Diet Pills

We probably have all been there...I know I have...You are watching televeision with your kids and on comes a fashion show or a model or something and we look at their bodies and think...I would love a body like that...Sound familar?

Teenagers are in a hard time of their lives...Kids can be so cruel...Tiana my 12 year old has a lovely figure...She is a size 12 ladies in the bottom and a 8 to a 10 ladies in the top...She has has a bottom heavy figure but It is lovely...But still at school she cops things like tree trunk legs or fat ar@#...Nice kids aren't they...It isn't just the kids at her school kids all over the world can be soooo nasty...Michaela who is 13 she is a size 6-8 a six ladies at the top and 8 in the bottom because she has a womanly figure an hourglass shape...She can wear a size 8 ladies all over if she wears a padded bra but thats another story hehe...People call her fat...She too has a lovely little figure...With kids calling our kids these sort of things I thought it would be a good idea to write about Diet pills and how kids being teased or told they are fat can soon learn to abuse them in their quest for the perfect figure...

On that note I would like to tell you about what these pills do when taken and what they can do when abused...

Next time you go shopping have a look in the grocery store or the chemist and see how many diet pills are available just over the counter...How easy is it for a kids to get hold of these things...It is way to easy to buy diet pills and think I will just take these to help me with my weight loss and then before the person knows it they can become fully addicted and have a dependance on these diet pills...

Alot of diet pills contain Ephedrine, caffeine and /or Phenylpropranolamine...these three substance are addictive and can be dangerous...Do not be fooled by the word Herbal either this is a word that is used to describe a natural weight loss pill or product but these too can be just as dangerous...Alot of weight loss products that claim to help you lose the weight speed up your central nervous system similar to speed...This alone can have serious side effects and maybe cause death...

The effects of these pills can be but not limited to  Cardiac Arrest,  Cardiac Arrhythmias,  Congestive heart failure
 Heart palpitations,  Stroke,  Seizures,  Headaches,  High blood pressure,  Dizziness,  Diarrhea,  Vomiting,  Anxiety
 Irritability,  Insomnia,  Loss of libido,  Blurred vision, Dry mouth,  Paranoia,  Menstrual irregularities or even  Death...

People who take diet pills need to be under the close supervision of a doctor...The doctor will keep an eye on the side effects and things but what we are seeing more and more of is teenagers in the search for the perfect body taking these drugs illegally and in too high a dose just to lose those extra few Kilos...

This is not only a bad practice for a growing body but any body at all and don't be fooled it is just as easy to become addicted to these as it is to speed... Diet pills can lead to other problems like annorexia and other eating disorders...

There are cases where a diet pill is the option that is needed...Due to medical reasons...I know myself how hard it is to lose weight...I have been there and done that and am still living the reality...I have been in search for the perfect body myself...I sure do not want to have my kids and their friends using these pills to lose what they think is an extra few kilos....So if you notice one of your kids are losing weight quickly or their moods have changed and they are eating less and less keep an eye out and talk to them about it...Abuse of any drug illegal or not comes with dangers...Lets protect our kids the best we can...

Have a great day
Cheers
