WWho, besides me, is SICK and tired of all the diet center commercials?



Recommended Posts

Seriously! It's every single commercial!! If it's not about a diet center, it's about a diet supplement, or a super duper magic somethingerother, where if you BUY into it, you'll lose massive amounts of weight....GUARANTEED!!!! I'm thinking about quitting TV and just sticking with Netflix. The commercials just make me mad. They RUINED me. Those diet centers did. They made me yo-yo for 30 years. GRRR Ok, I'm done now. Thanks for letting me vent.

Fear not! January will be over soon and the weight loss rush will slow down as New Year's resolutions fade...

It's not just the TV. Back when I was a regular at the Y, January was awful: no parking, crowded locker room, etc. once February rolled around everything started to go back to normal.

EVERY year [heck, every darn week!!] I used to wonder, should I try this one or that one [diet plan, gym, etc]

NOW...Those commercials don't bother me a BIT! Last year this time, I was only 4 weeks or so post-op. NOW--one year later--I hear them and say, THANK GOD I don't have to worry about ANY of that anymore!!!!!!!!!" And I want to tell everyone, "free yourself of all that angst. WLS worked fine for me and it likely will for you, too."

The ads will be a part of life, so don't even trip about them. They are no longer your personal concern. Don't trip out about things you cannot change. Also, as others said, they'll die down soon.

PS: If you need something to focus on, pray for me that I can get off these last 20 pounds! I admit I got comfortable and complacent after I reached Onederland in May; and into the 180s after that. But I want to get to ~160-165 by the end of March, perhaps.

There have been a few shows on the "latest" diet fads. I've watched a few of them, including brain stimulation. I think I am more amused knowing that I have tried and failed so many diet fads. When they are over, I just shake my head and laugh. It's been 3 months since watching them. Before, I would hang on every word and think maybe it would be worth trying. Now, I can't stand to watch them, let alone hear people talk about them.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
