Sit on Your Butt and Lose Weight

OMG! Could this be real?  For only two payments of $29.95, I can really strap on a girdle and eat potato chips and the fat will just melt away!! “WHERE’S THE PHONE?!”

Yep, ads like this kill me.  Now, don’t get me wrong…I have been sucked into some of these tricky little ads.  Yes, I’ll admit it, I actually gave in around 6 a.m. and bought the DVD “Shapely Secrets”…You know, the one where you flex your muscles and hold it for 60 seconds and your guaranteed to have a hot sexy body, and it’s way easy! I mean an 80 year old woman is advertising it and her body is tighter than mine! “WHERE’S THE PHONE!”

So, needless to say, I received my magical box of Shapely Secrets, $19.95 later, and used it twice…I’m looking at it collecting dust under my TV as I type.  I must say that my rear end was sore after I “squeezed my fanny” a few times…so I guess it did do something.

The point is this:  There is no miracle DVD or strap on garment or magic wand that will make you lose weight….I know, sad but true, your itch for instant gratification will cost you more like two payments of $3500 at your local plastic surgeons office…and that’s about it.  So, we need to just go back to the basics, do what we learned from Barney, and eat apples and bananas. . . I’ll tell you an amazing secret…free of charge, shipping and handling included:  Take in fewer calories than you burn, AND YOU’LL LOSE WEIGHT!  SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Don’t tell anyone I told ya!

So, start your New Years resolution off right.  Buy some low fat, healthy, REAL food.  Cook at home, workout at least 3-4 days a week and you’ll not only lose weight, but you’ll save some money and feel great!

Ahhh…If only I took my own advice…
