Looks aren’t everything, but that’s not everything that’s wrong. I have to change my shirt when I get home from the bar. I’ve sweat through the one I was wearing. It’s not a heat-wave or that I exerted myself at all, it’s just what happens to me now. I can’t remember when it started happening, but I adjusted. I have an extra shirt in the car and another in the office, just in case. 

I try to avoid looking in the mirror too long. It doesn’t feel healthy to obsess over how unhealthy I’ve become. It didn’t happen suddenly, but now that I’m really paying attention, I can see the difference. My face is a lot rounder. My stomach hangs over my belt, which has become painfully uncomfortable to wear when the buckle jabs me. It’s not a good look. 

By the time I get changed and sit at my computer, I need a minute to catch my breath. The more I think about the life I’m living now, the more I think it’s time for a change. I just want to know what’s involved in getting there. 

Everything I can find online about Zero-G-Fit feels like an ad. An overwhelming amount of positive reviews. There’s the truth out there though. You can’t hide anything from the internet. I just have to dig a little deeper. Having the money that Zero-G-Fit likely does, being backed by Delcor Labs, definitely helps. They can blanket all the popular sites with high scoring, “verified” reviews. 

Written reviews are only part of it. The photos and videos do a lot more to convince me. The pictures don’t look altered. I would know, having tinkered with it myself for dating profiles and never really making it look quite right. These are the real deal. 

I try to stay skeptical. I see people who used to be just like me. Now they’re living in mansions, hanging out by the beach being ogled by passersby. That’s just what they’re willing to show. They all seem to make the point that they don’t need to be doing these testimonials. They’re all doing so well since this happened that they just want to share the wealth. Lots of them even offer to share an invite with you. 

It’s all very one-sided, but hard to argue with the results. I still can’t get comfortable with seeing only one side. It seems too good to be true. I look for a couple of hours looking at forums, review sites, social media - anything for a negative word towards them. 

I eventually find one site that offers the other side. It looks like it’s been put together by someone who hasn’t used a computer before this. It’s difficult to read with the purple writing on the pink background. 

The whole site is one page. A block of text that amounts to a rant:

Whatever you think about Zero Fat - it’s all LIES! These evangelists are slaves to the Delcor corporation. Don’t trust them. They are parasites. BE WARNED!

It goes on like that. It’s not something I’d give the time of day normally, but it seems to be the only viewpoint coming from the other side. There is no middle. Either people are falling over themselves, speaking to the benefits, or there’s this. 

I’ll have to find out for myself.
