Wii Fit can go to hell.

This holiday weekend is one of the first of which I have become extremely weight conscious. I am a very short person. I also have really strong legs and used to be  skinny. That is, until I surrendered to my taste buds and gave in to the goodness that is ethnic foods, Pringles, and Baskin Robbins. (Not my fault that they have buy one get one free sundaes every Tuesday. Wednesday for Carvel btw) Anyway- I used to be able to eat WHATEVER I wanted and it would never affect me. 

Now that I'm well past my quarter century birthday, I see that my body reacts a little differently. There is fat distributed where it was never distributed before. My butt seems HUMONGOUS, and finding jeans simply sucks. I thought I had a pretty good handle on it lately, eating better, going to the gym, jogging around the park, blah blah blah.

I went so far as to order an omelette with egg whites. I eat vegetables and frozen yogurt. You'd think that doing this for the past month would give me some sort of progress?

Enter Wii Fit.

I don't understand why I wanted the damn thing in the first place. I remember when it was coming out I was thinking "YES!!! I can work out in my living room! So freaking sweet. Peace out New York Sports Club!!!" Then I heard the abuse that the Wii Fit gives to the person getting ready to play.... telling you you're overweight... that your BMI is far exceeding the normal range, that your real age is significantly older than how old you actually are... etc.

My aunt has recently become a proud owner of the Wii. She also owns the Wii Fit apparatus. I was excited to try it because I figured since people have noticed I lost weight that the Wii would applaud me for my efforts this past month.... Not so much.

My Facebook post to my good friend Cindy speaks VOLUMES:

"So I was at my aunt's house upstate. Like WAYYY upstate to the point where Verizon must SEARCH for service. Anyway... so she has the Wii Fit for my cuz's... and I get on it and get a little avatar and a little profile going...

Tell me how this stupid piece of garbage A) tells me my REAL age is 36, B) That I have no sense of balance and C) that I'm overweight. 

That stupid Wii Fit can go to hell. Along with the idiots who thought it would be good to incorporate EXERCISE with FUN. Because it SUCKS."

Wii Fit can stay on the shelf in Toys R Us where it belongs. Rock Band 2? So much cooler.

Happy Memorial Day :)
