Someone sent this to me in an email:
As I was washing my hair in the shower this morning, I took time to read my shampoo bottle. I was in shock! The shampoo I use in the shower that runs down my entire body says “for extra volume and body”! Seriously, why have I not noticed this before?!?
Tomorrow I am going to start using “Dawn” dish soap. It says right on the bottle, “dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove.” It pays to read the labels, my friends! I am also going to add “Downy Wrinkle Releaser” as a rinse!
While this made me smile – I have to concede that most people are looking for this kind of “magic” solution to their struggles with weight. We have all seen the advertisements for pills, shakes, and teas that promise a quick answer, not to mention the dozens of pre-packaged food plans or pieces of exercise equipment. But the truth remains, the things that are really important require work. If a relationship is important, you have to work to cultivate it and keep it healthy. If your job is important, you can’t just show up when (or if) you feel like it. And if losing weight is important, you have to work at it consistently, making a lifetime of healthy choices. If there really were a magic remedy, then there wouldn’t be anyone who was overweight.
