Week One
It says don’t take near bedtime.
I was a bit buzzy on the first two I took and wondered if it was a bit much for me.
The first week I alternated between one and two tablets a day.
I’m finding it hard to get my exercise in at the moment but confess to having to do 2 – 15 minute jogs and 30 minutes of yoga due to really painfull seratonin headaches.
Someone told me if you say you lost weight you are showing off?
Surely if I experiment with and review these tablets people are wanting to know if they work?
Have to say I’m not the showing off type as I’m body dismorphic.
I’m never perfect anyway; if I loose weight I’m too flat chested, if I gain weight my bust goes up but I’m classed as fat compared to tall skinny supermodels.
Ideally I’d opt for a filled out face and a bust at my biggest size but I haven’t the confidence to cope with the skinny hype.
I’ve more chance of getting clothes to fit when I’m size 8.
My hobby is exercising which makes me thin or I can be nine stone and toned but you need a gym to work that one out for you.
As I’m struggling to exercise this is to see if they work for after christmas.
I’m planning to enjoy this christmas with food and drink then do a detox and go on slimming pills.
I’m guessing the pills get you off sugar cravings.
Results
Week one weigh in lost 1lb.
Ignore me if you think I’m showing off and be a winner instead.
I think this is quite good as I was plateauing.
I don’t go out so the exercise is equivelent of walking round a shopping centre or running for a bus and so forth.
This means the pills work without exercise.
Showing off aside it means you can loose weight without exercise and this proves it.
From what I’ve been reading you really need to do spa treatments as well to tone up.
What I really need to do is add the grapefruit ab massage as it helps with toning and low moods ~ waiting for the base carrier oils from H & B.
Saturday Morning One Week in
This morning I have woken up with a red face and decided to pull out of this challenge.
I’ve lost 1 pound and got down to 8 stone 7 so proved they work.
As I have a skin condition was told to avoid spicy foods by doctors.
I’m o.k. with a bit but a month of daily spice might not work for me so not risking it.
The nerd thrives on spicy food so he is going to keep going with the pills.
Conclusion
Slimming pills work if you don’t want to exercise or are unable to exercise like I can’t at the moment.
To be honest I’m not even sure if I need to loose weight.
I’m treading water around the 8 and a half stone mark.
I look small and fat compared to tall skinny supermodels whatever I do anyway so I’m never perfect anyway.
If you feel like me do you ever ask yourself who made the world like this.
If it was acceptable for me to eat whatever I felt like then just live at whatever that weight was without being told I was rubbish maybe I wouldn’t be body dismorphic.
If I enjoy exercising for my hobby why can’t I?
Why doesn’t someone put models my height in various weights as role models and say they are beautiful and perfect.
I might not be sitting here taking slimming pills then.
If I went skinny from exercising it wouldn’t matter as the model my height at the unskinny acceptable weight range wouldn’t feel I was showing off ~ just living my life how I wanted to.
If I ate cakes and exercised and went up to ten stone no one would be bothered about that either.
It all seems really silly.
I think what I want is to drink wine at the weekend, exercise as much as I want ~ preferably a lot outside and people to accept me for who I am rather than what I look like, which is mostly average and in sports clothes.
I exercise for low seratonin as oppose to vanity.
Vanity doesn’t mean anything to someone body dismorphic.
For vanity sake I wouldn’t exercise at all as men prefer women with a bust.
I guess what weight I should be from fashion sizings and fashion media platforms.
If anything about me upsets you ~ don’t let it.
Doing these experiments is keeping me alive.
If they are of use to you it is giving me support to keep me going on too.
If you only want to loose vanity pounds I think you should be able to.
If you have a health problem from sugar cravings these will work really fast for you.
I’ve proved they work anyway.
What I’m going to do is try and get the ones from boots again and do those in dry January.
If you do these pills which might be more natural ~ what happens is your palette adjusts to wanting spicy food instead of sweet food.
They are possibly better for January as they make you really hot and warm.
If you are coming off alcohol it is a bit boring so slimming on spicy food with spicy pills is quite fun.
You’d be eating mexican, Indian, Cajun and so forth and hence the water is easier to drink.
I think these pills are brilliant and work if you can handle spicy food and don’t have a system like me or a sensitive skin condition.
The nerd loves them.
Give them a try ~ will write them into dry January with a choice of Boots ones.
Will definately do the spicy food in dry January as I think I’ll be allright with that, if I’m cooking again got some spicy recipes where I can adjust the strength of spice for each guest.
Enjoy
