Today I was on youtube looking for real people's experiences of various weight loss strategies. I'm so sick of ads that momentarily inflate the hope balloon, making you think that they might be able to provide "the solution." Really, here's what will happen: you'll end up wasting your time reading their webpage and then probably feel worse after succumbing to the emotional rollercoaster of hope - no hope. At least... hopefully you didn't actually buy into it and give them your credit card number (don't do it! Solidarity!)
So... there were a substantial number of video blogs about people's experiences with the so-called Master Cleanse, which I found very intriguing, if not totally persuasive (I reserve judgement till later, when I investigate further). I love youtube for allowing real people to share their experiences so easily... well, they seemed like real people and not fabrications by actors. Always be watchful. We have to collectively work not to get sucked in. Do I seem paranoid yet? How much paranoia belongs in Health Country?
Anyway, I was hoping to find a similar video blog on the subject of cellulite... if so many people have this problem, why the silence? It was starting to seem like the only people talking about it were the ones hoping to make a buck. But, to be real, I don't think I would want to post my dimply ass on youtube, and it's likely that not too many other people with this condition would jump at that idea either. So I guess it was unrealistic of me to hope for video blogs... I just wanted to see a real face. Changing my tactic, I came across a page that I'm very excited about... The Cellulite Investigation. The issues addressed are all too familiar... undesirable conditions that wouldn't otherwise appear related turn out to be symptoms of the same set of unhealthy circumstances? It all makes more sense! Now... the real work: to pin down those unhealthy circumstances and find a way to sustainably fix them. This site gives me hope... and a sense of "you're not in it for the money" kind of relief.
