I thought of this when I was working on a clients rewrites the other day. Just how far would you go to lose weight? Did you know there are people out there taking drugs meant for horses to lose weight fast? Horse asthma medication apparently will make you drop weight like no bodies business! OF course you may have a heart attack in the process, but hey you will look great at your funeral! The Size Zero Pill, get it today, drop dead tomorrow!
It would be nice to drop weight fast and I have to admit there are days when something like that seems tempting. Would you take a drug like this? What is the craziest thing you have done to lose weight?

Will this person be running in the Kentucky Derby too? We live in a society that has 200 cooking shows on Food Network and over 300 magazine covers depicting thin women, where is the balance. I guess the best way to loose weight is to cut portion sizes, I've never struggled with my weight but I think starving yourself thin would be the craziest, you need food to survive but too much is gluttony.

Yeah, and cant you hear the anouncer, " Now coming up the back stretch is the buxom blonde, the brunette in the lead better watch her step...." Lol I agree there is too much focus on little bitty and food! "would you like to super size that combo today?"

WOW! This is crazy. I have never heard of this horse pill. I really don't have it in me to do something that stupid just to lose weight. I am only about 20lbs overweight.

I guess it is a popular plan among the elite in Hollywood, at least that was the information I was given. I cant imagine dying to be thin.

I don't believe in doing all those extreme things. The healthiest way to drop pounds may not be the most favorable, but it gives you the best and most lasting results - especially if you learn how to eat healthy and not just be on a temporary diet.

I am overweight myself but there are good ways to lose and there are bad ways. I never take any pills myself and I think I never will. Now I have done slimfast in the past but it has been a long time since I have used that. I have a banner on my profile where you can buy meal plans that the biggest losers used. There is a cost invloved but hey those people lost a lot of weight. If anyone is interested in this take a look at my profile. But as far as pills for losing weight that is just not my cup of tea but for some people it works.
