Losing weight the wrong way?

Question

I heard that laxatives help you lose weight so I went and bought some. Then I was reading about it and all that came up were these extreme stories where some women were taking 30-100's a day. I'm thinking geez. Maybe I shouldn't do it then, but at the same time I don't even want to look at myself in the mirror anymore. I'm thinking one a day will be okay along with a good diet and exercise. So it's not like I'm being extreme right ? 
I've been struggling for years with the way I look. Always losing weight the right way by going to the gym and eating good, then I quit. Then I'm right back to calling myself fat & hating myself for quitting and lack of motivation. It's a constant battle and all I want is to lose 20 pounds but can never get there. It's not even like I'm setting an unrealistic goal or trying to be 105 pounds. I'm just struggling :(

Opinions ?
Suggestions?
Has anyone tried laxatives?

Answer

It's a form of bulimia. Please don't do it.

Answer

It is not healthy and you can become extremly dehydrated. I wouldnt do it

Answer

Pooping doesn't stop you from gaining weight from calories the food has made it all the way to poop which is waste nutrients have been absorbed as well as fat and calories.
That will tear your guts up
I suggest seeking help from a counselor.
Who can get you a meal plan, exercise plan, and emotional support.
Good luck

Answer

You guys are awesome. 
I won't. Just wanted opinions from people that know more about it than me! Should've read about it more before I bought them! Haha

Answer

Please don't.  It's not even remotely healthy for you.  I promise that diet and exercise will work.  But you have to be determined and dedicated.  I was able to lose 120lbs with good old fashioned hard work.  20lbs is a very reachable goal.  You've got this!

Answer

Please don't. That's a really dangerous way to lose weight. You can really mess up your bowels by using laxatives. If you want to lose weight, you really should do it the healthy way. It takes longer, but you'll feel better

Answer

This is a bad idea. Laxatives are NOT the way to go. Try changing your diet but do not do laxatives.

Answer

Using laxatives can be a form of bulimia. It's not healthy for you. So you should stick to A good diet and exercise. When using laxatives if you use them right after you eat your body doesn't actually absorb any nutrition from the food because it doesn't have time to so no it's not ok.
