Fibbers

Further to my previous post regarding weight loss, I happened to be listening to a news programme yesterday.
I say 'news programme' as opposed to 'the news' as this was not entirely (at all) truthful.

It caught my attention when I heard someone, who was representing a doctor, talking about weight loss and this whole new way of losing the flab.
She didn't actually say she was a doctor but the impression was there.
At first I was intrigued and interested in what was being said.  There was a woman with her who claimed to have lost a vast amount of weight using this new method.
After making numerous claims about this infallible way to get back in trim, the 'doctor look-a-like' said, "Yes you come along to our clinic where we can re-set your metabolism so that you will be able to eat normally and the weight will just fall off."
Oh yes.....really??
She went on........."Yes our pills  (ha!!! pills!) will re set your metabolism so that you can lose weight without any effort.
"Bullsh*t" !!!!
How dare they put this on as if it were true when all they are trying to do is peddle useless pills, for vast amounts of money with worthless claims.
If there were any safe pills for reducing weight then doctors would have been dishing them out willy nilly by now.
I remember some prescription pills being given out a few years ago that caused many health problems, heart failures and deaths before being withdrawn.
All the time companies can make money out of people with diet pills, crazy diet foods, and weight loss fads, they will keep telling us how dreadful it is to be overweight.

Donna and Lauren should be arriving in Chicago around noon tomorrow.
It has been a difficult, stressful year for them getting all the paperwork in order.
There have been many hurdles to overcome but I truly hope that once they are here, things will settle down.
I am sure their cats will be pleased to see them.
There will be many tears shed tomorrow when they arrive.  I wish them a safe, uneventful and boring trip from Ashford to our house in Milwaukee.
