Oh, or the one I hate the most...
"(Whatever the product name is) is only for the seriously overweight. If you have just a few vanity pounds to use (I think its called Cortaslim) is not for you. Its much too powerful and much too expensive". Its like come on! Who buys that line of bull? Like I'm sitting at home watching the ad and thinking "that stuff can't work, oh wait, its expensive, so that MUST mean its works!"
I should have become an ad executive, that way I could tell people that their commercials suck. LOL

Lori,

I'm thinking I might like to be "the overweight wife of a pioneer on a chuckwagon." ;)

You do have a way with words! Are you a writer?

I know what you mean about those adds, and now that I'm pushing middleage (39 almost), I'm also aware of how many commercials--how much of TV in general--is targeted at the 15-34 year olds. All these prancing 20 year-olds. (Not that there's anything wrong with being 20!)

I'm not willing to try any kind of weight loss supplement, unless I'm certain that it's not going to do injury to my already precarious health. I am considering some different approaches though. I think I've stuck to the same old same old for too long.

And, you're right, we didn't gain weight eating celery, did we? I give myself the excuse of not being able to exercise more than very minimally, but I was obviously eating more than my body needed, even so.

Same reaction to "misses" vs. "women's," but I'm going to try to change my view: I shall become a powerful woman, who can handle life's unfairness and endless challenges, and I will earn my seat next to that pioneer. Maybe I'll even take over the reins!

Colly

Well, this thread perked up my otherwise boring day.
