This time it’s for real

So last weekend a friend of my husband’s came over on Saturday night. He’s recently lost a lot of weight- I think now he weighs less than my husband, but he’s not as tall either. So he’s going on again about this stuff he took to help him lose weight- Arson I think it was called. And while I’m sure it might have helped him in SOME way, to me I still see the annoying dude he is! He has tried two times to get me to take it, and I’m like no thank you, I’m going the natural way. I mean I can’t say I’m jealous because I am happy for his weight loss, but really stop telling me about supplements!

Personally, I see how he eats, and it’s still BAD. He came over and had two burgers and 2 sodas and some empanadas (that my hubby got from the store with jalapenos and cream cheese (omg gross)). I’m sitting there thinking dude you just ate like at least 1500 calories (the empanadas were very high cal, 410 for 5), and you are telling me what to do? Now granted he did work off his butt at the gym and I don’t do that right now, I only get in workouts when I’m not dead tired, which isn’t often. Specially not with this analytical chem class! But I think eating right is important too. Specially I can just eat right and not gain weight, but if he stops going to the gym and continues eating how he does the weight will just come back.

Then on 3FC I see people asking about supplements, and I’m like NO NO NO they don’t work! They aren’t FDA approved and even then the FDA sometimes approves things that later we find issues with, so how then can you even trust that?!

I won’t lie- the old me bought supplements. She bought stacker 2, she bought metabolife (then didn’t sleep for 3 days), Meridia, and so on. BTW Meridia works until I stopped taking it but it was $120 a BOTTLE! Recently she was tempted to drink these diet shots that helped suppress appetite. But then she realized hmmm, if I’m hungry, then I’m doing something wrong. I either need to eat more good foods or make better choices!

Anyways, I just wanted to throw this up and say anytime you feel like buying a supplement, anytime you feel like “maybe this one DOES work” or whatever the case- STOP yourself and say they don’t work! I’ve tried them before (if you have) and they didn’t work, so I won’t try them again, they sound too good to be true, therefore they ARE too good to be true.”

Okay I’m coming off the soap box lol. I say take that $50 or whatever the cost is and go get a nice haircut or new blouse or anything else! You deserve that more than forcing some crap down your body that makes your heart rate speed up and makes you lose sleep for three days If you were willing to spend it on a product then you should be more willing to spend it on something nice for yourself. After all, don’t you deserve it? Worst comes to worst just PRETEND you bought it and it didn’t work! lol

OH BTW if anyone wants to know I got a 147/150 on my chem test from last week, GO ME!!!
