Background on me: 26 years old, been lifting for about 5-6 years. Current weight about 230, with 15% BF. From the ages of 13-17, I was extremely overweight, eventually topping out at 280. I eventually started lifting weights, got a very physically demanding job stocking/unloading trailers at a retail store, and took my first bottle of "Ripped Fuel" with ephedra. After a year I got down to 170. At 170 I felt awesome, but eventually got tired of being the thin guy and started to bulk a little. My weight has fluctuted throught the years, but for the past 2 years I have been comfortable with the 220 range. My problem is ever since I took my first dose of ripped fuel, I feel the need to always take a thermo, no matter what. Almost like a multivitamin, I feel the need to pop them in my mouth like candy. No exaggeration; in the past nine years, the longest I have ever gone without a "fat burner" is probably 2 months. I know this isnt good, but I have this psychological dependence on them, like if I stop taking them I will baloon back up to 280, like when I was 17. Even when I was at a decent weight (215-220, 34in pant size), I took a thermo. When they banned ephedra, I thought this was my opportunity to stop taking them, but instead I just took all the ephedra free crap that came out.
Am I the only one out their with this dependence on the "fat burner"? Its come to the point where I will go in a deep depression without that caffeine/thermogenic feel. Now with the judge throwing out the ban on the original ephedra, im afraid Ill start stocking up.
Just wanna hear some thoughts.
Thanks for reading.
