Guilt by commercial 

  

My daughter love sthat phrase. I was in teh kitchen last night, I hadnt eaten dinner and i was lookingf or something cool and refreshing. So I ttok out my ice cream and am easured portion of cornflakes and was going to have that with a glass of protin tea. When who appears.. Ruichard simmons in teh new Yopliat commercial. Ok I have never been one to be influenced but that commercial just got ot me, I felt so guilty eating a measured portion. that I literally did ahve a yogurt( pineapple upside down cake) and afte I did that I did about ten minutes worth of exercise.
Every timeI see that commerical I feel so bad for eating something I know I shouldnt. So, is it subliminal or is is something else.
The way I see it, if his commercials ran more often I probably would stick to a diet better.

lol....maybe you need to record it and watch it whenever you are about to sabotage your diet? I know what you mean though. I was binging the other day when Dr. Phil's Weight Loss Challenge episode aired and I felt so bad for eating!

Myself I do not let commercials influnce me or make me feel bad about eating or anything else. I guess that is their point though.

Thats funny jimmy. Hahaha. I get that way sometimes too. I think they try to guilt you into buying their diet plan. Just like Jenny Craigs commercials. I want to know if Valarie really ate those meals of hers. lol Iv`e heard they were gross. Maybe thats why you lose weight ya can`t eat them lolol

Some commercials are funny that way and it can be good or bad for you depending what they are showing. Most people will flip the channel before getting up to exercise though.

I've heard that Jenny Craigs meals are boring and not very satisfying. I too wonder if those spokespeople really are doing the diet.

We do get influence by commercials if we often watched them. That's why companies are willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to get it shown over and over again in the TV. They hope that the thing that they shown will permanently occupied some cells in your brain.

I love it- I tell you when I'm watching "The Biggest Loser" I have a hard time snacking at all. I also drink plenty of water through the whole episode.

I like the idea of taping the commercial and playing it back when you are going for something naughty!

The only thing that commercial makes me feel is sad that he's still wearing the same clothes since he made it big, lol. I prefer to feel guilty staring at my jeans I can't fit in any more.

OMG I though that was only my daughter and me that felt so awful eating during Biggest looser.

I lve Richard Simmons though, so much respect for teh man. I guess thats why it botheerd me so. My daughter and I watch teh Biggest LOoser nad we are like Oh I can do that, and we do some of teh exercises too during teh show, so we kinds get a work out.

Its amazing how something like tat can influence you at least once a week.

I just cant stand Jillian, shes so argh.. and I felt so bad this last week when she mentioned teh only way this guy was going to get off treadmill was if he died,,a nd the doctor said he woudl ahve.. only 3o minutes 3 times a week., and you knwo what, andhe lost the same as those guys that went nuts doing all that workout!
what does that tell you..
