Don't take Alli! Take VItamin!they work the same

okay.
so I am really obsessed with losing weight.
well i have been through eating disorder and some emotional trauma. anyway, so i argued with my mom for 3 days, and she finally gave in and brough me alli.
she said in order to test the drug is safe, she took three pills as well.  So i took alli for 1 week now, and i lost about 3 lbs.  Pretty good!!
then I went to the drug store today and get some pills myself for refill, and that's when i realized the pills i have been taking for the past 2 weeks are different from the one that i just got.  I called my mom, and she was like "yeah i replaced them with vitamin. see it works the same!" i was really mad at my mom how she cheated me, but hey! we don't need medicine to lose weight. we just need to believe we will lose weight.

stay strong.

Good for you!  Do you hear that all you alli users?

When you see your mom, give her a (((BIG BIG HUG)))!!! :)

Hahaha! Mom pulled a placebo on you! Smart MOM!! See, aren't you glad to know that you can do it on your own!!! Keep up the good work and use the money you'll save to buy new *smaller* jeans!!

And I'm sure the vitamins didn't have the nasty side effect that alli does in the #2 area. :):)

Good Job on your mom's part for doing that! :)

I am sure at first you were a little ticked off, but mom was right, you can do it without meds.  Don't ya hate when mom is ALWAYS right?  :D  lol

chalk 1 up for mom wtg you still lost weight

Go MOM!! *woo woo wooo*  ^_^

You have to consider the Placebo effect of all those diet pills out there. Some people mentally need some boosting before they think they can do it. Sad, but it is true.

yeah i was so angry at her, but i think i should really thank her.
and right, i really hate it when mom is always right. hahahaha. but what can we do about beside admiring them?

Ah, clever Mom.  She really did do you a great service.  Gotta love the placebo effect.  There is so much about the brain we don't know & I believe the brain has a lot of power if we can just master how to harness that & use it to our advantage.

 Not so much this time, but in the past as long as I was following a reasonable diet plan & I fully felt like i was doing the right thing, what I actually ate mattered a lot less.   If I believed I'd lose, I generally would.  On the other hand,  if I believed I wouldn't, or I started feeling a little unsure, like i might have eaten the wrong thing or my diet isn't adequate enough, I  often wouldn't lose.
