I’ve been having a great vacation. Lots of relaxing. Hanging out. Laughing. All that sort of thing.
But for some reason, I’ve been feeling a little, well, blah. Not a lot. Just a bit.
I wondered why … then I realized that I was spending a lot of time on the beach watching people walk around in bikinis while I was wearing a bathing suit that was handed down to me by a friend who’d lost weight and gave me all her “fat” clothes.
Now, let’s be clear: I’m a realistic person. A practical sort. So, logically, I understand that once a stomach has been stretched out like, say, for example this:
It just makes sense that it will never again look like, oh, say this:
But it didn’t change the fact that I was feeling a tad blah, nonetheless. I decided that a change was in order.
So what did I do?
Well, I lost 10 pounds! Yes, I lost 10 pounds on vacation … pretty amazing, eh? And how did I manage this … by chugging liquid meals? Signing up for a Cape Cod boot camp?
No, no. I simply went shopping! Have you heard of the “MiracleSuit”? The slogan for this bathing suit is “Look 10 lbs lighter in 10 seconds.” And you know what? It’s true. I really did lose 10 lbs just by putting on one of their suits. (Yes, of course, I bought two!)
After my shopping trip, I returned to the pool where my family was hanging out waiting for me. I had a bounce in my step and a smile on my face. And did they notice the new swimsuit? Comment on how flattering it was … how great I looked?
Yeah, as if.
But they did notice that Mama had gotten her groove back. (Thanks Miraclesuit, I owe ya one!)
