My Diet Pills Story

Nearly every day another news bulletin announces the alarming rise in the number of people who are overweight. Statistics are quoted for children, for adults, for persons of various ethnic backgrounds. No doubt about it…there are more round bodies in America than ever before. And I am no exception!

Q. What is the fastest way to lose weight?
A. A diet that restricts food intake.

Q. What is the surest way to gain weight?
A. A diet that restricts food intake.

Double speak? Statistics and personal experience tell us that almost anyone can lose weight on the first try with a food plan that limits intake. Unfortunately, 90-95% of people who lose weight following a diet plan, regain that weight and add even more weight than they had before they started. Plus they feel like a failure. It is really the diet that has failed them. Their body is responding to weight loss in the way bodies usually do, by bulking up in preparation for the next famine.

After countless failed diets I decided to try diet pills. I had heard a few success reports but in the main it appeared diet pills were not only ineffective but some times dangerous. But I was desperate, 60 pounds overweight and growing, I had starved and binged all my life and other than surgery I couldn't find a way out.

When I started looking I found a huge choice of diet products, Phentermine, Xenical, Bontril, Adipex, Zymax... the list seemed endless, so I researched a little and thought Xenical diet pills would be my best option.

Xenical Diet Pills

This is a weight loss medication that says it targets the absorption of fat in your body rather than suppressing your appetite. It is meant to be useful for long term use and has been shown to be effective for 1-2 years. Sounds great. In the first month I lost 2 pounds, maybe that wasn't unusual but I did expect more and at least my weight was dropping south.. By the end of month 2 I had put on the 2 pounds I lost with interest, 2 pounds worth of interest. I was devastated, not only had I spent a few hundred dollars I had gained weight. I started to feel nauseous, a feeling of doom and annoyance at the same time. Was this my fate, to be fat all my life.. I still had a months worth of pills left and so I picked myself up and started to think positive, this month will work. Every day I told myself "I will lose 10 pounds this month" it became my mantra. As the month progressed and my supply dwindled I started to feel thinner, my cloths still fit the same but I was sure I was losing the fat. The day after I had my last pill I sat at the end of my bed with the scales at my feet, I just stared at the object which would seal my fate, I wanted the proof I could lose weight but was far to scared to know the truth, did I want the truth? Did I know the truth already? I stood up, slowly got on the scales, took a few deep breaths and then looked down. At first I felt numb, just gazing at the red neon readout, then the blood started to rush to my head, this wasn't happening, why did I do this? Why did I stand on the scales? Deep down I knew what the result would be but I needed the proof. And I got it, 3 pounds on. The pill that was going to save my life was draining any hope I had.

Over the next few weeks I fell in to a deep depression and basically ate junk food to make myself feel better. Which it didn't, I just started to feel worse because I knew I was just putting on more weight. I decided to try another pill, maybe Xenical just didn't work for me. My next choice was Meridia diet pills.

Even though this drug comes with more warnings than Crack Cocaine I was desperate, I needed to lose weight and this pill promised results quickly. What I wasn't expecting was the side effects, besides not being able to sleep much it made me feel really ILL and I mean ILL, I felt my body was shutting down, my sleeping pattern was all to shot, I would be awake most of the night and feel so tired through the day. I was constipated and always thirsty, I just couldn't stop drinking. My work started to suffer and I was taking a lot of sick days, I didn't even notice if I was losing weight or not, I just started to dread each day and forgot the reason I was taking the pills. I wasn't eating because I couldn't face food and that wasn't like me, even when I got the flu I could still eat. However, I stuck with it, so was my determination to lose weight that seemed the only thing to matter. By the end of the first month I felt so weak, even now the memory is very fuzzy, it was like it was someone else, and I remember looking at the scales and trying to work out the math, what was I at the start of the month? Am I more than I was? Have I lost any weight? I just couldn't work it out. I wrote the figure on a piece of paper and it took me what seemed like an age to work out I'd actually lost 12 pounds. I remember feeling such relief, I could actually lose weight. For the rest of the day I just sat thinking over the last month and that's when I started to see a little sense. I was loosing weight because I wasn't eating but killing myself, I can say will all honestly you will lose weight with this pill but you might not have much of a life left when and if you reach your target. What this pill did do was give me hope, I had become single minded and wanted to lose weight at all costs, which I had done and then realized the cost was too great, there was no point in being thin and dead or hospitalized. But with new hope I moved on. I considered Phentermine but after a little research discovered it had similar warnings to Meridia so discarded that one, I wanted something that had no side effects or ones that were very minor, like wind or making your hair greasy. The only one I could find was Zymax diet pills, so I gave it a go.

The first thing I noticed with these diet pills was a diet plan which they called "quick start", this was a pill with a low calorie diet... HANG ON! wouldn't you lose weight if you went on a low calorie diet? YES! If that's what I wanted to do I would have joined weight watchers. I didn't want a low calorie diet I wanted a pill to burn off all my excess weight for me, I didn't want to make any sacrifice, I wanted to eat and still lose weight. At first I was annoyed, I had been conned ...AGAIN... but after a day or so I though .. well maybe the pills make you lose weight faster than you would normally, so I gave it a go. For a week. Then a chucked the whole lot away. They were useless, I was constantly hungry and basically on a diet, the pills were nothing more than a placebo.

Over the past month I have done quite a bit of sole searching and research in to diet pills in general and in most cases I have to say, from what I have read, they seem a waste of time and money. What's worse is the false hope they promise and the way they end up making you feel a victim.

I have not given up hope, I still believe some day a product will be available which offers some miracle cure but will the likes of me be able to afford it.

I hope the above gives someone an insight in to what to expect with diet pills and so avoid the lows disappointment can bring forth. However, these pills may work differently for you, just because so far I have failed, doesn't mean you will. Hope is sometimes all we have and maybe, all we need, to fight our battle.
