Oy veh! I’ve seen a lot of ads for different kinds of weight loss aids and they all have equally confusing names. It’s gotten to the point where the names of all weight loss aids and all energy drinks sound like they fall into the same category to me.

Really – without looking them up could you tell which was which if I just said ‘lipo 6 black‘ or ‘diet turbo tea’? ‘lipo’ kinda says diet but ‘diet’ clearly says diet so which is which? I guess it all depends upon which aisle they show up on at the grocery store. If it’s in health it’s a diet aid and if it’s near the liquor it must be an energy drink.

I’m getting jaded.

Drug rehab may be something that you or a loved one find themselves in need of either now or in the future. If you do, you will want to be in the best possible place where you know you won’t just be spinning your wheels. Even though the internet is a wonderful place to do research for these sorts of things, it’s nothing compared to having a positive referral of a location from a person who has been there or has known someone who was truly helped by a specific program.

To that end you might want to join a support group and talk to the others in the group. Find out there experiences with different in- and out-patient rehab programs.

Surely your colon isn’t a body part that is always on your mind. I, myself have resolved to avoid all mention of it in polite conversation.

But this is the internet and nothing is polite on the internet.

So I will mention that I recently read about the benefits of a colon cleanse. Apparently you can detoxify your body this way which sounds amazing. I thought my liver did that job but maybe it just gets rid of toxins that are absorbed into the blood and not the stuff stuck in your colon.

Of course you want to do research on these things before you try them and that means not just using the internet to look them up but also talking to your doctor about whether or not the benefits have been substantiated.

I’ve been seeing plenty of commercials for lawyers asking for clients who have mesothelioma so they can sue for damages. I really never knew what it was so I looked it up today. Turns out it is a form of cancer that develops in the tissues surrounding many organs like the peritoneum or the pericardium. Apparently it is somehow triggered through exposure to asbestos.

Live and learn.

Since I’ve had kids I’ve put on a pound or two.

Ok, let’s face it – if it were just a pound or two I wouldn’t even notice. We’re talking somewhere in the 40-50 pound range. ( I want to go back and change that to 30-40 but I’m trying to be honest and it’s pretty appalling either way.)

I’ve thought about the many ways that I could change that issue and considered exercise, taking an appetite suppressant and just regular dieting. The main problem is probably that I just THINK about these ideas and don’t actually do much.

Is it ok to make a mid-June resolution to change that or do I have to wait until New Year’s?

Fine here goes – mid-June resolution – try one or more of these options in an effort to make it so that when New Year’s actually rolls around, I’ll be resolving to lose the last 20 pounds.
