I’m only “hateful” toward the unscrupulous who are trying to prey on otherwise well intentioned people. I’m sorry that you feel like I’m negative. Perhaps re-reading my posts would help you see what I’m trying to say in the light in which its intended, which is to be supportive of people who are like myself, overweight and having tried many many different techniques. Since you are of a “healthy weight,” you likely do not understand the struggles someone has endured from a lifetime of being overweight. You’ve not experienced the childhood taunting, the rejection, and the isolation. Your only struggle, weight wise, is “vanity weight.” You do not have a pony in this race.

If you’re unable to do reread what I’ve written in the vein in which I’ve provided it, then perhaps you should look beyond yourself in seeking answers rather than making inaccurate accusations.

I’m actually a healthy weight – always have been. But I’m trying to lose that perpetual 10 pounds of “Vanity weight”. I exercise – I eat vegetarian, and according to the Blood type diet 75% of the time. I’ve also tried some of the more unhealthy diet foods and PILLS, too! I always got sick off them – and was forced to stop taking them…but with slim shots, I feel normal. Just less “snacky”. My big problem was after work – when I would eat about 70% of my daily calories (sometime in one sitting). Now, I don’t feel like eating anything after dinner. And I’m starting to lose.

And no – someone mentioned earlier that if you just want to lose 10 pounds it’s easier and you can do that by cutting back and exercise. Well – I do exercise, yoga, vegetarian, organic – the whole nine yards….and the last 10 pounds is the hardest, because you’re typically already within a “healthy weight range” and you body wants to hold on to that weight with all it has! Perhaps it’s justified – but for those of us who are going on vacation in 8 weeks… and also those of us who want to loose more than 10 pounds, I think slim shots are ok.
