The pills will not help you deal with your emotional eating and your weight loss will not be long term until you learn to deal with the behaviors that make you over eat. The pills are bad for your overall health mostly because of the ingredient in them and the fact that most people need more and more of them to keep the original feeling they get (less hunger etc.)

Diet pills are a bandaid they do not "cure" fatness. Only you learning to eat in a responsible/healthy way will allow you to have longlasting weightloss results.
Good Luck!

Agreed. You have to be more active and learn to eat properly. Relying on pills is unhealthy, and usually doesn't work.
