Do you suck?

Let me rephrase that. Do you suck your belly in?

I’m talking about when you try on something nice, that s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s and fits quite nicely and tightly. Which means you have to suck your belly in before you look in the mirror. I got a great cornflower blue Tshirt today, with a V-neck that shows off the cleavage. It’s made of 92% cotton and 8% elastane, the stretchy bit. It looks GREAT. But only when I suck it all in. With the *intention* of losing those last 5 pounds.

Do women walk around holding their muscles in (or their breath?) when they are wearing a tight Tshirt? Or am I just fat? Or just not toned enough?

I think I might need to get down to that gym and exercise – not pose!

Cook me thin

I caught a fabulous cookery programme on Channel Four called Cook Yourself Thin. How did I ever miss this? I’ve been a workaholic for way too long! The presenters are young, fun and funky. Much better than stuffy Nigella and Nick.

I was amazed to see them come up with a Sunday roast that had 933 fewer calories than one made by a famous chef.

GAL verdict :

New Year, New Me?

If THIS isn’t enough to put you off pigging out and make you join a gym, I don’t know what will.

And no, this isn’t me. Thanks be to God.
