Food Ads Are Your Enemy

So you are sitting there watching TV, a show you really enjoy. Of course the commercial breaks happen. Some are for food, greasy, fattening foods that make your mouth water. You WANT some of this food badly. You might get up and go look in the kitchen to see if there is any food which might relieve your craving. Would you even get in the car and drive to the Cheesecake Factory to get a calorie packed snack? It is my husband’s favorite restaurant. Their portion size is OUT OF CONTROL.

What you have to do is GET MAD at food advertisements! They are looking to subversively entice you to buy their products. They don’t give a damn about the US weight problem. So turn the channel, or at least turn down the volume and look at a magazine for a few minutes. Get up and get a drink of water or something. Just don’t watch those ads.

Have you noticed that when the TV goes into advertisements, the volume gets MUCH louder. I know that used to be illegal, maybe it still is, but TV stations still do it. I get back at them by muting the TV during ads. So there, HAH!
