Uncontrolable Addictions...

JulieCitySlicker · 02-16-2003, 08:11 PM

I kno that some of us have addictions and I just wanted to tell you about mine. I have nothing to hide anymore. When I was 16 I started taking diet pills...I was a little over weight and I am very self conscience about the way I look. Well that was back in 95 and I am still taking them. I wear a size 5 in jeans but when I look at myself I still feel like I'm fat

Maybe I have a different form of anorexia or something...I dunno

I took some thing that had ephedra in it for a while before I knew that it was harmful. I don't use anything with it now but I'm still taking diet supplements all the time...everyday. I've tried to stop but I can't

I think I have a real problem and I don't kno how to stop

The only way is by getten rid of all them pills and simply trying day by day not to get anymore. Will power is the only thing u can use for that.

Well you could also smash ur head and go into a 2 month coma and when u come out (if ur alive) You may be cured. i wouldnt recomend that though

Gosh Julie that's awful to hear.

You need to go to the doctor that's all i have to say.

JenRN · 02-16-2003, 10:13 PM

Well that previous post did not turn out?

ANYWAYS......Julie, you really should come off the diet pills! They are really bad for you I can't stress that enough to you. Unfortunatley our society focuses too much on apperance and not health. It is very unhealthy to be on those at all and esp. for that long

It can cause heart problems and all kinds of issues. GET OFF THEM NOW!!!!!!!!! Take it from an RN who sees all the effects of those pills in the hospital , it is not pretty!

Ya. I kno I need to quit but I don't think I can do it on my own

I am really afraid to know what I have done to myself from taking this stuff

I hear about people dying from takin ephedra and other stuff like that and that scares me
