A PILL OR AN INJECTION FOR EVERY PROBLEM?

Over a year ago, I came to the conclusion that it was about time for me to get serious about losing some weight. I was getting twice-a-year physicals and one of the things my doctor told me every time was that I was "pre-diabetic" meaning I needed to lay off of so many "sweets" and "carbs." It took me a year, but I lost over 35 pounds by watching what I ate and "treading on my treadmill" for two hours almost every day! 

To make sure I could do the treadmill thing, I parked it in front of the TV. Of course, I noticed how many pizza and fast-food commercials there are on TV which added to my biggest temptation of "night eating" which is my biggest temptation. 

The other thing I noticed was how many drug commercials there are on TV - oral and injectable.  I was amazed - no shocked - at how many there were in just one hour. At one point, I started writing them down and making a list. The message one gets is that there is a pill for every ache, pain and aggravation. Most of my list are prescription drugs and only a couple or so are over-the-counter. No wonder we have a serious drug problem in the United States - licit and illicit! 

Here is part of my growing list of drug commercials that I wrote down in a few hours period - some were actually repeated more than once or twice.
