[NeedtoLose]

My husband, my mom and a couple of close friends know. I don't really want anyone to know (not that it is any of their business anyway), but in my mind some people tend to look down at people when they use weightloss drugs.

They act like the person did not do any work to get to their new weight, like they just consumed some pill and kept pigging out.

I have heard lots of people talking about people taking diet drugs and once they are off the pills they gain it all right back. I am sure that does happen to people, but that is because those people did not change their lifestyles. They went back to old habits. Of course they gained it all back!

Am I right? Or are we all doomed to gain it back when the pills are gone?

NeedtoLose, no wonder you were disturbed by my comments about
eventually moving away from phentermine, when so many people
disrespect others who are using diet pills in a safe way to help
get a better start on their weight loss journey.

So many people think that even if you're overweight, you have it
easy. They believe that all you need to do is work out more.

Well we know it's not that simple. The good people here are
the only ones who can truly understand the situation, so just
as JustDoIt said, try your best to shut out the negativity you
get from any friends and society as a whole.

==========================================
BACK ON TOPIC:

I'm sorry about that, NeedToLose. Anyway, I think that many people
who take diet pills don't make the necessary lifestyle changes that
are easier to follow through on with the help of diet pill.

We can do it! Phentermine, as you all know, is a tool that makes
it easier for us to "just do it" when it comes to changes for better health.

Have a great night, NeedtoLose!

BTW Do you have a shorter nickname? It feels so impersonal calling
someone "NeedToLose."

I completely agree. You can shorten my name however you like. NTL is fine.

I never told anyone when I was on phen--except my online friends. I have tried to lose weight before and wanted to avoid the negative comment--it doesnt look like your losing, is that on your diet?, etc. People can be such a** holes!

I agree, cyn! People can be so rude.
