Do you think it’s a good idea if I get a weight loss/diet pill to lose weight?

[Anonymous]

I really really want to lose weight so badly and am willing to do anything because I hate my body and want to look okay for summer.
I’m trying to workout 2/3 times a week as well as diet. I’d buy the pills with my own money. But will weight loss pills help?
Is this a good idea?

If you want to lose weight all you have to do is get up and walk until it hurts every day.


Those pills will just cause health problems which may be permanent.


You could end up like my friend who shits blood constantly after trying to lose weight with pills.

But I really thought they would work too. :(

Ah sorry, didn’t meant to put that emoji I meant to put this one: “:((“

[Asker]

Noo, this one:🙁 I am so sorry for that

After reading the convo below this one, you’re not even overweight hun.

I weighed more than you at that age, I’m only an inch taller than you and I still wasn’t actually overweight…I just thought I was because there were girls thinner than me.

Today, most of those thin girls are severely overweight and half of them look 50 because they were dumb enough to have kids.

Moral of the story is, your body is fine the way it is and also don’t have kids

I think it’s just my self esteem. And I’ve always just never personally liked the way my body looked a lot and i wished that I could look like other people sometimes. I don’t know why and I’ve tried complimenting myself you know to boost my self esteem but then I just feel self centered?

It’s both really hard and unbelievably easy to do, but the trick is to stop caring.

Unless you get them from your doctor, most of these pills are a scam. You just loose money instead of weight. Invest the money in healthy food that helps you loose fat.

[Asker]

Okay, I’ll also eat healthy too but I just wonder why they sell them if they don’t work?

You're probably exaggerating and have body dysmorphia. What's your height/weight?

[Asker]

Around 94 lbs and 5,4. I just don’t the way I look so I’m trying to change it and I talked to my mom about trying to lose weight and she said the least I could do is just try to lose 5 lbs if I want to lose weight.

You're all ready underweight. The last thing you need to do is lose weight. Eat more healthy foods and gain weight until you're closer to 125lbs or so.

Why don't you fix the actual problem?

[Asker]

I’m trying. I’m going on a diet and working out but I thought that diet pills will help me lose weight faster.

[In_Trance]

Hire a dietician? A trainer? Both?

[Asker]

I don’t have enough money for that. So I’m just doing hard workouts at home and just eating fruit for breakfast, and veggie for lunch and protein shake for dinner as my diet.

[In_Trance]

But you said in your question you're willing to do anything...

[Asker]

Yeah, but I don’t have enough money for a dietician or a trainer so I’m just going to do it myself. The diet will help me lose weight

[brandon1122]

Don't go for it
