This should not even be a problem!?
12.31.08
I am in need of losing some weight so my doctore suggested I try the diet pill Adipex. My sister is taking it and she looks great, losing over 30 pounds so far. This is also a temporary pill that just helps jump start weight loss. Anyway, my mother-in-law sells this Herbal Life and she, along with my Father inlaw have been trying to get me to take this stuff to lose weight. It is a costly herbal pill that is widely backed up by many Christians, such as my inlaws. They swear by the stuff, even though I have yet to *see results in them. Anyway, I know how they are about taking precription meds, so I have been uneasy about telling them. Some say just don't tell at all, but I felt the need to because they may see my car at the clinic, or my parents may tell them (close friends), or I just can't lie about a drastic weight loss in the beginning. So my husband told them last night and his mother mouthed off quite a bit about me taking this stuff. I know I'm going to get the heat from his Dad.
She immediately asked why I did not take her vitamins. My hubby just blew it off. I am worried about how his Dad is going to react, because he is a very strait forward man. We don't get along that well anyway, so I feel like I may blow up. He once pulled me aside and bluntly told me I needed to lose weight..very rude I think. So I told my husband just pretend like we changed our minds for now about taking this diet pill..That way I won't get the slack. And then when they start to see my results…they may back off some. My Father in Law is very spiteful, and he will be the type to do and say anything. Such as tell everyone I cheated on weight loss, I was too lazy, or even call the CPS because I am taking a Diet Pill with two small children. This should not even be a problem..is there an easier way to go about this mess???
Petty I know, but less conflict is better. I am not very calm about things, especially when someone is bluntly in my face about things. I am grown and don't feel like it should be a problem.
Sounds to me like your inlaws have to much of what the cat licks it's a*se with! Tell them to mind they're own business. it's YOUR life NOT they'res. Herbalife isn't the answer it's just about replacing meals with pills.! decide for yourself what you think you might like to try hun and go for it. Good luck.
You said it yourself. You are grown! You shouldn't feel like you have to explain what you do to anyone. Your doctor suggested it and if you feel comfortable taking that then go ahead. You have to do what feels right for you regardless of what others may think. They'll just have to get over it. You can yes them to death and just do what you want if you feel they won't listen to reasoning. The bottom line is, do what you want to do.

Your not talking like your "grown".
The CPS can't take away your children for a diet pill or they'd be outlawed!
If your a grown woamn act like it and do as you damn well please to your own body.
How dare that prick tell you you need to lose weight you didn't marry him!!
Herbal Life is BS.
Do what you want to do, and so what if you have to tell this FIL off he deserves it.

it is what you call it. NOT A PROBLEM. This should not be a problem unfortunatly it became one because your inlaws were insulted. Your body, your decision. You could just tell them you discussed this with your doctor and he told you to try the Adipex. Tell them you were going to use their Herbal Life if the adipex that your doctor prescirbed didnt work.
Its a lie but a white one.Shame on them for meddling in your life and of all things a weight loss plan!??? Quite petty but I have meddling father in law and I have found that little white lies help get him off my back because he will never change. Its a shame they are so controlling of you over such a silly thing.
GOOD luck with your weight loss!

First of, your in laws need to stay out of your business. It is not up to them what pill you take for dieting. You need to do what you feel is right. It is not up to them what works for you. Everyone is different. You need to tell them in a polite but stern way to stay out of your business and let you make your own decisions. You know what is best for your body.
Second of all, CPS will not come out unless they have resonable cause that the children are in danger. You Fathe rin law must furnish prrof that the kids are in danger. If you have a script from your Dr, then you arent fdoing anything wrong.
Good luck in your dieting. From one overweight person to the other, it certaintly isnt as easy as people think it is.

At the moment your biggest dispute is with hubby for blabbling your personal business.
You should refuse to discuss any and all of this with everyone (except whoever you WANT to talk to).
"I did what my doctor and I think is right." Just keep saying that over and over until they get bored.
Yes, it's very rude for someone to insult you to your face.
BTW, your doctor gave you bad advice.
The way to KEEP weight off is to do it slowly, by reducing, item by item, the amount of unhealthy food you eat.
You should try to lose no more than 4 lbs per month.
But, it's your body and your decision.
That's exactly the message you should give to every busy-body in your life. Just don't discuss it.
If you don't engage, they have nothing to argue with.
Let them rant if they must, but don't engage. Just keep stony, and keep repeating the mantra "I'm doing what my doctor and I think is best."
Heck, if your parents blab to them, then don't tell your parents things.
