I believe the fashion trends make a full circle. Meaning every year the styles from 5-10 years make a return. With this thought in mind as the fashions change, I pack away my current outfits in a cedar trunk and go on a shopping spree for the latest in fashion clothes. Recently I dug into my trusty cedar trunk to retrieve a few outfits that I had tucked away a few years back. Perfect! They were right in style. Only one problem, they were about three sizes too small. Now I knew I had gained a few pounds but that many. Right then and there I knew it was time for me to take back that sexy figure from those many years ago. Obviously my weight gain had got out of hand. I had to design a plan of the fat attack. So here is what I did
When I pulled out some of my clothes from yesteryear they were not made with provisions for the extra pounds I was bound to put on. In short, they did not fit. It is not like the clothes had grown small, I had grown large – in places. I had gained some extra pounds and in places I was beginning to realize I had places. How much weight gain I had achieved was what surprised me. This is when I stopped in my tracks and decided that I was going to get into shape and take this fat attack head on. I was going to regain my sexy figure and I was going to get down to it now! I sat down with pen and pencil and began to chalk out a plan to ward off this fat attack. Now this is what I decided to do
Second step: Instead of my four cups of coffee a day, it was now four glasses of water and one cup of coffee. This one was a bit hard to do, as I am a coffee addict. Therefore, I would make myself drink one glass of water before I would have a coffee. I soon found that I did not have room for the coffee so I forgot about it. I discovered an amazing thing. I was not near as bloated as I had been in the past. Maybe that is why I was beginning to look a little slimmer. I think some weight loss was starting to become a reality.
Second step: The next best thing I did for myself was to reduce the total quantity I was consuming to one fourth. This was easier said than done because I am an avid coffee drinker, an addict really. But there was a way to counter the coffee pangs – water. I started drinking one full glass of water before a cup of coffee. Before long I was down to just one cup a day and the bloating feeling had gone too. I started to look slimmer, feel better and the compliments started flowing in. Weight loss for me was becoming a reality.
Well I didn’t lose weight in time to fit into those clothes I had taken out being as the fashions change every year. In addition, I did not put all those extra pounds on overnight and I sure knew I was not going to take them off in just a few days. It was evident though my attack of the fat plan had been quite successful. I looked great and I felt wonderful.
One other thing I know for sure as well is the next time I dig into that old chest all those little gems are going to fit this sexy body once again.
