I'm not putting down diets pills or drinks or shakes or juices, but I wanted to do a quick blog on why I won't do it. I used to take Hydroxy Cut when I was younger and I enjoyed some of the energy it gave me. I worked full time then and I felt like I needed the extra boost and the appitite suppressant. Now that I stay home all day I feel like I should have the energy. I'm not on my feet for 8 hours a day and trying to find time to clean up the house and workout. My problem with using a pill or a "fad diet" is simply that I don't want to use it as my crutch. I feel that if I can't do this the healthy way, for the long term, for the rest of my life, then I don't even want to start it. What happens when the Hydroxy Cut helps, but I don't feel like spending the extra 20 bucks a month and then my body starts to depend on it and I just quit? Then I'm back to square one. I'd rather do it right and natural the first time. I just want to depend on my own ability to eat right and to excersize like I should and my own motivation. Maybe the diet pills could help with that extra boost, but I feel like this time around, its been my own determination that has given me the boost. Now I'm running off of persistance, the natural "high" that excersize gives me and feeling great from eating less crap. I really think that this time I'm more serious. Its not just about the losing weight and getting in smaller clothes and looking good. Trust me, I'd love all of those things, but this time its about a life change. This time its about me feeling better in my own skin, in my own body and trying to make my body the best place to live in for the rest of my life.
