Be Honest: What is your most desparate and sad weight loss attempt?

quetiapina

Bumps along somehow
I'll go first. After being told, by my sister who was obviously unwell, that she had a stomach bug I deliberately drank out of her water bottle several times and feigned ignorance. Sadly ( or perhaps happily) it turned out she only had a hangover.:sigh::D
 
Oh God no, it's only me!:doh:
 
Lol Jenni... Im sure its not just you.

I haven't ever deliberately made myself ill, but will admit that if I ever am ill the first thing I do when better is weigh myself to see if Ive lost any.
 
The worst one has to be the cabbage soup diet, made a big pot of it (it was taken from a hospital diet sheet as recommended for overwight people before their ops) convinced myself that I could add chilli or different spices to change the flavour lol, had half a cup and then the rest went in the bin lol.
 
ive done that one Terri... lasted about 1/2 a day.
 
I once thought "Right, what would I do if I was in a plane crash in the middle of the jungle??" Well, apart from eating the pilot, it would have to be rainwater and edible fungi.....as I don't know a thing about strange fungi I thought I'd try the water!!! I did last about 10 days, lost weight - but not loads like I was expecting!!! Boy, did I feel like pants.......headaches, sickness YEUCH!!! :psiholog:
 
my fav weirdy diet was the horcks diet just lived on 2 cups a day for vitamins tea and coffee was like it for a few months but i was bulimic for a few years and it was part of that id not be so silly now
 
think my most desperate was chinese herbs, acupuncture and massage. cost a fortune tasted like **** and thought my insides were being ripped out when he did the massage, had 6 sessions didnt loose a pound but really enjoyed the acupuncture so relaxing.
 
i have wrapped cling film around my self like a self based chicken and all that did was embarrass my self cause i had to call a friend to help me cut my self out of it all it was like i had wet my self was all steamed up inside but scared my self cause I'm a big fella and could i hell get out of it lol ...

i took so many laxatives i made my self ill .... choc flav ones at that lol .... i took my mums water tablets for months also ..
 
I have been down the laxatives route too...never ever again

Oh and as a teenager I did the Cambridge Diet (back in the late 80's) I just couldn't cut it was not eating anything just the horrible bars they did back then and ended up passing out on the floor in the middle of a Hawkwind gig at the old Marquee club in Wardour street...so embarrassing....even worse now I look back and realise is was only 12stone at the time so not obese tho i was paranoid about my weight

lol yea i have heard of that .. and balloons getting put in a balloon lololol

what ever floats your boat i say ...... as long as its not hurting anyone else ...
 
couldnt agree more..... life is for living
one reason I am doing this after spending 25 years on a diet and ending up 17st I intend to deal with it once and for all and start living my life not living a diet
 
I also went down the nylax laxitive route many many years a go I also was fed up the diets and its nice now to say I aint on a diet or ever will be again
 
Tried loads of diets and fads etc
Drunk boiling water with lemon and 4 pieces of fruit a day lasted a week, had really bad heartburn and didnt lose a single pound !!
dodgy diet tablets which were basically speed and also the bulimic route. things we do hey
 
ha ha god where to start ive tried the laxitives did that for over a week and mum made me stop as i was only abut 13 at the time. i've tried not eating that lasted 2 weeks and i collapsed, been on slimming tabs prescribed by doctors and i even tried killing myself several times as thought there was no way out. i also have been on the cabbage soup diet that tastes awful as well as the egg diet it seriously has put me off hard boiled eggs for the rest of my life!

Brett its call Sarum wrap LOL and some people spend a lot of money to have it done to them in the interest of 'fun' A great way to become dehydrated as well....

Mine was not a diet as such or i should say it did not start out as one, i was extremely upset about 9 years back i wont say why but i stopped eating and the weight dropped off, somehow i managed to WORK!!! without passing out, however i walked around in a fog all day, at some point i became aware the weight was dropping off, but i also found i was struggling to do simple things like walk to work ect, i would come home and drop intobed until it was time to sleep again. I existed on one round of shop bought ssandwiches a day, and maybe once a week i would cook myself some pasta.

Eventually i had to start eating again, of course the weight just piled back on
 
It really shows that we all have had disordered relationships to food. I would like to slap those that say, "Well can't you have more will power/ why not eating less/go to the gym blah blah" do they not think we have had will power, and tried that for years? That most of us will have lost 10's of stones over the years but sadly diets don't work for some people and the weight goes back on and more. A story so familiar to us, but completely above the heads of a lot of people. Grrrrr.
