Congrats on the 27 lbs! I am in agreement with you.... I don't really trust these drugs that mess with brain chemistry. I don't have any issues with weight, but I have long suspected that I have ADHD. I can definitely see it in my son, so I may have passed that down. I know that for both of us it would be so easy to go out and get drugs for it. But... something makes me very wary of messing with the brain like that.

Anyway, good luck on your weight loss journey! I think if you can stick with it, just no sugar or high-glycemic carbs (white bread and white rice, basically) will do wonders for your mind. A few weeks without them and with that addiction broken, we don't feel the urge for sweets.
