When I was younger, some of my classmates were really quite conscious of their weight and some even went online looking for top diet pills. I have nothing against that, but I believe that you have to be careful when it comes to doing something to our bodies. They were not that desperate, though, and what they did was mostly try different diet programs. Unbelievably, some of them did get thinner, but the weights came back again, usually after summer vacation.

We still see each other every now and then, and still joke about our weights. But the good thing is: we’re happier now, and content with how life has turned for each and everyone of us.
