craziest thing

[blemons]

So I have done some really crazy things in my life, but one of the worst was try fen-phen. This was around the time when some concerns had actually been raised about the ways that it could adversely affect users health but it was still available. I was just desperate to lose weight so I got a prescription for it. It did work while I took it, but I can't say that the results were worth the risks to my health that I took just to lose weight. Have you guys ever tried some risky or even goofy method for losing weight or improving your appearance? Believe me I will not laugh and if I do its only because I have probably tried the same thing myself!:)

about 7 years ago some friends (all trying to loose weight) bought a box of dieters tea. sounds harmless right? well, i've never been much of a tea drinker but i tried it. to my tea bags home, heated the water and dropped in the bag. i let it sit for about 1/2 an hour and then pressed the teabag with my spoon so all the "stuff" would get in the water. the next morning my stomach began to cramp. long story short= spend the whole day on the toilet!! was miserable, worse than childbirth !!
never did tea bags again.

remember when olean the fat subsitute first came out? it was first found in chips and cookies that i remember. well i went a little crazy on that stuff, so excited i could eat "diet" food that tasted great. well, there was a slight side effect to olean. don't want to get graphic but those of you who remember olean will know what i'm saying...... :p

after having a baby I wanted to do something for myself. . . so I decided to get braces on my teeth. My teeth have always bothered me so I decided now or never. It may have been crazy to some to do this as an adult but I feel so much better about myself now and have never had any regrets about doing it.

I did Redux which was like fen phen and was pulled off the market at the same time. I did Redux for two years, lost ALL my excess weight, looked and felt fabulous! Then they took it off the market. I thought I would die of starvation, it was literally like I was starving! I gained the weight back plus an extra 50 lbs so quickly it was like blowing up a balloon! It was very difficult for me to be a fat person again and a double whammy is that it is way harder to lose the weight now.:(
