Weight Loss Causes: My Misconceptions

July 15, 2008 – 5:27 pm

Now that I have been exposed to some weight loss pills (such as Phentermine 37.5 mg), their good effects and related risks, I can’t help but reflect at how I viewed weight loss when I was younger. In college, I and my friends would go on food trips and tell each other that we needed a lot of food because we’d burn everything fast anyway. It’s funny how the one who always said that had the fastest metabolism then, and she just kept on getting thinner the more she ate.

For fleshy women like I and some friends, having a waistline and/or an ample bust line was enough to get us by. We went to the gym when we wanted, binged when we wanted, and starved ourselves when we wanted. Little did I know that my weight loss secret then is something that I will never have now.

Youth.

So… I’m not giving up. Getting older means putting more effort on getting the waistline narrower. Now, if only it were that easy.
