When you really think about some of the things people try to make themselves lose weight - it is amazing. From diet pills, and surgery that removes part of your stomache and reroutes your intestines, to Thigh Masters, and Buns Of Steel videos - yep, we'll try it all. Not to mention the countless fad diets and maybe even over doses of fiber or laxatives (I've never actually tried some of these - and if y'all know how much I HATE public bathrooms, you can GUARANTEE I'm not about to OD on laxatives).
However, V and I thought we'd go get exercise DVD's that suited our personalities. Now, this was a few weeks back. I had an appointment across town, so we met at Best Buy and picked out videos. Not surprising, V picked out Latin Dancing. Then, in the midst of all these choices, the clouds parted, the angels sang, and V handed me a Line Dance Away the Pounds video. Now, why we even thought these would be cool, don't ask. We made our purchases and headed directly to Red Robin so I could eat a burger. Nice.
To say these DVD's were lame would be really giving them more credit that what they deserve. They passed lame and kept right on going into an all new category. Picture this...the two of us sitting on V's couch, laughing our behinds off at what these folks looked like...one girl complete with jean skirt to exercise in. WHAT??? Who heard of exercising in a skirt?
Anyways...I'm tired of the fads. I'm tired of starving myself, eating no carbs, eating enough citrus to turn my skin funny colors, watching infomercials on how to lose weight in JUST TEN MINUTES. I'm ready to just start treating myself right.
