This was the way an ad started out. I was able to fit in a NordicTrack
session in between clients this morning and was watching daytime
television (something I very, very rarely do.) I was caught by this
commercial: were they going to actually SAY that the person in the
mirror had some responsibility for being over-weight?

No, of course not. They wanted you to look in the mirror to see your
fat belly so you could understand it was a cortisol response to be
blamed. In fact, they specifically said, "it's not your fault." Buy
this product and you can tame the cortisol response.

Sigh. For a moment there... well, I thought maybe they were on to
something.

Dally, who couldn't look in the mirror because she was NordicTracking


Well, it was published in Redbook and Ladies Home Journal (article or
ad?) so it must be true!

I couldn't sleep Friday night so I turned the television on around 2:00am.
I think every channel must switch to infomercials after their regular
programming.
