AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !

Suddenly I'm okay with my weight! It's like something from a Vincent Price movie! "The Belly Snatcher!"

Sometimes I just get sick of them expecting me to know what they mean. Phooey.

They're selling diet pills. Specifically, they're selling something called "acai berry extract". No, it doesn't work, but it must pull in tons of cash, since the ads are everywhere. I actually am losing weight with a spoonful of organic apple cider vinegar mixed into eight ounces of water, twice a day, and somewhat watching my calorie intake. But of course you can't sell that for $40 for 30 pills-the vinegar bottles are like $5 a pint. Supposedly, the unknown people behind herbal diet pills are putting REAL medicinal substances in them, such as the active ingredient in Meridia, an appetite suppressant medication. Dosages are all over the place-there is zilch controls over it. It's not exactly harmless. The key ingredients in many designer medications are made in China, actually, and tons of it gets siphoned off for cheap "herbal" pills. I am really fed up with these diet pill ads, but WP needs the cash. I'd rather have the presence of WP than the lack of acai berry ads.

Try retracing your steps until you find it. Always works.

Thank you! I was beginning to think my joke had just completely died. I mean, it wasn't a great joke, but then, it wasn't really mine, it was the silly embedded ad. Like I'd ever buy a weight loss gimmick. They're all the same. If they were legitimate, they wouldn't be spamming my inbox.

And frankly, my stomach is the least of my problems. Unless I lose my entire belly in just 3 WEEKS!! ! Then I'd have a problem.

And, I might ad, it's always the last place you look. Unless you look below your navel.

I lost my belly in 3 weeks too.Since I started working at the Red Deer Superstore as a price checker.With my job, I run all over the store doing price checks and putting unwanted items away.I do this all day....its a pretty big store.

Theres only one other job where you can lose weight and make money doing so......the army. :D
