Has anyone here tried hoodia? It's supposed to make you not want to eat. So far so good for me (on my 2nd day of it). I'm not hungry like I was, but I still think about food all the time. Does anyone else here have that problem? How do you stop? I know my problem has always been eating because I was bored or lonely. And so I would eat. Anyone have any tips?

Oh, and how do I put my weight ticker on here? Does anybody know? Thanks.

Hi. And welcome. I haven't tried hoodia. I'm of the opinion that taking drugs to make your appetite disappear only addresses one of the many issues which cause obesity in the first place. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. But thats just me. I believe that you have to change not only how much you eat, but also change your attitude towards food. Identify why you eat and why you tend to make poor food choices. Then change your behavior. Instead of turning to food for comfort, try listening to music or talking to a friend. Instead of eating half a bag of chips, choose vegetables. If you are bored, find something to do. Because if you eat out of boredom, you're still going to be bored when you finish that ice cream. I hope you find something that works for you. Good luck to you, and come back often.

I haven't tried hoodia either. My opinion is that it might be psychological, but hey if it works, go for it at least in the beginning to curb your appetite.
About the ticker, you have to be a paying member to get it up.
