Weight for It

So there are millions of people out there who have determined that this is the year that they will finally lose the extra weight they are carrying around.  You can tell that by the barrage of weight loss products being hawked on TV and the special get-in-shape section at the end of every aisle.  This is the #1 annual resolution, and commercialism is there to get it done for you.

In the fitness industry, there is a name for those parking place stealing, cardio-machine hogging people that only show up for a month or so every year - it's "poinsettias."  Like the flower, they bloom in all of their glory, and fade by February.  But for a short time, they are committed!

In the midst of all of this, there is one company that is encouraging you to "Help yourself to happiness."  Let's face it, getting up in the cold pre-dawn hours, dragging yourself to the gym, and sweating for a while does not sound like the most fun on the planet.  So why not have a little "happiness" to go with it?

At this point, you're probably wondering where you can sign up to just "Help yourself to happiness."  Heck, I want to get in line too, and that's exactly what we'll be doing for our happiness at the Golden Corral Buffet.  You can serve up happy as much as you want for one low price.

I wonder how much the fitness industry is paying Golden Corral to advertise all that happiness?
