DON'T TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW

I get so tired of all the "experts" who are on TV this time of year - actually now that fat is the new enemy of America, they are on TV all the time - telling us all kinds of stuff we already know.  Do those people think we don't know we should eat less and exercise?  Not call it a diet?  (Like calling it a Health Plan changes what it is.) That sugar is bad and veggies are good?  Wow!  Who knew?

Each one has his or her special plan and words of wisdom.  I am sure that sometimes people hear something that strikes them in a new way, that motivates them or gives them a mantra to help them get through the tough days of changing their habits.  And without a doubt, it does take a change in your life, not a temporary change in what you eat to be succesful in the long run.  It is just very irritating to hear these (frequently emmaciated) people suggesting that the satisfaction of "just have this instead of that" works for everyone, forever.  And one size fits all.

 Rant over.
