No Easy Way to Lose Weight

The quest to look beautiful onscreen can sometimes be an obsession. Appearing in television or even in movies add around 10 pounds or so to the actual weight of the actors. Thus, an actor who seems to be hefty onscreen might not really be that stocky in person or an actress who looks fine on TV might actually be quite slim offcam. To avoid being criticized as fat, showbiz personalities, especially those who are groomed as matinee idols, have to be very conscious of their size.

While spending hours at the gym, dieting, or engaging in other sweat-breaking activities can maintain the body weight of a talent, the drive to look thin can be such a challenge. Sometimes, talents succumb to the pressure and take drugs that cause weight loss at the expense of their health in the long run. Of course, drugs are out of the question for performers, and thus, they turn to diet pills, which they believe can speed up their weight loss. Unfortunately, instead of going to the doctor for prescription and supervision, some talents resort to trends and end up buying their diet pills online.

Body Conscious actress (BC) panicked when she thought she was gaining weight and the extra pounds were showing on her body. The irony is that BC has always had a good physique since she started her career. During times when she had no projects, which was often the time actors gain weight, BC looked well and no noticeable change happened to her body. Nonetheless, BC did not see it that way. To keep her figure, BC started to take diet pills that allegedly have created a buzz online for its weigh-reducing effects. Between sweating it out and swallowing pills, BC opted for the latter.

Thus, BC took her diet pills and soon she lost a considerable number of pounds. As nothing that comes easily will be rewarded just like that, BC ended up being confined in a hospital. Eventually, BC admitted that her confinement might have been due to her taking of the said diet pills. Finally, BC realized that she should stop taking the pills and should resort to exercise class to maintain her weight naturally. After all, her stay at the hospital should serve as a wake-up call given that such pills might do something worse to her body later on.
