After hearing all these commercials(usually for a fitness or
cosmetic product) about a “New you for the new year,” I
have to say I’m a bit annoyed.

What’s so wrong with the you you are now that you have to
totally scrap it?

Personally, I like me. Yeah I could use some tweaking.
(Couldn’t we all?) Between the food and long hours(for
those of us in retail) I certain plan to work toward getting
back in shape.

I understand that it’s a powerful selling tool to convince
people one product can change your whole life.

What irks me is the idea that the life you already have
doesn’t have any value. I don’t want a new me, I just
want to be a little bit better.
