They started early this year, those gym and weight reduction commercials that assault us every time we turn on the television. They have a great hook, one that a majority are taken in by every single year. The New Year's Resolution. That one time where you pledge to do something different, better, more often all in the name of new year. A flip of the calendar. Seriously? If you didn't get my message last year when I painted the scenario: resolve, join gym or diet program, go great guns for a week or two, get tired. . .or hungry, cheat, self flagellate, try again, give up. The result? Dollars thrown away and unnecessary guilt all because you felt compelled to announce a resolution when the calendar changes. Who wins? The gym, the diet program and now the self help centers that are ready to rush in and repair your ego. . .for a price. I've said it before and I'll say it again, DON'T DO IT! Instead, join me for some red wine and dark chocolate. That's my kind of good health!
You're not going to listen to me, are you?
On a positive note, I am sponsoring a book give away for my book, Is It Just Me? or Is Everyone a Little Nuts! I have 2 books to give away to any new followers or current followers who bring in a new follower between now and January 5. I will announce the winners on the 6th. Thanks! And Good Luck!
I don't believe in New Year's resolutions and I'm never hooked by stuff hawked on TV because.....I don't watch TV (well, couple hours per week).
ReplyDeleteI have always disliked those resolutions. Last year I kept mine. Not to make any resolutions.
