Dieting in America!

For the longest time I have struggled with weight loss. And I have a few friends who deal with it as well. Come to think of it, I bet most people are dealing with it. I have tried many diets, like many people they work for alittle while then you kinda just sway away from them. I write about this because a few days ago I was at home just relaxing and I turn on the television and what pops up is an infomercial for a weight loss product. The product which I will not name, but I am sure you will guess it’s name once I describe it. It seems like a very simple method of dieting. You simply sprinkle the powder on your food before you eat it. That’s all!! It does not matter what you eat, just sprinkle it on the food.

Supposedly the powder must have some kind of reaction on you when you eat as you are supposed to feel fuller and eat less! That’s amazing! If its true can you imagine what a great product that would be? And guess what they will ship you two months of this stuff and you only pay shipping charges! Total cost was for the two months about $17.00. But wait you have to enroll and guess what else? After you enroll they will send you your monthly supply automatically and will charge your credit card $89.00 per month!!! They also want you to stay on the diet for atleast 6 months!!! You have to give it time to work of course.

Did I buy it? No freaking way!!! I am sure that even if this thing worked probably at $89.00 per month you could join a gym cut back on your eating and lose the weight as well. Now onto me! I have decided that I will eat smaller portions on the meals and continue my walking. I have come to realize that I am the controller of this body and while many time we allow our body to control us. It’s time that we took control. If I eat healthier, smaller portions, and workout should help out alot. I know that the will power has to be there for this or any diet to work. But I have noticed that we in America, which is a great country we over indulge. By the way if you want to over indulge go right ahead it is your right! But I have decided that I am gonna cut down, cut back, and keep my body under control.

If you are on a diet, I wish you the best. If you are sprinkling powder on your foods I hope it works for you. I do congratulate you on any diet that you are doing as you are trying to do something to better your health.

God Bless,
