How I am Going About Losing Weight - Another Girly Issue in My Life

So as I've stated previously that I gained weight since the birth control and despite my hard work the chub wont leave. But this doesn't mean I am giving up.  Oh hell no.  I'm pretty sure most girls across the world fight weight gain through out their whole lives.  So I've been doing a new approach to the whole thing.  Well, kinda.  One of the first things I have been doing differently is I bought diet pills.  bum bum bum.  So many people are against diet pills.  And I'm not saying everyone should take some, but I feel like many girls DO want to try diet pills but are scared of what people will think.

Well, no shame in my game.

They're called Hokkaido Diet Pills and they look so cute.  They have mixed reviews.  Some girls say it worked amazingly.  Other people say it's all a bunch of bull and people need to lose weight the hard way.  Reviews like that annoy me so much.  People looking at diet pills are already thinking about getting them and have decided to try them out.  Reviews that senselessly bash them and call people lazy for taking them are not helping.  Only hurting.  I don't understand why people are mean for no reason.  Or like reality television.

I just don't get it.

Anyways, I'm trying it out.  The cute packaging doesn't hurt either.

Along with the diet pills I bought this reduce cream.  It was only $3 on Amazon, and had good reviews.  Why not?  It's basically this green cream you put on your stomach, thighs, arms, wherever you want to lose weight.  It is supposed to make you sweat more in those particular areas.  If you wrap your tummy is plastic wrap with it, it's supposed to be even more effective.  I haven't actually done that bit yet 'cause it doesn't sound comfortable but I have rubbed the cream on twice a day- it feels good on my skin, makes my skin feel fresh.

The last thing I bought to try new ways of weight loss is slimming socks.  They are compress socks that go up to mid thigh or so.  I bought two, in pink.  I plan to sleep in one pair and bring the other pair to work so I can wear them under my clothes.  I sit at a computer all day at work.  (Hence a reason I picked up blogging) These compressing socks are supposed to increase blood flow.  I already have bad circulation from some of the meds I'm on and I'm a smoker.  :x Woops.  I hope these bad boys help my blood flow because I sit around at work and when I stand up I am often light headed.  They are still coming in the mail so I can't  show a picture.

Other than these things I'm still walking everyday.  I stopped doing pilates in the morning because since I'm in my new apartment there isn't much room.  But I did just get a pass at the gym so I will be going there!! I drink tons of water and eat pretty healthy too.

I also put red cabbage on everything these days.  It's so good!
