to
say
Amy

“I’m
too
gaunt
and
I
can’t
put
any
weight
on,”
about
her
appearance
and
continued
with,
“I
want
to
because
I
feel
I’m
too
skinny.
I’m
under
100
pounds,
and
I
don’t
want
to
be.
Be
careful
what
you
wish
for”.
Sharon,
who
started

says
she
has

warning
not

give
it
to
teenagers
as
it’s
so
easy
to
become
addicted
to
the
viral
weight
loss
drug.
