Cocaine and Weight Loss

And the Atkins detractors think Atkins is expensive. Adding the expense of cocaine has to be the highest $$/pound lost ratio diets, not to mention the most foolish and illegal.

I feel bad for those poor celebs who think that cocaine is the only way to achieve weight loss.

I've heard of people gaining lots of weight after they quit because they start eating food again instead of just getting a high.

Also, I feel bad for Scientology people. Maybe it helps people overcome things but at what cost?

I'm diabetic and my husband has high blood pressure we need to lower our cholesteral and need a diet we can both do well on we are both over weight. what diet do we need I am 63 5ft 1 he is 65 and has never been overweight, we are both retired

Norma, your husband can follow the diabetic diet with you. If you don't have a diabetes doctor, go to www.diabetes.org for more information.

If anyone could give me some insite on medications or other forms of weightloss i would be most greatfull. I am a cocaine addict mainly for the weight loss but the high isnt bad ethir. I know there are lots of methods to lose weight and if anyone knows some goods ones please tell me. Oh btw all of you doing what i am doing you will gain alot of weight when you stop the best thing to do is quit slowly like i am trying eat healthy foods, wait till your full then dont go back for more and run or do some kinda of workout outside or in your house. But i would also like other methods to add to this.

One of the best stories ever.
Please help me from my addictions?
I'm in Boarding School.

As a society we sure have done a number on ourselves. It takes dipping into the waters of illegal substances for us to project the image of ourselves...that others want to see (or so we feel, anyways???) I wish everyone would stop beating themselves up for a quick fix. If weight loss is the goal, maybe it would be better to find what works in the long haul! If you are commiting to sliming down alot yourself the time you need to do it. Losing weight and making the choice to lose weight does not depend on what is easiest, but what is best.

Quote: "Rather than doing what is easiest, do what is best. Doing what is easiest...will cheat you out of challenging experiences...It is easy to watch, yet it is best to participate. It is easy to complain, yet it is best to take positive action. It is easy to take, yet it is best to give, to make, to create. Doing what is best brings a life that is full. Keep in mind that making the easiest choice may very well preclude you from making the best choice. Effort is a privilege, not a punishment. Make full use of your cosiderable abilities. Forget about easy. More often than not it is a deception. When you have the choice, do what is best." (Ralph S. Marston, Jr.; from the dailymotivator.com)
So here is a good question to ask yourself before you go slamming another rail up your sinuses to ensure ultimate weight loss...if my overall goal is to FOREVER lose weight, than should I maybe allot myself the rest of my life to achieve my goal??? I assure you if you clear your head of instant gratification, and have some patience with your mind and your body, soon enough, your goals will start to be met. Just a suggestion, folks!

i started using coke to lose weight in march 2005. at the time i weighed 170 pounds. by june 2005 i weighed 150 pounds and continued to use coke, and by the end of august i was 130 pounds.anyways, it is now march 2006 and i weigh 155 pounds. i hate it. i gained 25 pounds since i stopped using. i feel like shit and i hate my appearance. i dont even go out or dress up anymore. i feel that the only way to lose the weight is to go back to using coke. i know that i kept some of the weight off, but i feel disgusted by myself because i remember back in august i looked so fit and slim. i know there are consequences but what else can i do? i suck at diets, believe me.

im considering using coke and i havent yet decided to do so, ive tried so hard to lose the weight and every way seems to be so hard. coke is always an option yet, i think it would be something to be embarrsed about. however ive heard stories and have a relative who is on it and has lost a mas amount of weight, if anyone has any suggestions to help me make a decision please help!! im considering using coke and i havent yet decided to do so, ive tried so hard to lose the weight and every way seems to be so hard. coke is always an option yet, i think it would be something to be embarrsed about. however ive heard stories and have a relative who is on it and has lost a mas amount of weight, if anyone has any suggestions to help me make a decision please help!!

Try an apple instead of cocanne, or coke. Better yet, Try Acai juice! Tastes good AND...good for you.

I first tried cocaine during my senior year of high school. When I first tried it, I liked the high. I never bought it myself because I really didn't know how, so it was hard for me to be addicted then.

In my second semester of my freshman year at college, I began to buy it from a girl I knew. At first a gram could last me two to three weeks, but as the semester went on, I found I could do more and more. Then summer came, and I completely stopped.... for the summer anyway.

This year, my sophomore year, has been such a rollercoaster in many ways, and my cocaine abuse has certainly made it worse. I had a very stressful internship along with my heavy courseload. I started doing coke at work to help my 11 hour days go more quickly. I used it every time I went out. I even got to the point where the first thing I would do when I woke up was do a line. It made me have some terrible downers, but I also lost a lot of weight. I've always had eating issues, and even though I'm actually relatively thin (5'8 135 lbs), I am a compulsive eater. The summer between freshman and sophomore year, when I was on vacation and without coke, I managed to gain 15 lbs. So when I could use coke, eat whatever I wanted (when I was hungry, that is), and still lose weight, I was euphoric.

I'm home again for the summer after swearing to my exboyfriend, who is also my best friend, that I would quit. But I'm having a really hard time. You see, a lot of my freshman year was dominated by eating and exercise schedules. I don't think I technically had an eating disorder, but it was definitely disordered. Sophomore year, I didn't have to worry about all that. It was like I had this amazing metabolism. But now that I'm off, the weight is slowly creeping back on. When I left school less than a week ago, I was 131. I'm already 133.

I don't know what to do. I love my ex boyrfriend so much, and I know he's right when he said I should stop. But.... I want to use the stash I have in my room so badly. I've come so far as it is, though--I've been clean for 4 days, which is an accomplishment.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any advice for me?

Do it Kathryn, girl, a man lasts a lifetime, and love is forever, cocaine is out to kill you and it definitely will not last forever. I made my man my addiction, he gets me through the days, and when i want some, it's so easy to say, quick let's do something, i need to get my mind elsewhere, believe me I know, I've had an eating disorder for five years, and it doesn't help to be on something that's like powdered sin, it's just a tease, try dexatrim, same feelihg if you take two, maybe three in your case, try it chick, hope i help!

My fiancee confessed in mid-April that she had been using cocaine for 10 weeks in an effort to lose the 10 pounds she could never lose for her first wedding dress fitting. She later admitted she is suffering from a binge eating disorder and that cocaine is the only thing that has freed her mind from her obsession with food. She swore that it was over and even went to some CA and OA meetings.
But now I know it isn't over. Its now early June and her life is out of control and taking me down the spiral as well. She will not admit it to me but she has been unable to quit and is binging on alcohol as well. I came early from a trip when she was not home and found coke residue, a cutting card and straw all over the coffee table. I actually hid at a friends place for a few days and didn't tell her that I was back in town.
She lies compulsively and has even left our home to stay at a friends place (her friend is away) because she just needs to be alone. She is trapped in a drug hell now and doesn't know how to get herself out because of all of the guilt, shame, and most importantly, her addiction.
You must know that turning to coke is the most dangerous thing you can do. I've told by many recovering addicts now that the tricky thing with coke is that is very sneaky and you can quickly go from "riding the drug and then without know it, the drug is riding you"
And before you make the insane decision to use it, know that although it will help you achieve weight loss, it will not only take you life into hell, but it will take you loved ones down with you. You will have all too much empathy for the pain and hopelessness that your loved ones will feel as they lose you to cocaine.
Unfortunately, we can not compete with the addiction and it ruins lives.
Don't do it. Get clean first. You can not deal with you eating disorder until you detox from coke. It can't be done. Then go to Overeaters Anonymous every day until you able to realize that a normal life is possible in recovery.

Wow, so much to respond to! First of all, cocaine does take your appetite away temporarily, but unless you use it all day, at least once per hour, you will get hungry. However, I do like the drug for some reason. I don't know why though, because when I take it at work to make the day go by faster, I have to take xanax or alcohol (not too smart) to keep from being paranoid. Also, Cocaine destroys your nose! No one mentioned that one.

hmm.. try caffiene pills for energy. you can buy them OVER THE COUNTER instead of in a shadey environment. idiot.
