At What Effort for Slimness?

Have you ever waken up in the early morning when it's still several hours away from dawn and turned on your television set? I have and it's kind of messed up and depressing. I say depressing because there's nothing on worth watching except for celebrities selling trashy jewelry, skin creams, cooking products, weight loss equipment, and supplements that "burn of those unwanted pounds in weeks"! If it weren't for my expensive movie channels and the news there wouldn't be any reason to even turn on the set until after sun-up. Scanning the major channels I've encountered wrist and ankle weight therapy, a hcg weight loss program, a revamped Suzanne Summers Thigh Master with a new and improved name which I've already forgotten, and the usual assortment of treadmills and steppers. I won't even start on the stretching and aerobic jumping shows intended to get your blood pumping at 3 a.m.! My thumb got the exercise as I pushed the power button and went back to sleep knowing that the new and improved Thigh Master was smitten from my home once again!
