Nutrisystems Sucks

I needed to lose weight. Those infomercials sucked me in. I went on line to sign up, after all -- look at all the celebrities who had success. Well they must have been receiving different food then I did. When I was going back and forth with the live chat on line -- I should have known something was amiss, not kosher, just wrong. On line I think the person I was chatting with had never eaten nutrisystems -- and probably never will. The language & their sentence structure was not normal. I am pretty sure they were located in India.

Anyway they assured me --
IF I PURCHASE NOW AND AM NOT SATISFIED I CAN CANCEL AND NOT GET CHARGED ANY ADDITIONAL FEE FOR EARLY CANCELLATION.

SUCKER!

They charged me an extra $50 on top of the agreed price for the food. Once they have your card number you are screwed. I still have this huge box of crap food in the pantry and every now and then when I don't want to make something and I feel guilty about the expense -- I open one of the packets and force myself to eat it. It does make it easier to swallow if you wash it down with 2 glasses of wine.
