Diet Pills Are The Way To Go, RIGHT?

WRONG!! I used to be an avid diet pill dieter and that's how I would lose my weight in addition to minimal exercise. The weight usually came off and then when I would stop taking them it would come back because I NEVER actually changed my eating habits although the pills made me eat less. Well since starting my journey with MFP on April 7th, 2011 I didn't take any diet pills to get the weight off that I have so far UNTIL the other day. I went into GNC to get my regular Women's Active Pills and somehow scored a FREE bottle of Hydroxycut Extreme. I got home and figured well there's no way I am taking the recommended amount because I will be one crazy crack head. So I ONLY took 1..l had a ton of energy and I thought I could do this for a month to get the extra weight off that I should've lost by now, BUT then I started feeling sick, irritable and like I had failed myself. I realized that all those years that I had attempted to lose wait and used them I was destroying my body and that this time I DIDN'T NEED THEM!!!! The next day I didn't take any and I felt miserably sick, it was all I could do to force myself to eat, day 3 of not taking any I started having chest pains (I used to have these before I started with MFP in April when I would drink an alcoholic beverage with sugar in it, like a mixed drink), that day I actually have 7 or 8 chest pain episodes and thought to myself why the hell did I take that pill? Here's the moral of the story, my body did finally start getting back to normal yesterday and I am feeling much better. Dude I felt that bad and I only took 1 damn pill, I cannot believe what we do to ourselves when we are on it for months at a time. WE DON'T NEED THE PILLS, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR DOCTOR SAYS, we have MFP and we can do this together and achieve our goals. *****HIGH FIVE***** :-D
