I’m going to try some new diet pills. I’m so tired of feeling like everyone passes me over for everything because of how I look. It’s not just with guys, either. This comes up not just in social situations, but at work, with my family – you know, places where your looks are not supposed to matter. Most of my friends think I’m being crazy when I attribute getting passed over for a promotion to the fact that I need to lose weight, but I don’t think they realize how all-pervading the stigma of “fat” really is. I feel like everyone I talk to has to get over the fact that I’m overweight before they’ll even actually have a conversation with me, even though I know this can’t be entirely true. It’s probably not true at all, but you get enough sidelong glances and dismissive flicks of the eyes and that’s how it feels. I know it probably has more to do with how I see myself than how anyone else actually thinks, but still, the feelings are there and they hurt.
So, I’m going to do something about it. My friend Denise at work has been taking these diet pills for the past couple of months, and you can really tell. She’s looking great and she says she’s almost back down to her high school weight. They’re called Hoodia Gordonii Plus and supposedly there are few side effects. She says she never feels shaky or nervous on them and that they’re a good, all-natural way to curb hunger for those times when I really don’t need to be eating more than I already have. I’m hoping for more than that, though. Sure, curbing hunger is great, but I think part of the reason why my weight has gotten so out-of-control is that I just don’t have the energy most of the time to go get any exercise and so I end up sitting at home, eating out of boredom. Maybe the Hoodia Gordonii Plus will provide the kick in the pants I need to get out and get to the gym or something. Denise says that so far, these are the best diet pills she’s taken because they really are effective .
There are plenty of things motivating me to start doing something about my weight. First of all, I’m too young to feel this tired all the time. My schedule is busy, but it isn’t so demanding that I should be coming home exhausted and doing nothing but eating until it’s time to go to sleep. Then there is the whole confidence thing and how I feel like no one takes me seriously until they get to know me – it would be great if I could get over that. And then there is the matter of my health. I know my health should probably be at the top of the list when it comes to motivation, but I would be lying if I said that high blood pressure worried me as much as never being able to wear a bikini again. Still, I know about diabetes and I know how many links they’re finding between obesity and all sorts of diseases, so my health is a concern.
I guess there’s nothing to do but order the Hoodia Gordonii Plus and get started.
