weight loss tips
There's one word to describe late night TV: greasy. Why? Well, there are usually three types of programs: car dealership programs, home improvement shows, and weight loss programs. Car dealership programs have greasy car salesmen selling greasy used cars that make your fingers feel greasy as you let the money slip right away. Home improvement shows are greasy because the guys doing the home improvement are sweaty. And weight loss programs are greasy because they promise to make the greasy fat melt away. And let's not forget, those bodybuilders always look pretty greasy, too.
Tonight's focus was on weight loss tips for the rich and famous and poor and unknown. Grease, grease, grease. I normally don't pay much attention to late night programming, but after a long day and a few too many espresso shots, I had no choice but to remain alert. Caffeine is the best but worst drink ever.
I watched as greasy bodybuilder after greasy bodybuilder advertised these special weight loss pills guaranteed to make you lose huge globs of fat by the mere second!! It was amazing...well, it was supposed to look amazing. I don't really know how amazing those programs are. I mean, who knows just how effective those pills are?
I always wondered how we know how revolutionary these pills are, especially if they are advertised to be brand new. I mean, did all these people really get this buff over some new pills that were supposedly just discovered? It just sounds a little unbelievable to me.
Then again, I've always been the cynic of the group. Not that I need any weight loss pills anyway. At 5'3” and 120 lbs, I think I do a decent job of maintaining my own weight without the aid of supplements and other help. Then again, I don't mean to talk badly about weight loss aids because it would be just my luck that I have something smart to say and I end up turning into a big roly poly who can't fit through the door anymore. I'm sure the weight loss pills do help somewhat. It's good for those who need them, as my grandmother would say.
I switched channels, only to land on a nice car dealership. Greasy!! And it was in Spanish, to top it all off! Great! Of course, I always see programs like this as an opportunity for me to expand my limited Spanish vocabulary and exercise my skills. Si, yo hablo espanol...
