money is everything

often times, one cannot read the newspapers, magazines, or watch the television, or even movies, without coming across slimming ads nowadays. i could be contradicting myself by putting 'often times' and 'nowadays' in the same sentence, but thats for the grammer police. in the past, one could just dismiss these ads as targeting the niche market. now it seems as though going for a slimming programme is the trendiest thing right here right now. hell, there's even tv reality shows of slimming.

is it really so hard to get slim? or rather, let me pose it this way; is it really so hard to lose weight? i could easily drop a few kilos if i skip a few meals, get a fever, or just sleep through the day. i guess in the end, it all boils down to money. let me put it this way, if one has no money, or rather, lack of money, one would often think where would the existing cash be spent on. food? if one currently has only enough money for 1 meal a day, would that aid the person to cut down on his/her food intake, thus causing him to lose weight? there, problem solved, cheap, easy, and you dont need to spend a ton of money on those slimming pills, gym memberships, etc.(because you dont have any)

but then again, i could be jabbering nonsense in this post.
