I Knew It! I Knew it Wouldn’t Work!

I got duped again. Sad to admit but I fell for it; I should have known it wouldn’t really work for me. I bet you know what I am talking about. Have you seen those diet ads by different Hollywood actresses and models like Jane Fonda, Christie Brinkley and many more? Well, I’m not talking about the same exact people here but I admit I got duped by a Hollywood celebrity who made public her weight loss program and I thought it will work with me as well.

I don’t want to make excuses but I fell for it because I’ve seen that celebrity before and she was really big. After seeing her lose about 30 pounds I felt like somebody who wants to embrace a new religion – her diet religion. And so I listened to her diet doctrines with hopeful eyes believing it will work for me as well. Aggh! I should have known it was too good and too easy to be true.

It was obvious but I have chosen to close my eyes on the fact that the celebrity has no nutritional or medical training at all. She may have sounded genuine or even knowledgeable about food and nutrition but she sounded more like a good sales pitch. Too bad I realized that too late.

Now I am suffering from all the side effects of my chosen diet plan – diarrhea, stomach pains, not to mention I feel so weak and lethargic all this just to lose weight fast. Worse, after going back to my normal diet, I am gaining back the old fats again that I thought won’t come back. But what makes it more unbearable is the fact that my family and friends are talking about my misfortune every time, making an example out of me, thinking I don’t mind at all.

Yes. I guess I’m back to square one. I can’t say I wasted time, money and effort though. I learned my lesson well. Before taking on any of those diet plans I will now consult my doctor or my nutritionist so I will know if I am about to make a fool of myself again.
