Still Trying to Lose Weight
No, not me. As I said before, I am terminally underweight and always have been. But my friend is still desperately trying to lose weight and has now spent a small fortune in search of the ‘magic bullet’ that will help her.
She exercises regularly, does not eat half as much as I do, she eats most early in the day and very little after 6.00 p.m., all in accordance with what most diet leaflets and clinics would tell you to do. She has been a member of innumerable programmes supposed to help you weigh and measure your food, but all to no avail. She belongs to a good gym, and works out four times a week, comes back looking like a boiled tomato at the end of her work out session, but the pounds refuse to shift.
She is now looking in to diet pills again, atro-phex, ephedrasil, you name it, she is looking at it. One pill promises more than the other, she reads about one and rings me up full of excitement, but when I do the research on-line and tell her about it, she gets despondent. Maybe there is no magic bullet, and our ideas of what constitutes a good weight are influenced too much by the fashion industry and what other people say about how much we should weigh. Hope she gets to the weight she wants to be though, she would probably feel better about herself then and would come to the beach with me.
