Winter Weight

Thought the seasons have come and gone, the tide of our diets are now in a slow up-swing. Never before have we, as a people, thought so intently on loosing those unshakable, unwanted pounds. Though this isn't a new fad by any stretch, it, now more than ever, has become a want of epidemic proportions.

Everyday, while skimming though my recorded television, during my fast-forwarding through the adverts, I notice, just how many ways we look at weight as an issue. Diet pills, drinks, pills, meals, pills, clinics, pills, pills pills...and the occasional weight loss program special with Dr. Good-Fella.

Then the trickle down effect takes occurs, the exercises equipment, the fitness gyms; all a side effect to the dietary need. And finally, the conclusion of the circus comes on hanger filled racks with pretty trim and accessories dangling in department windows..."This is the answer!" Perhaps two answers for that matter, one: I feel better when I shop; and two: Finding that next new now necessity that will not only look new and pretty, but will be specially fit to hide those unwanted curves.

Though nothing can fully answer the winter gloom (except a weekend getaway in Cancun), one thing is for certain, Spring is just around the corner. Perhaps not soon enough for some.
