Diet Pills: Is it a cry for help or weight loss booster?

Hello all.

Yeah it's me the occasional blogger. My apologies but this journey gets tougher and tougher for me. So I thought I would let you know I've been struggling. So much that I am seriously considering diet pills. Here is why I feel like I need "assistance."

1. I can barely stick to a program...remember my 10 week challenge? Yeah well I failed miserably. I think when the goal is weight loss, weight GAIN isn't suppose to occur.
2. I make the effort to "stick" to a program and the results are less than stellar.

So I think I want to try Sensa. Have you heard of it? Well in one of my many insomnia-tic (is that a word? If not you get the idea) nights I saw an infomercial for Sensa. It's a seasoning/powder you sprinkle on your food and it's suppose to give you a feeling of satiety quicker so you eat less. Average person lost about 30 pounds in 6 months according to their claim. Here's the problem, the first month is $90 bucks! Each following month is like $50!!!! And you basically stay on the program until you reach your goal weight. I am honestly not ready to part with that much money for a diet aid that may or may not work for me.

My other alternatives are a drug store diet pills (dexatrim, hydroxycut, xendrine, and the like) these are more affordable but will they really work for me is the question. I tell you trying to lose weight at 40 has been like climbing up a frozen hill with an icy patch while wearing new shoes...you know when the sole is really slippery? I can't even say its like walking up and down escalator because you eventually make it to the top. This frozen hill doesn't even allow me to regain my footing! Ugh!

So let me know your thoughts on diet pills or aids. Would you do it? Are you doing it? Did you do it? What were your results? Please post below. I plan on visiting my local drugstore this weekend to take the plunge!

Here's to you and your journey, that it's not as treacherous as mine! :-)
