Pill or No Pill?
I need to get rid of some extra weight. Desperately. I’m not interested in squeezing into the clothes I wore in high school- I’ve long since gotten rid of all of those but my prom dresses (and have tried to sell them). I just want to feel better and be healthier. I don’t want to end up with diabetes a few years down the road or anything.
Trouble is, I’m just not motivated enough. I can’t seem to make myself eat healthier foods and exercise. I keep thinking that maybe trying some weight loss pills to get a jump start on things would help, but that’s just not me. It was at one time, but I’ve become a cantankerous old hippie and don’t like to use chemical concoctions without good reason. But then there are the all-natural kinds.
Still, there are a couple of issues. One is cost. My budget is very tight, and getting tighter now that Hubbs and I don’t have health insurance. And then there’s the fact that the last time I took diet pills, I lost some weight, plateaued, and then gained most of it back as soon as I quit taking them. And I refuse to stay on them for an extended period of time.
I’m not ruling diet pills out. I’m just being my usual neurotic self and overthinking things I guess. One of these days maybe I’ll break down and give them a chance.
