Every five or seven years fashion trends come full circle and what was in fashion say five years ago will be in fashion all over again. Given this hypothesis I have very successfully managed to recycle my outfits that I made for myself five years ago and had tucked them away in the safekeeping of my old trusted trunk for safekeeping until they were in vogue once again. In the mean time I take off to the market to get myself some good bargains on clothing that have come into style. What I failed to recon with is the fact that in the years that my outfits were stored away, I had gone in for some weight gain!! So you know what this means, don’t you?

First step: To begin with I sat down and took stock of all my eating habits. Before long I was aware that I was consuming too much unhealthy food than I was the healthy food stuff. Through the years I had inadvertently donned the title of queen of take away and a connoisseur of all kinds of processed foods. I just had to change this. I decided that starting immediately it was going to be only fresh vegetables, lean meats preferably fish and all topped by the healthiest deserts that would include only fresh fruit. Before long my clothes were not so clingy and tight. Had I succeeded in stopping the weight gain?

Second step: The regular four cups of coffee every day of my life was immediately replaced with four full glasses of cool water and a single drink of coffee. Being addicted to coffee this was a bit difficult to stick to so I decided to force myself to down a cool glass of water before drinking my cup of coffee. This filled up the extra room that the other three cups of coffee would normally have filled and so having no room for coffee this brought down my coffee consumption. Reducing my coffee intake made me realize that I no longer felt bloated all the time. Perhaps this is why I have put on a slimmer look. I believe that my weight loss dream has begun to change to 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.
