<description>I'm fat. And I'm tired of being fat. So I did some research and came across Dr. Michael Anchors. For the first time in my adult life, I feel that I have found a doctor, who not only truly believes in what medicine "is" - he is compassionate, articulate and ever so patient.

I wanted to blog my journey - the good, the bad and the ugly. I love to write, I want to lose weight - so the two marry here to provide what I am sure will be quite the ride.

Thank you Dr. Anchors for stickin to your guns, and having the courage - to tell the truth. </description>

<title>Ok - let's level set</title>

<description>The previous two posts were originally written in the discussion forum found at www.phenpro.com - so I took them "back" and posted them here so that I could keep everything in one spot. I've created this blog for a number of reasons - I like efficiencies... but most importantly, doing this feels prophetic in some ways, like I'm on to something big and I want to share it, and also be an advocate for what I feel Dr. Michael Anchors is doing for the world at large. No pun intended. I absolutely adore words, and the infinite power they hold. This is my true love and I have been wanting to come back to it in so many ways - write a book, a movie, a play, a poem - anything really.. but I don't take the time for me, and I am learning this was my first mistake. This blog is a good time to start changing that... I'm on the cusp of some great changes. I want to be healthy - not skinny, not fat, not anything other than I want to feel good in my own skin - I'd call this "normal", but I laugh at that...&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/phenprodiva/~4/hMiBKc5dcgk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

<description>What a total blast. I'm thrilled that such a hard thing to do is going to be complimented by such an enjoyable, compassionate, open-minded and intelligent doctor. I'll post more detail later - but am at work - and don't want to mis-use my employers time. And crap, do I weigh a lot...&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/phenprodiva/~4/gyq4sSvuDVI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

<description>Don't ask me why, but I got up extremely early this morning because I'm excited to go to the doctor, and I am going to see Dr. Anchors. This is odd for me in that I majorally very much dislike doctors because I've seen quite a few in my life that just did not seem to make sense. Their decisions and discussions gave me the perception that they seemed to have occurred within a very safe set of parameters and almost mesmerizing, yet memorized script they were reading in their head. My story isn't any different in that "life has happened" and I'm fat because of any number of things (yes, I do take responsibility and please don't argue in that it's a matter of just "controlling your own actions"), and I can't seem to get off the bumper car ride called "weight loss". A couple of years ago (it's a blur really as to when exactly - I've given birth since then - but I'd guess 5-6 years) - that I had lost almost 80 pounds when I found phentermine and you didn't need a prescription to order it "online". I continued to take it after the weight loss...&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/phenprodiva/~4/qrUL-A1Mg6Q" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
