[QUOTE="buckley8219, post: 703854, member: 37258"] A diabetic friend of mine did this on and off for years. 29 two young children, qualifies as blind , delayed stomach emptying, neuropathy and her kidneys are on the way out, seriously damaged her health and life expectancy for the sake of vanity. She cries about the stupidity of having done so all the time. She did look alright in a bikini though for a while, but a harsh price to pay in my opinion. I cannot really believe you'd even consider it, the risks far outweigh any benefits (which will be short lived unless you change lifestyle and eating habits anyway) If you want to lose weight, do it the hard way by exercising self control, calorie counting and exercise, it will come off slowly and steadily if you follow some simple rules. You'll also won't have the guilt and self loathing apparent from weight loss caused by damaging your body, instead you'll probably have some self respect and feel better about yourself. [/QUOTE]
