Why Would They Solve It ?

I have a stinking head cold at the minute, I have felt really rough all week and feel worse today to the point I am laying in bed and just haven't got the energy to get up.

I was chatting with someone last night about flu/cold remedies and the fact I was drinking some ultra lemon drink with loads of different drugs in but that actually it wasn't making me feel much better.

They then said to me that it wasn't in the interest of the flu/cold drugs industry to fix the problem and make me better, because if they were to say cure the common cold, or create a pill which immediately made you feel better then the industry would go bust and they would lose millions and millions of pounds a year.

It reminded me of when I was a kid when I asked my Dad why they didn't make a lightbulb that didn't last forever and he said the same thing, why would they ?

Anyway my point is why would the diet industry look for a successful product that helped people trim down long term ? I have always taken the logic that if one person can get slim and stay slim without dieting then we all can but the more I look at the industry the more I realise it is not only designed for failure it relies on failure to be able to survive.

Therefore my advice to anyone is to do one more diet, just one ! get slim on it and then give up the dieting lifestyle, it has been nearly five years for me now and I haven't touched a formal diet since, and for that reason I don't obsess over food anymore and I don't beat myself up all the time.

Just remember who has your best interests at heart!
