The All Dreaded BEFORE Picture . . . Dun Dun Dun!!




Here it is. At 170 lbs in all it's lumpy frumpy glory my "Before" isn't it purdy? I try to take a before pic so I can see the difference as I go along. I also try to make myself look as aweful as I can and then take it so that the difference will be amazing when I post my goal weight picture. Clever no? I always notice that that is what they do on the infomercials. Look how aweful and fat I was *insert picture with double chin, belly sticking out as far as you can push it, most unflattering stance, no make up and hair unkept looking like they just crawled out of bed* and then the after where their hair and make up is done, standing up straight and wearing the best clothes they have like woah what a difference! In reality it's probably them at the same weight photoshopped and wearing a girdle with a professional hair stylist. One of these times I'd love to see an infomercial that is honest about the weight loss like instead of it being at the bottom of the screen *actual result may vary and are not typical* Hmmm that helps me want to buy that exercise video. . .

Someday I will come up with my own ideal infomercial where the people have before pictures where they don't look like crap but you can still see the difference and the disclaimer at the bottom will say something like this.

*Results are pretty typical but they do vary and if you don't keep up at it you will end up fat and lazy and have no energy so stop watching this informercial and get your dumpy butt off the couch and do your workout video*

Yeah that's the type of video I'd buy :)
