Default Diet pills helped me!!

Diet Pills do work!!!

I was feeling pretty tired when I came home from work today. I normally try to ride my mountain bike at least 10 miles a day or so. I was sitting on the couch watching TV pretty much decided that I didn't feel like going for a bike ride.

Then a snake oil diet pill ad came on.. While listening to the announcer proclaim the amazing results of the product, I realized that I've already lost almost as much as the guy on the ad supposedly did. This realization snapped me out of my lazy mindset.

My motivation recharged, I got off the couch and went for a bike ride. Within moments I was wide awake, enjoying the breeze and feeling good. My mood drastically improved.

Thank diet pills and your motivational ads!!!

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
