In response to recent testimonials for stupid diet pills that claim you can lose weight without exercise or lifestyle change, here is mine: (please re-think your decision to take a fad-diet pill if you are currently taking one. If this offends you, oh well...)
Hi, I'm Tara, and I would like to tell you how I lost 20 pounds and KEPT IT OFF! I work my ass off at the gym and have eliminated my favorite foods such as spaghetti and sandwiches from my diet. I used to squeeze into a size 10, now I wear a size 4. I have made diet and exercise a part of my lifestyle, and my family's as well. Sometimes it is hard having to exercise when you are tired at night, or want to sleep in in the morning. Sometimes it is hard to pass up the pasta and dessert when everyone else is enjoying theirs. But I do it because it feels good to eat right, and it feels good to exercise. And as a bonus, I do it so that I can continue to look "good for having 3 kids." You're diet pill may make you skinny today, but there is not a pill to make you healthy! Being skinny and being healthy are two ENTIRELY different things. Being skinny is overrated, in my opinion, if you have to alter your physioloical being medicinally to be that way. What about being HEALTHY, folks??? You want to be healthy? You have to live healthy. You want to wake up in the morning and feel fresh, energized, and alive? You want to look in the mirror and feel good about what you see? Make the sacrifice; eat good foods, get off the couch, play outside, take a walk, join a gym, or bust up some CrossFit! Don't start tomorrow, start today.
This whole diet-pill thing really pisses me off. Stop it, America! Work for something! Where's the pride in taking a pill to lose weight? Get your ass moving, shop the perimeter of the grocery store (and you will actually save some money), and be proud of your body when you look in that mirror knowing that you WORK HARD to FEEL GOOD!!!
Those of you who believe that diet-pills are the answer? Great. You may look better than me in your own mind, but me and my healthy family will kick your ass at LIFE...ALL.DAY.LONG!!!!
