About a year ago I had tried those so called "natural" dieting pills. I didn't want to listen to people who dissed em'. I knew they weren't good for you but I didn't care because all I could think about was being EXTRA skinny. What a mistake! They kept me awake all night, my heart was racing non-stop, I could barely eat, I would get dizzy, I'd throw up quite a bit and I would practically crave them! When my mom had found them...she hid them from me. It would drive me crazy and I had to find them. When I did, I stole a few pills a day. Nobody had found out but my boyfriend could tell something was really wrong. When he found out what was going on, he stopped everything just to help me. And after 2 months of killing myself just to be thinner than Brittany Spears, I had my life back. Now i look back at what I did and am shamed. I was so foolish and I now know never to try something like that again. I thank My boyfriend for saving me coz without him I could of ended up in the hospital or worse in a grave. So please listen to me...don't ever go that far just to lose a few pounds that a little workout could take off.

Wonderful post! I try to preach this more than anything, training and dieting is very good for you, and a byproduct of it is looking great. But first and foremost, it should be about getting and becoming and staying healthy! Never lose site of this. Your story should be red flag to all who are sucked in by magazine hype that if you are not a certain size, you are no good, fat, and ugly. Be healthy, be happy! Congratulations to you and heres to your boyfreind for being there.
