Dieting Pills
This pill blocks from absorbing a third of the fat that you eat, since you are not gaining fat you begin to lose lots of weight.
Some side affects are cramping, gas and uncontrollable bowel movements.
The negative affects are there has been rare cases of severe liver injury.
You are still able to eat whatever you want and not have to count calories because your body isn't physically absorbing as much fat. That i how it affects the brain.
The intrinsic reward from the pills is, feeling better about yourself on the inside.
The extrinsic reward is being able to fit into the smaller dress sizes, and being smaller.

So people force themselves to throw up.
They take laxatives.
Affects the brain because when they look at their body in the mirror they see fat instead of how their body really looks.
