Anti-WiiFit-Ite?
Like Francis from Stripes, I’ve put the Wii Fit on my list. We’ve been battling over the last few days, which lead to this following quote:
“Anti-WiiFit-Ite”
This was the comment left by our good friend Bethany on my last post. So the question is, am I a hater? Quite possibly. I do like to complain about things. And, I must admit the Wii Fit and I don’t exactly see eye to eye (scale?). Besides from the fact that the Wii Fit’s avatar is a really creepy flexible scale, I don’t think I am the target market for them and he annoys me with comments about my weight.
For example, I played after running and was down a few pounds just from being dehydrated. Wii Fit was very proud of me. When I played the next day and wasn’t dehydrated he basically called me a fatty and forced me to answer a question about why did I think I was so fat. I didn’t and I still don’t think so. There was no answer that I could select that said “I live in Texas and run a lot, and my weight will fluctuate within a 5-12 pound range almost daily”. Since this wasn’t an answer and I didn’t like the “I eat too much” and other responses, I went with “I don’t know”. Which meant, to me, “I don’t have a problem so kindly piss off.”
This did not endear me with the Wii Fit. He basically told me that perhaps I should consider monitoring how many calories I am stuffing into my fat face. And that you need to eat less move more. Which amazingly, not only was I already aware, but it has now moved from a Mad TV skit:
to a really freaking stupid an actual book. WTF? Do we really need to be told, eat less move more? Apparently we do.
I like doing the slalom game and a few of the other balance games, but I don’t think this is a vehicle for fitness for me. I don’t want to take anything away from anyone who will use it for fitness, as it sure beat the crap out pants off of sitting around just watching TV. But I wish there was an option for stop busting my balls bugging me about my weight.
Until next time Wii Fit.
