While watching television at the end of a long day do you find yourself have sudden urges? I was watching television the other day, when suddenly I had the urge to get something to eat. The strange part was that I had just eaten. There was a commercial on that was showing chocolate candy. I can’t explain it but I felt like I wanted some chocolate right that moment. I didn’t have any chocolate at my disposal but I did have some other tasty treats. So what did I do?

I went quickly to the cupboard and grabbed something. It was not until later that I realized what I had done. By the promptings of some commercial I felt the desire to eat something. Have you done this before? Commercials are created to make us want to buy something and in this case I did not buy anything but I had the craving to eat what they were showing. I could see how this type of marketing could work. Be careful what you see on T.V. you may just need to have it and that could lead to a few extra pounds that you didn’t want. Replace that urge with a few minutes of exercise. Do a few quick jumping jacks instead. Maybe this will cure the urge!
