Why not make a deal with yourself? If you must watch tv, don’t just sit there. Do sit-ups, leg lifts, and other exercises while you watch. Or chop veggies to have on hand as a healthy snack.

Apparently watching those starlets makes us want to be unrealistically thin, even as it makes us fat! How about a good book instead?
