In my own experience, after graduated from high school, as getting older, I started to think of my appearance. When seeing the pretty girl dressing short skirt and shows her long and slim legs, I was so jealous that she has such good figure so that she will never refuse to buy her favorite clothes because she cannot fit in. Therefore, I cannot ignore the fact that I am fatter than them and not thin enough to become beautiful. Meanwhile, I realized it is time to do something about my body weight. However, whenever I saw the delicate desert or anything looks delicious, I never have the idea to stop eating or even try to eat less. How can I lose weight without set limit for food? I thought maybe losing weight is just not my thing because my principle of life is enjoying it, and I really cannot think about losing weight when I saw good meals. However, I did not find out how impulsive people are when they saw something that really attractive until I saw a product. It is a kind of medicine that made of herb which is healthy and it often used for help models keep slim, in other word, this is the medicine that cannot be bought on the market because it is only sale to models who need to become slim immediately before the show. Besides, it says it can help me lose weight without eating less but drinking water as much as possible. I heard a lot of news about how people become unhealthy by taking some weird medicine, but at that time, I gave myself a lot of excuses unconsciously so that I made up my mind and bought it finally. It takes me 400 RMB, which is not a small number for a student. Then, on one day, I told my mom, who is a nurse, about my medicine. She told me a story about some patients she met before. They are thin and seem healthy but their intestines are actually turning black under awareness because they are having so called "healthy" slimming pills. After hearing this story, I really believe my former guess that the reason I should drink a lot of water is because the harmful substances will actually stay in my body and continue hurt my organ. My mom's argument was strong enough to help me keep a clear-head and realize how stupid I was.
In conclusion, the decision we made when we are exciting is always muddle because we always highlight the favorable part but ignore the questionable ones. The reason why we buy something like my pills is because of my strong will of weight. I will probably buy anything that seems works for me, and it is all about timing. If I saw it in the other time, I might not buy it but trying to figure out what exactly in it.
Marketing something as a weight loss pill seems one of the easiest ways to sell relatively common, or even harmful things, at an inflated price. The issue is that with some herbs, at least in the US (is it similar in China?) there is much less oversight on what people sell. One thing about WF is that it has contributed to the idea that "fit is the new skinny" which is something that I think Kirsten mentioned on her blog. And in a sense, it is better to focus on health, then being thin. But, this too comes with its own costs, and these other supplements can be just as unhealthy. Besides, for many "healthy" is just another way of selling "skinny."
