Response to $531.98

Hi!
I looked at your profile, and it says that you are 138 lbs. Unless you are under 5 feet tall, you would be considered normal weight. I understand wanting to thin out a bit, but I'm just curious as to why use Phen? As with all drugs there is a risk involved, so why take a chance on your health. Phen was not designed for a person in a normal weight range, so that they can get skinny. Also, is it worth $500 per month?

I'm not saying that you are one of them, so please don't take this the wrong way, but I think that there are some people who post who have more of a mental issue with weight, than an actual physical issue. There was one poster (on another site) who has been on phen for over a year 'for maintenance'...The girl was 120 lbs and she is just one example. I have seen a bunch...Just something to think about.

I posted the $500 plus message and it was for six months of Phen, not one month and it comes from a reputable source. As for how much I weigh, I don't weight 138. I don't post my weight as it's my business.

Why do I take Phen? I have battled an eating disorder for most of my life and it curbs my urge to binge/purge...I would rather risk my health on a diet pill than the violence of puking...plus, taking a pill is discreet, puking is not. Bingeing is not something I have time for nor desire for and phen curbs any of that desire. I've tried Prozac (as it is supposed to help curb the urge) and it doesn't.

When I was on Phen before, it dropped me to the lowest end of normal...a place I am very comfortable with. I am currently in the normal range (I'm not sure where you found 138 from since that is not my weight), but in order for me to live my life in "relative" health, phen is my best route.

$500 is a very small price to pay. Do I wish it was a smaller price...you bet. I'm not willing travel across the border though or go to some foreign country. I'll risk the mail service doing that for me.

By the way, don't tell me to exercise either...I can't do it as I have a condition that causes unbelievable pain to do it (even with tons of painkillers). My life is beginning to get back to normal so exercise will be an option, but it doesn't stop the urge to purge.

You can lash out and crucify me if you want to for not being 200 pounds or whatever is "normal" to be on Phen, but living as a bingeing, purging bulimic is very lonely...as least taking a diet pill doesn't keep me from having a normal life (and I get to lose the last ten pounds of a pregnancy to boot).

For the record, my email was not to 'crucify' wannabeskinny. Her profile used to have 138 on it, which is now deleted. All I was suggesting is that if you are within normail weight range, to think about it. This isn't like taking a multi-vitamin.

Also, never did I say that a person needs to be 200 pounds to be on phen. It depends on your height/weight.

I read your previous posts. It seems like it is not a weight issue with you, and that is all I am saying. You have stated that you want to be at the low end of your range...At the end of the day, if you want to risk your health, it's up to you.

Last bit of food for thought....if you have to get drug tested for a job, and you do not have a prescription for phen, you will fail, and you will not get the job. Just one more thing to think about....

I wish you the best...

My profile says I am 38...it NEVER said I was 138. Thanks for your concern.

I think that each person can only speak to their own set of problems, weight, body size,eating habits, etc. This forum is not to judge one another but to be a support for each other and to share goals, a laugh, a word of encouragement, and ideas. I think we all have had enough judgment coming from the world out there. Let's keep this forum a place of refuge from a cold, lonely, and many times , cruel world.

Jinglejangle and Wannabeskinny-
Is there really a need to have two of these threads going at the same time---Cant you two work it out in a pm?

JingleJangle-
I feel it is WBS body/health and her perogative to spend her money-any way she chooses--whether it be 6 months or 60 months of phen
As for age..It doesnt matter if she is 38 or 138, as long as she isnt some child--- its no ones business-and I happen to agree with Deb---
Lets not lecture, lets just support each other and live and let live.

Jingle - Earlier today when this thread was first posted, I also saw in her profile that her weight was 138 and her goal was 110. I remember thinking to myself that I would kill to be 138.

Now that info is no longer there.

*shrug*

Two threads on the same subject...not necessary. I have no idea why jingle didn't just respond to my initial post.

Obviously a typo occurred by jingle because 138 was never there. If you really need to know, I had posted 128. I don't have any idea where that number came from because that number is wrong too. It was not intentional. I'm on heavy painkillers and perhaps that affected me...I don't know. Does it really matter how much I weigh right now? I don't think it's relevant, frankly.

This issue is ridiculous, but I wanted to clear this up since two people have now decided that I posted 138. The goal is/was accurate though...I want to get back to 110 (no lower than 105 to 107). I was 107 when I got married in 2004, got pregnant and gained 45 pounds with my beloved son, lost 47 pounds only to gain another 55 with my darling daughter. I have lost most of that weight and am on the Phen train because it is the fast track to getting me back to MY "normal." I've got a very small frame. Where 138 came from...I haven't a clue, but it does not matter really, does it???? I'm 38 years old...my guess is that is where it's from.

You can judge me, you can PM me and rip me a new one...I don't care. I'm here to get resources (I have...thank you to those who have shared) and I was even hoping for some support. Obviously, that will not occur if there is going to be an argument about how much I weigh and whether or not I'm credible enough to divulge all the secret sources.

The first PM I rec'd asked why I didn't go to a doctor to get an RX...I would not be here on this forum if I could get pills from a doctor...There isn't a doctor in the world who prescribe phen to me because I am in the normal weight range. Anyway, that's all...my eyes are crossing because I am so tired. Thanks to those who have offered their support. To those who have thrown stones...you just don't get it and that's fine. I'm not looking for advice...support is much different than advice. I get and take advice from friends and family.

wannabeskinny said. "The first PM I rec'd asked why I didn't go to a doctor to get an RX."
Ok, I'll just say it - that's plain dumb. Hellooo!!! Whoever PM'd that to you obviously has not been here long and clearly has not read any of the threads. That very problem is one of the driving forces behind this forum - docs who won't prescribe appetite suppressants.

I think Punchie has the right idea. Maybe a little more support is needed here.

I agree more support, my Momma always said "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!"

Wannabeskinny, we all have our reasons.

Keep your chin up .You don't have to explain to anyone.

Thank you, ladies...I REALLY, REALLY appreciate your support...that's a nice way to start my day.

Oh...the exact quote of the first PM I rec'd:

Please tell me you didn't spend $500 on Phen from the internet?! Why not go to a clinic? It is much cheaper, and not illegal, and you know what you are getting....

For the record, the $500 is for six months of product from M. As far as I can tell from reading, M is legit.

I also rec'd another email (from same person) which said that I seemed to be on edge and to breathe. I find this incredibly insulting. It's much easier to lash out when you sit behind a computer screen, isn't it? You can PM me or call me out right here...Like I said, I don't care. I just thought this was a forum for support. I'm glad it's obvious there are more supporters than those who sit in judgement (and lash out).

Okay, I've got to go enjoy life now.

It's OK wannabe. like ddgirl said, you don't have to explain. And this forum IS for support. The positive responses greatly out weigh the negative responses. Don't let a couple of remarks made by an anonymous person bother you! There are many people on the forum that will help to lift you up, not bring you down. If anyone wants to be a part of this awesome forum, just try to be positive and supportive, be a light shining in the darkness!
