Question 13.. Are Perscription Apitite Suppressants Good For You?

Thus whole diet craze right now is so hard. It's hard to know what to do and not to do. The right and wrong things to take or put in your body..
Trust me when I tell u I have been there and done it.. I have g one to a physician on two different occasions because I knew I could get that little miracle and it would come off fast and I wouldn't be hungry or anything and I'd be all amped up and raring to go.. Yea well that may be the quick fast and in a hurry way to do it but it's so not healthy..
These things pack a punch but they hurt u more in the long run.. I can only speak for the one I took phenterimene 37.5 mg..
It all started great the weight fell off and I was thrilled.  The first time I took it was in 2008 after my last daughter was born.. all was great no worries and I lost 80 pounds. I was so excited I could hardly contain myself..  After the loss and all I stopped taking it and like anything else it came back because I was using the pill as a  crutch. Well the weight came back and it brought some with it.. In 2015 I tried it again.. Now mind u this is 7 years later and my body was way different..
It didn't work nearly as fast as it did before and I became very itritable.. I was mad for no reason and this concerned me.. I also noticed my heart rate was not responding well to it so that's when I began to research the pill..
Here are just a couple of things I got just from Web MD

examples?

Adderall, Dexedrine, Ritalin
See table below for a more complete list

What are some street names/slang terms?

Addy, Bennies, Speed, Uppers

What are they?

A class of drugs that enhance brain activity. Prescription stimulants were used historically to treat asthma, obesity, neurological disorders, and a variety of other ailments, before their potential for abuse and addiction became apparent.

What are the dangers of abuse?

Stimulants can cause rapid or irregular heartbeat, delirium, panic, psychosis and heart failure.

What are their short-term effects?

Stimulants increase the amount of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, which increases blood pressure and heart rate, constricts blood vessels, increases blood glucose, and increases breathing. Effects can feel like an increase in alertness, attention, and energy along with a sense of euphoria. There is also the potential for cardiovascular failure (heart attack) or lethal seizures.

What are their long-term effects?

Stimulants can be addictive in that individuals begin to use them compulsively. Taking high doses of some stimulants repeatedly over a short time can lead to feelings of hostility or paranoia. Additionally, taking high doses of a stimulant may result in dangerously high body temperatures and an irregular heartbeat. There is also the potential for cardiovascular failure (heart attack) or lethal seizures.

What is its federal classification?

Prescription drugs, Schedule II

None of this looked ok or good or healthy to me and I decided I wasn't going to use it any more.. The fact that psychosis was one of the side effects made since as to why I was so hateful and ill.. so please y'all think about the effects this has on your body before ingesting something because it's all the craze...

Question 14~ Why Is Loosing Weight So Hard?

This question is one I have asked myself so so many times.. Truth is it is so much harder to take it off then it is to put it on.. I know that sucks yes it does but in all honesty when u think about it, You didn't put it on over night so why would you think it would come off that way.. chances are something happened the threw you into this horrible spiral.. I am an emotional eater, I eat when I am sad or frustrated,  when I'm hurt or grieving so trust me there  almost always seemed to be a reason to eat. I had to and still have to really make myself remember not to reach for things I shouldn't.  Thay actually became easier when I stopped buying it..
So yes it is very hard to loose weight but it is way better to be healthy..

Question 11~ How Do You Say No When Your Head Is Screaming Cheat?

I really like this question because omg it happens so so much.. I have named that voice Ethel.. And trust me when I say she has a big mouth at times. Since I am an emotional eater she seems to rear her ugly head alot.. I find myself in prayer alot when this part of my struggle takes over and that helps alot. Another way I am able to say no is remembering the cheat meal (yes it's just a meal not a whole day). I look forward to this day but it's not a day I'm allows to have if I slip up before then. This is my way of rewarding myself so I look forward to it.. It helps me keep it together. Do I slip? Oh yes I do.. Especially in the beginning. It's a little easier now but in the beginning it was way hard.. I am also lucky enough to have an amazing support team that reminds me of my goal and how far I have come and how well I am doing. This helps me hold it together and strive to work harder..
Keep your head up, a smile on your face and know that u can do anything u set your mind to.. No matter what that unhealthy snack won't taste as good as you look healthy..

Question 10~ How Do You Justify A Cheat Snack Or Meal?

I actually really like this question.. It took me a long time to even consider a chest meal.  And at this point I only have this ONE time a month... I have a reason for this, I have only been steady doing this diet hard and strong for about a year..
I have been off and on so much but I was finally over it and really buckled down.. Well my reason for once a month is this way I have no choice but to be good for three weeks and you days.. If I slip one time... NO CHEAT MEAL...  It sux and it's hard but I need to be healthy and junk eating is not going to make that happen.. Now with that being said when I have my chest meal I try to make it like the same day every month or at least in that same last week of the month.. I make it a main course and a desert.. That's it..
I may pick pizza and ice cream. I might have a big ole burger and brownie.. but that's it.. its back to business.. Trust me it's the hardest thing I have ever done and it took me a long time to get it together. I know it's weird but I have to do all of this on a schedule and I kid u not I even have timers set for when I eat and for the week of cheat meal so I can decide and plan that meal.. it just helps hold me accountable and keeps me on track..
Please keep in mind I am not a professional nor do I claim to be . I am simply sharing with u what has and is working for me.. if u have a question ud like to ask please send to divatammy93@gmail.com
