me, as I generally sabotage myself and stop being consistent with my healthy ways after about a month."
