Considering the logistics of using amphetamines for weight loss. iin?
So basically i've been a big boy since I turned 13. Shitty high school, shitty senior year, shitty decisions. Smoked too much weed, hung out with losers, drank, piled on weight. Convinced myself I was body proud, that it was okay to be the size i am because my personality makes up for it and bugger anybody who disagrees, yeah.
For context I should mention that i'm now 22, average height(about a hands span taller than your average fridge) and weigh nearly 230 pounds.
It took me a while to realise it, but the reality is people don't work on how good your heart is, how nice your ideas are. And with a new move and a new group of people in my life, I've realised that, believe it or not, social acceptance hinges on peoples shallow, knee jerk judgements of you. Body has a lot to do with it. I'm a sharp guy, try to be interesting and caring and a good friend, but If I ever want to meet a woman who doesn't immediately feel the need to shove me into the token fat friend category i've gotta shift this crap.
Personality goes a long way, but it's not the whole deal. There are some obstacles though:
Problem #1. Have ADD, very hard to commit to things.
Problem #2. Got pronated ankles and mild twist in the spine, so running/jogging/walking for extended periods of time(thats a fair portion of all cardio right there) can leave me in excruciating pain if I over do it.
Problem #3. I'm a smoker, the lung capacity is smaller than it used to be, creating yet another hurdle.
Problem #4. I'm vegetarian office worker, so high energy foods are not really in the picture and days tend to be sedentary when not at work.
Amphetamines are not to be abused, but they can, in my opinion, be very very useful. If I was to ingest a regular dose, being careful not to vary the time and the quantity, and used this as the extra oomph that might push through some of these problems, would that be normal?
I know there are a lot of people out there who would throw up their hands in shock horror at the very notion, but if chemical dependence is avoided and the results show through, whats wrong with that?
So tell me, is this a good idea? Or at least valid? Has anyone else done this and seen the benefits? Is it normal?
