As I was walking out of the gym yesterday I over heard this conversation:

Girl 1: Just take to of these a day and you will lose a ton of weight really fast. They say to start at one, but I would just take two. You will feel bad, but they weight will just come right off.

Girl 2: Should I just eat like I normally do?

Girl 1: You won't be hungry. It is like you are starving yourself. If you eat you won't lose.

Girl 2: OK.

!!!!!!!!! I wish I would have run over to both of them, grabbed their shoulders and shook them as hard as I could.

I have never understood why people want to do so much harm to their bodies. If you are already working out don't you want to treat your body right?

Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest.
