received a call from a slimming centre that has been advertising quite a bit recently in the newspapers. They informed me of a $3++ promotion that they are having and encouraged me to go for a free trial session. Well this is not the first time I've been to one of those free trial sessions but my curiosity got the better of my judgement and off I went today, stealing some time during the lunch hour to go for "Free Trial".
It was not too far from where I worked so time was not a big issue. So, I did the routine stuff of talking to them and finding out more about their promotion but it turned out that the promotion was just a basic package which may not work well on its own. So, they did the additional services talk and explained that results could be better seen if all these 'riders' are taken up. Normally it was pretty easy to brush their appeal to sign up for more programmes but I was defeated today! It was as if I was in a spell and my hand slipped inside my wallet to pull out a credit card. Besides, they made the offer soooooooooo irresistible! It sound so easy you know by breaking it down to mere few hundreds a month for interest free instalment. How could one not succumb? I did but it was soon followed by tinge of regret. I just spent $XXXX on myself?! Is that justified?!!:embarrassed:
