About Phentermine
Why is it ok to tell people they are fat to their face? Does the world have no manners anymore?I am very very overweight, but am on the path to fixing it. Two weeks ago I was 5'8 and 278lbs and a size 18. My doctor put me on metformin (an insulin regulating med) and phentermine (a weight loss aide), I have been eating between 1,200 and 1,400 calories a day, and working out a minimum of an hour a day. I have lost 10lbs in 2 weeks! So I'm on my way to being healthier. Anyways, part of why I am overweight (I say part because I do assume responsibility for my own actions) is I have a metabolic syndrome, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), insulin resistance, and rheumatoid arthritis. The first three conditions make it hard to lose weight because my hormones and metabolism are shot. The rheumatoid arthritis makes it hard to work out because my knee joints are always "on fire" and I've torn my meniscus 3 times (I am now on cortisone shots and pain killers). Anyways you would think my family and friends would be somewhat understanding that my situation was difficult, that it made it harder for me to lose weight. Instead, these are some of the comments I've had said to me: "Why are you making this so complicated? There's only one thing that causes people to be fat, it's being lazy and eating a lot. Fix that and you'll lose weight." "Don't you have a hard time looking in the mirror? Doesn't it motivate change?" "I miss you being skinny. You were skinny all the way til age 16 then it just piled on. You were so cute back then." "You are lucky a guy married you being so big. Most guys don't like big girls." Why do people think it's ok to say these things? Whatever happened to tact and manners? You can't comment on race, religion, economic status, or bad hair to someone's face but you can come out and insult their size? I don't get it. I will be 100% honest, this is what my doctor told me. My conditions make it more difficult for me to lose weight than the average person, but its up to me if I want to do the hard work and get it done. So far I am. Looking in the mirror was motivator for me, but the horrible things my family said did nothing but hurt

Is it a sin to take diet pills. ?
I have had four kids and I just want to be thinner. I hardly get a moment to rest but the activity is not exactly Cardio. Would I offend God if I take a pill that decreases my appetite and gives me energy. The pill is phentermine. I have heard people say it is similar to coke. I have taken it before, before I got saved. It makes me a little irritable but my question is will it interfere with my relationship with our heavenly father. What else could I do to lose weight in my tight schedual

If a couple times a week I only eat 600 to 800 calories a day, is that ok? weight loss pill?
My doctor put me on a drug called phentermine to help me lose weight because my medical conditions made me gain a huge amount of weight (100lbs). I have PCOS which is a hormonal imbalance and slowed my metabolism wayyyyy down, I have insulin resistance from the PCOS which makes me crave carbs, and I have rheumatoid arthritis and damage to my knees which made it hard to work out. Without the phentermine no matter how hard I tried I couldn't lose weight. Well anyways now I've been on it 2 weeks and have lost 10lbs (I know sounds like a lot, but she said because I'm super heavy its ok to lose a lot at first). This med makes me pretty much never hungry. I still force myself to eat, and I eat balanced things. Like a plain turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with an apple and broccoli, things like that. But it's hard to make myself eat cause I'm never hungry. Most days I manage to force myself to eat 1,200 calories, but there are maybe 2 days a week where I barely eat at all, maybe 600 to 800 calories tops. Its like no matter what I do I'm just not hungry and it's hard to eat. They tried cutting my pill in half, but that just made me ravenous. So I just wanna know, is it harmful if like 2 days a week I just don't eat much? There was one day I ate 400 calories the whole day
