Physician, heal thyself (or at least put new rims on the Beemer)

I'm sure we are all aware of the big issue, no pun intended, concerning obesity.

Are you aware of the new craze involving women going to "doctors"
(yes that was in quotes and you would see me making that gesture were we speaking in person)
for "lipo-B" shots?

Uh huh.
this is the part where we say... HAHAHAHAHAHA.

So these women sit in an office once a WEEK, pay out anywhere from $25-$50 in CASH to get a shot in the hip of.........

(drumroll please)

vitamins and amino acids.


I take vitamins and amno acids too.
I buy a 60 day supply at WalMart for $6.

Here is a quote I pulled from a website touting the virtues of this wonder weight loss product.
"These injections are set up to be used in conjunction with a diet and exercise program."

DIET & EXERCISE???
are ya SURE?

genius.
There is no other word.
These NON-doctors have figured out a way to make a NON-TAXABLE income from a product you can give YOURSELF that you probably are not even really deficient of.

PLUS, they get the added bonus of selling you Phentermine (half of phen-fen which was pulled off the market in 1997 for KILLING people)

~and no, they are not certain of the effects of phentermine, but it is for OBESITY, not the trophy wife lookin to drop a little Mocha Latte weight.

Let's re-cap.

You can PAY up to $200 per month AND waste an average of 1.5 hours a week
(yes HUH you would, drive time & wait time)
PLUS!
~act now and you can also pay for a "doctor" visit at a minimum of $50, another HOUR per week and a PRESCRIPTION for Phentermine/Adipex (the generic phentermine)!

YAY!

.................................all without seeing an ACTUAL M.D.
(these services are most commonly offer by chiropractors and nurse practitioners and are NOT covered by insurance)


This all seems reasonable.

Oh wait,

NO

IT

DOESN'T!

Geez people, it isn't brain surgery.
Take a walk.
Eat a Salad.
Play a sport
Stop drinking sodas
Mow your own grass
Play with your kids/dog
Join a gym (don't tell me you can't afford it. one month is the same as ONE Lipo-B shot)


you do not need magic beans.

say it with me.

"I do not need magic beans"
"I do not need magic beans"
"I do not need magic beans"

~now get off the computer
~take a multi-vitamin
~keep your money in your pocket and use your time more wisely.
