When I was in high school until my early university years, I was a bit on the heavy side. I wanted so much to take weight loss pills but my mother encouraged me instead to eat a more balanced diet and do away with junk foods and soda. Now I’m in my 30’s and I am underweight. I wonder if I had taken those pills then, I probably won’t have enough fat in my body to burn during those late nights and long work hours at the height of my busy IT consulting career.
