My Story

Last week I was in a shop trying on a shirt and I asked a lady who was also inrepparttar 105373 changing rooms how it looked on me. (I don't bother askingrepparttar 105374 sales assistant as they usually tell you it looks great regardless of whether it does or not). She thought it looked great and I must confess, I thought so too! Still, being a woman I like to have someone else to confirm it.

Now here's what I found both flattering and interesting. The lady said "The shirt looks great, I wish I hadrepparttar 105375 same body". She was referring to my body! That got me excited! That'srepparttar 105376 first time someone had said that to me. Mind you this woman was about 15 kg overweight and would probably think that about anyone who was smaller than her.

I replied "Thank you! (and then blurted out in a nice way) However, you could too, just exercise regularly and eat healthily". I forgot to mention she had an open packet of potato chips in her bag. This lady probably thought I was born this way, one ofrepparttar 105377 lucky ones who could eat and drink anything they wanted and walked occasionally for exercise.

It takes effort What this lady didn't know was that every morning I drag myself out of bed at 5.30 a.m. to work out atrepparttar 105378 local gym. And I do that regardless of how cold or wet it is, how tired I am, whether it's summer or winter. I payrepparttar 105379 price to getrepparttar 105380 results. I'm also particular about food, trying wherever possible to eat low fat, low sugar food and drink plenty of water.

If there's an easier alternative, a magic pill which will miraculously keeprepparttar 105381 weight off, body toned and make me feel great consistently without harming my health, please let me know. Until then, I'll keep payingrepparttar 105382 price and makingrepparttar 105383 effort becauserepparttar 105384 results are worth it.
