Quick fix

I'm not back on the heroin blog again. I've been looking at diet advertisements on TV and the net, and I can't believe how many quick fix diets there are out on the market today. What is even more surprising to me is that people actually believe the claims these charlatans make. Why have we been led to believe that everything can happen instantly. What ever happened to the statement; "Rome wasn't built in a day." That statement has been replaced by marketing words such as; instant, quicker, faster, and lighting speed. The Madison Ave. boys have done their job well because people actually believe this crap.

Dieting, changing your food habits, is a process. Instead of people doing the hard work and reconditioning it takes to make a change they get a lap band or even quicker fix, liposuction, face lifts, tummy tucks, belly button reconstruction, bla bla bla. It's not healthy to loose too much weight too fast.

Here this, and here it loud and clear. There is no such thing as phenomena. Ask any scientist. Stars don't just explode. Comets don't suddenly appear out of nowhere. It's all a process. Everybody, yes even me, wants everything right NOW. I just went on line looking for the answer to; "How much money do Americans spend on diets and weight loss products each year?" What I got in response was adds for diet products. I too was expecting some instant results with that search. It was 46.3 billion in 2004 that people spent on diets.

I can't remember the name of the product which claims that all you need to do is sprinkle their fairy dust on your food, and your body fat will just melt away. "Just look at these skinny bitches I paid to tell you it's true."  These fucking people should be locked away for screwing folks, and the people who believe them should be slapped, and told to wake the fuck up.

Take this pill and all your troubles will go away. Take this prescription and your sex life will be magic again, but if that hard-on lasts more than 4 hours better call a doctor.  If I could get an erection to last 4 hours I'd be calling some hookers. I've been all over the world, and I've always said that I felt Americans are the most stupid and most arrogant people I've ever met. I'll be the first to admit that I'm an idiot, what's your fucking excuse?

I went into this life change/diet thing realizing #1) I might fail and look like the fool once again, which never stopped me from doing anything before, and it won't now. Nothing ventured, nothing gained #2) I might succeed, and be in better health as a result of changing my habits. Again, nothing ventured, nothing gained. #3) It will be hard work. #4) I will fuck up from time to time, and that is a guarantee.

Change doesn't come easy, it's hard work. Like Ringo said; "Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues." I never get anything right the first time, and that has been true my whole life. I'm the mistake man. That's how I've learned, by trial, or in most cases, by error. Theories and degrees are wonderful, but life experience trumps theory any day. I usually get it right if I keep trying.

In conclusion, buyer beware. I know this woman who was obese and she got the lap band. It eventually worked, but before not before it almost killed her. Sprinkling that crap on your food will not make you thin again. There are no quick fixes. That face lift might make you look 10 years younger now, but you'll be back at the body factory again in another 5 years. Have you seen Melanie Griffith, Joan Rivers, Cher,  John Travolta, Paul McCartney? There is nothing in this universe that it perfect. In fact, inprefection is perfection.

 It's all hard work. The sooner we all realize it, the better off we'll be. Gotta go walk a dog.
