I’m addicted to slimming pills because I desperately want to be thin

DEAR DEIDRE: ALL the talk right now is about weight-loss injections but I’m addicted to slimming pills, even though I know they aren’t the healthiest.

I am a 22-year-old single woman. I have always been on the large side, but after discovering weight-loss pills, the fat started to fall off.

My life is transformed but I’m scared the fat will return if I stop taking the pills. It’s a vicious circle.

After I broke up with my boyfriend I stopped eating junk food and binge drinking.
