Well, now I've done it. I weighed myself....

and it's not good. I posted that I've gained about 15 lbs. but noooooo, I've gained 22 lbs. in 6 months. So I decided to be proactive and take immediate action. I went to WalMart and bought Alli (no J, not as in Muhammad) as in diet pills. And this stuff is not cheap by the way. So first thing I popped one and THEN read about the side effects and checked the reviews on line. Each meal can have no more than 15 grams of fat. I'm ok with that most of the time but if you cheat the penalty is uncontrollable diarrhea (check me on the spelling J) and excessive flatulance (oh dear, already have it!). I was already at work when I took the first one,stop smoking now, then read a review on line that on your first day you should wear dark pants,smoking cessation, and take a change of clothes. Of course, I had on white pants. Other users suggested using panty liners or Depends. Alli is supposed to block 25% of fat absorption so guess where the fat comes out? Here's two quotes I found: “I’ve pooped my pants 3 times today, and sorry to get descriptive but it even leaked onto the couch at one point!” writes one user. It can strike any time ― even in the early hours of the morning. One user writes: “Ya know how when you start moving around in the morning ya pass a little gas. Well, I did and then went into the bathroom and to my horror I had an orange river of grease running down my leg.”Believe it or not, I'm still going to give it a whirl. I didn't poop in my white pants so I'll just go out and get some Depends and dark pants. And I will have to be really anal (sorry) about counting fat grams. By the way, has anyone here tried Alli?
