Stupid weight loss advice

Oh dear God... I have a very vivid imagination and now I need brain bleach...

Someone once told me to soak cotton balls in orange juice and swallow them. That the cotton balls would taste yummy going down, sit in my stomach like fluffy food and keep me full forever and I would never be hungry and I would lose tons of weight, super fast! Yeah... Riiight!

Then once you had the rest of your intestines removed because of a blockage you're good to go. People are friggin crazy yet we're called extreme lol

The only time I ever lost any weight was on Atkins. I was what failed not the diet. I started eating refined foods again.

Me too. It's a good program but carbs called my name. I did great right up to the holidays.

Hey, my ex primary care doctor suggested that if i would just buy the right cookbooks I wouldn't need the sleeve. She is my EX PCP for a reason.

Years ago having yet again re-gained weight after yet another weight loss my thin PCP asked me "What? Do you just not care?" That was the last I saw of him. (Ironically I learned later that he died young -- of heart disease.) But the damage was done. I gave up on myself for a few years after that. Finally found a good, supportive PCP. I'll never let a doctor treat me like sh*t again.
