I wanted to be sexy like I was in previous years. Tired of doing bodily exercises, I preferred to eat plain oatmeal for several days until I got headache and stomach upset and was collapsed. Family and friends came over to help me. The plan remained unsuccessful.

I don't think collapsing after dieting is very funny as that is not healthy. Your body needs certain vitamins and other nutrients to maintain good health. Eating just oatmeal for days will not provide your body what it needs to function properly. Exercise is necessary as well as eating a healthy balance of foods like salads, fruits, water, and veggies and other healthy food items. Oatmeal is not sufficient. Sorry to hear that you collapsed and hope that you are okay and be able to lose the weight you want in a healthier way. I did just dieting years ago to lose weight but ate salads, fruits,veggies and water mainly.

Yeah, thank you for your comment. I learned and will never do it again. I was just desperate and thinking it as a quick way.

i drank this slimming tea and i have to rush to the bathroom everytime i take something in. i mean even mere 8 oz. water. it's like having loose bowel movement. that tea can cause dehydration even though the label doesn't say so. seems like it doesn't work for the most i lost was 2 lbs. the best way i found out is to really cut out the amount of food taking in. not really choose only fat free foods for the body would continue asking for what it wants and that would cause us to compensate by overeating or having the urge to eat and that isn't good. i eat what i want then i stop after the recommended one serving. then i saw 10 lbs. easily melt away. quite hard and remarkable since i did it without exercising and am 34 years old then. i guess losing weight is like saving. you won't save if you spend it. you won't lose weight if you don't stop eating.

anything for a beautiful body... ^_^ here in the philippines, rice is a major part of our every meal. I stopped eating rice for 3 years. it was pretty tough you see because i was used to eating it every meal for my entire life.. then every holy week, i would not eat any form of meat as a part of my sacrifice. I ended up collapsing while at work, it was humiliating.. hahhaha

I've done a few stupid, crazy and funny things. One involves drinking just orange tea for a few days (backfired entirely when I had loads of sugar and nearly thre up all the crappy tea). Another was wearing a garbage bag and running in the hot summer days. Wow, that was supid I nearly got heat stroke and passed out on my neighbors lawn! There are plenty more but I drather not embarrass myslef anymore, happy mylotting. :)
