When I discovered being a teenager, I had never encountered I would endure the emotional cries of not only becoming a "woman", but the everlasting issues of health concerns such as the wonders of trying to maintain my diet as I got older. It didn't start until my first child was born, when I discovered that gaining the weight was a natural thing during pregnancy. After my daughter was born, trying to compose myself back to my ideal size, was not as easy as I expected. After trial and error, exercise and shakes were my specialty to ease the weight loss. Four years later, I had another child, which I had gained more weight during the pregnancy. After the pregnancy, losing the weight didn't come so easily as I thought. In fact, I got frustrated and angry. Losing that weight didn't come as easy as I thought, in fact, it came impossible, practically. Even after I had my tubes tied, I had expected some kind of "miracale", but nothing. Tried exercising, to the shakes, and even boohooing at my family Doctor for help.
By then I had gained over 75lbs , which I was quite overweight from my second child. Losing this was a problem. A year had gone by and I had tried every thing possible. A abusive man who didn't help my needs, and let alone comfort, made my issues much worse during that time. After we had split, I made it a factor I would be determined to lose this weight, no matter what it took. Never in my wild imagination did I think I would be in for a long life of poor health down the road. I had gone to my family Doctor for desperation of help to lose the weight. At that time, I was too afraid to try diet pills, as growing up , I had never tried them for fear of the "side affects". My doctor had given me some samples of a "blue pill", which at that time wasn't even on the market yet. Why not trying it, and see what happens she told me. Eh, it couldn't do that much harm as long as i followed her instructions she had drilled into me. I listened carefully to her rules and instructions at that time. Months later, when I came back for a follow up, I didn't even fathom, about going on that scale and to my horror I had noticed I had dropped over 45lbs already. I was shocked, next to my doctor of course. She had asked me what I was doing, besides taking the blue pills as instructed.
I had thought if I had cut out a lot of the junk food I once ate, from meats, to junk food, it would help, and never in my wild dreams did I imagine it would work too. For a year, the blue pills worked and I lost over 80lbs. By then the blue pill became out on the market , and I was able to purchase the pills myself whenever I wanted to without my doctors advise anymore. The one thing I learned over the years, I had experienced with other diet pills. Many of them I will say, and with that, a lot give side affect labels that one must read if you don't know what your doing. For myself, I was too eager to lose the weight, and to impress myself to the world, and yes, to a man , per say, after what I had endured over the years of abuse. I didn't pay attention to the side affects, or even care about reading the labels mostly, just wanting to lose the weight fast enough and keep it off. In the end, a lot of these diet pills ended up making me so sick, I would be bed ridden for days, not be able to eat for days, or even sleep for days either.It was an awful feeling I wouldn't wish on anyone at all.
I had after trial and error to learn that most these diet pills on the market today, were killing the inside lining of my stomach and even doing more damage to my health and I didn't even know it til a few years later. In the end, I was starving myself the right proteins, and foods I surely needed while trying to look like Pamela Anderson for the right guy, but look great outside for myself as well. I didn't think straight, while exercising, changing my diet around, and still taking these pills what I was doing to my body at all. Diet pills are OK at times, but in the long run, if you take them for a long period of time, one might want to reconsider the heavy affects of what can happen to yourself while prolonging these pills for years as I once did. i never encountered that I would do damage to myself, let alone my body, or even worse, cause myself to have poor health conditions down the line of fire. I wouldn't wish it on anyone today. Today, I have what is known as Hypoglycemia , a condition of the opposite of people with diabetes, where my sugar is always low. For the past five years, I never knew I had it, until it was fully engulfed into myself. Passing out, Blacking out, or losing my balance isn't what it seems to be fun. From what the doctors say, my lack of starving myself, is one factor here and the diet pills didn't help over the years either.
If I had known NOW that what I did was going to cause something so severe to myself, I would have never did the experimental of DIET PILLS in my life. I just hope that one day that younger kids will learn from this experiment and not do what I did. It's not worth it.Surely not worth your health either, as I learned the hard way too.
