Radio Talk Show Host Promises to Take Diet Pills, So Listeners Won't

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) June 16, 2008 -- Becoming Thin Within, Internet Radio's Unique Perspective on Weight Loss with host, Deborah J. Wright broadcasting on the TalkZone.com network from outside Nashville, TN, has decided it is about time someone step up and look out for the desperate weight loss consumers out there instead of against them. The weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and weight loss pills are a huge portion of it. As a reformed chronic yo-yo dieter herself and now a Nutritional Counselor, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Certified Personal Trainer, Wright had taken many diet pills in the past always hoping that THIS one would be the magic pill to end her depression, self-hate and self-loathing over her weight issues.

Unfortunately, none of those diet pills provided an answer for Wright and even made things worse. Not only did they make her feel jittery or anxious or nervous or ill (or all of the above), they messed with her mind so much that she didn't know what she was doing or why half of the time. "I remember taking some diet pills I had bought many years ago in desperation thinking each time I put them in my mouth that these were probably the most unsafe pills I had ever taken and could probably kill me." Wright recalled. Of course, that was her rational conscious talking, but her subconscious was telling her she was fat and ugly and need to do whatever it took to lose weight. Wright continued "When my husband found them, he told me under no circumstances would I continue taking those things; that it was suicidal," and he was right.

Wright doesn't wholly blame the diet pill or weight loss industry in all of this. They're really just responding to consumer demand. If we as buyers didn't want that quick fix, there'd be no reason to make these pills. Diet drugs, both prescription and over the counter have gone under quite a bit of scrutiny and there have been warnings and recalls on both over the years.

Because Wright knows what's going on in the hearts and minds of those desperate to lose weight, she understands that just telling them to stop taking them because they're bad for you won't work. She's tried that in her private counseling practice, yet "Just the other day, I had a client tell me she decided to try a new pill on the market, and she KNEW I would be against it." Therefore, Wright thought that if she went out and bought the latest and most highly advertised "miracle" pill herself, took it as instructed and gave honest feedback and reviews comparable to the promises made, perhaps some (if not all) of her listeners would wait to buy them until they heard the review, which would then show them that the miracle isn't one at all keeping them from spending their money, time and hopefully saving their health as well.

"Deborah sprung this on me while we were doing the show one day," said Robin Ribeiro, Wright's side-kick on the Becoming Show and Certified Personal Trainer/Owner of 3D Fitness, "I held in my surprise as she was announcing it to the listeners, but after we got off the air I told her I couldn't believe she was doing that and that it could be very dangerous." Wright knows very well of the dangers as she's experienced increased heart rate, fatigue, vomiting, headaches, light-headedness, etc from these pills personally, but because she knows people are going to buy these things regardless of the statistics, she might as well lead the pack, so when the followers see the leader stumble and fall, they'll know not to take the same steps.

Wright can be heard live on TalkZone.com every Thursday at 11:00 AM, CST and the show re-airs at 11:00 PM, CST on Thursday and once daily during the following six days. The Becoming Thin Within show can also be downloaded and podcast on demand at TalkZone.com or through the Becoming Thin Within web site.
