    I'd have to say that anorexia/EDNOS was the craziest, and that was real, diagnosed crazy. I'm glad I recovered!

    Happy to hear you are better! I suffered from a minor eating disorder when I was 15.

    Tried tons of weird diet pills that made me jittery.

    Tried to make myself vomit (which didn't work, thankfully).

    eat a starvation diet, use laxative, drink only Apple Cider Vinegar, some nasty stuff. Stop eating meat, dairy, fish, carbs, salt, sugar etc!

    Is apple cider vineagar legit?

    Nope!!! It didn't make me lose weight, but it did give me awful heartburn!

    When I was in the darkest bit of my anorexia, my brother walked on me about to pour bleach down my throat. My intention was to ruin my throat so I could never eat again.

    I'm so glad I am far from that mind set now!

    I knew this recovering drug addict who had a miserable 12 year addiction to many drugs. Tried to commit suicide a few times, in and out of the slammer constantly. Prostitution, living on the streets, OD's and relapses, everything horrible that comes with addiction.

    She told me she had never done any drugs until she was 15, she tried meth cause she heard it could help you lose 10 lbs fast.



    SAY NO TO DRUGS KIDS!!

    I know its not nearly as crazy as some of the tings posted here, but in retrospect, Atkins is probably the craziest thing that I have done....to think that I ate that much grease and fat to lose weight...wow

    Horribly ashamed about this but ill admit it. I had a friend who took adhd medication and got skinny as a side effect. I talked my doctor into thinking I'm adhd and got perscribed that medication. I ended up having a seizure while driving and drove into a house. Never did lose any weight. Unless you count my inability to eat easily for a few days after due to both hand losing a lot of skin from air bag burns.

    Same here, glad we both are in recovery. The time I tried trim spa was also crazy. I could barely sleep and felt weird on that stuff. Will never do pills again.

    Posters,

    We're on kind of a fine line here between humor and promoting bad weight loss strategies. It's arguably all in good fun, but there are a lot of impressionable users who are already dealign with various eating disorders, so I'd prefer it if we didn't offer even more bad weight loss ideas, even in jest.


    2) Posts intended to promote potentially unsafe or controversial weight loss products or procedures, including non-medically prescribed supplements or MLM products, are considered inappropriate and will be removed without warning.

    May I suggest a new thread "What's the most successful thing you've ever done to lose weight?"
