08 Jun 08 Diet Pills Anorexia

I read a story about a girl names Debbie that now weighed 93 bounds. She was 125. This is an excert from her story about anorexia:

Her mother wondered if Debbie was taking diet pills, but didn’t have to wonder for long. Debbie admitted that she regularly bought over-the-counter diet pills to try to kill her appetite or to burn up more calories. She knew this gave her more energy, but the effect on her appetite was only brief, and the pills did make her more irritable.

Her mother ran to the medicine cabinet in Debbie’s bathroom to confiscate whatever diet pills she might find. A secondary discovery was a package of laxatives. Debbie admitted she used laxatives whenever she felt bloated or thought she had swollen up from eating too much.

Diet pills serve a legitimate function, but this is abuse. Get help or at leats accept help from someone that loves you.
