Diet Pills and Commercials
I am sitting here watching T.V. and up pops a commerical for another diet pill. My problem with this one, is that it starts with a woman who is maybe a size 12 saying how miserable she is with her weight, and how grateful she is to be down to a size 4. She looked normal before, and now I can see her ribs. There needs to be some kind of help for people who think ribs are sexy. The commerical goes on to say that if you need to lose "a significant amount of weight" then this is the one for you. I don’t see where a size 12 should be ready to use drugs to slim down. If you are unhealthy, then get yourself heathly. But these pictures show what I would consider normal woman. Is it my perception that is askew or theirs?

your perception is on point. I have wondered for years why in commercials like this that they don’t include individuals that look like they actually use the product they are promoting.

I aplaude people like Naomie Campbell who are refusing to listen to the media any more. I am glad that many of the pro models are becoming more normal sized. When will designers clue in that if they want to sell they have to design for what the public’s physical atributes are like.

P.S. Diet pills are not the answer. They don’t work. I once was dumb enough to try them. In my opinnion it is all a scam to get your money. If you want to lose weight excercise and a healthy eating program is all you need.
