Phentermine???

Salenah,

You cannot take diet pills for the rest of your life because they're bad for our bodies and because their effectiveness lessens over time. If you take the pills now and lose 8 pounds, what happens when you can't take the pills later on? You'll still have to deal with what you have a chance to deal with now.

Instead, I encourage you to identify the stressors and triggers in your life that send you to food for comfort or relief. You'll then have to find different ways to reduce the stress and triggers and also new ways to respond to stressors and triggers, which will always rear their ugly heads from time to time. Any chance you're putting up with crap from people in your life that you shouldn't be putting up with? (Just a big fat stab in the dark here ....)

Then there's the evil power of "bread and sugary drinks" and other things like that. It's a FACT that when you eat those things that you CRAVE more of those things. But if you can manage to eliminate all slider foods like that from your menus your body will no longer crave those foods. Sugary, fatty, high-carb foods are for most of us an addiction challenge like all other substance addictions. But you'll have to go cold turkey before you can start dealing with your addiction issues.

And then there's this: addiction is not just about the substance, but about uncomfortable feelings and sometimes emotional pain that the substance sedates. After years of using sugary, bad-carb foods this way, we have built habits that have become instinctual. We need strength and and often psychological and/or spiritual help to understand what we're doing and how we can break the long chain of our abuse.

Very, very best to you.
