Ebay is a great place to get la weight loss bars at a discount I'm on Atkins and the Advantage bars are SO expensive. They can cost over $2 a bar - easily! By shopping around on Ebay I can get them for $1 or less a bar. Most times the bars are within the expiration date but I don't care (they are meal bars; they are shelf stable for LONG past the expiration time), or slightly melted (they still taste the same). Anyway, it is worth it to save so much. So, go ahead, check Ebay. Just recently I bought well over a hundred La Weight Loss bars on there in my favorite flavors. I'm prepared for a long time, lol! Remember that the councilors at La Weight Loss are commissioned sales persons. They will find a BS reason to convince you into getting your bars from La Weight Loss centers. Just explain to them you picked up the LA bars from a friend who left the program or some other story. They can't say much about it. The bars were so cheap on Ebay that I figured I would complete the program with them, but wasn't sure if they would let it count. But picking up the bars doesn't break the agreement. The agreement only requires eating 2 bars a day, it doesn't specify that you must buy them from La Weight Loss centers. Take a look at your agreement and verify it for yourself...and how about that....half price, can't beat that! But unfortunately there are people out there that take things to the extreme and dieting is no exception. If you feel your dieting is getting out of control, inpatient eating disorder treatment may be for you. Inpatient eating disorder treatment is often avoided because people with eating disorders normally believe that they are not worthy of relief. If you believe you are in need of relief, you ought to discourse about this with your physician. If there is a list of things that are going wrong in your life because of an eating disorder, you are undeniably ready for inpatient treatment. Being at a healthy or unhealthy body mass doesn't determine whether or not you have an eating disorder. Individuals die from eating disorder symptoms such as; binging and purging, taking laxatives, induced vomiting while still maintaining a perfectly ordinary body weight. You need assistance coping with your trouble in a good manner and inpatient eating disorder treatment can instruct you. Ask your clinician for a referral.
