A few tips,a few laughs

Weight Loss After Pregnancy If you've just had a baby, here's how to regain your figure. • Wait at least 4 weeks until your body has fully recovered. Eat as healthily as you can. • Meantime, learn about nutrition and devise a gradual exercise plan. • Then follow a low-fat HEALTHY diet - about 1500 daily calories. • If you're breast-feeding don't eat less than 1800 daily calories. • Be patient, let nature take it's course and you'll regain your previous figure in no more than 5-6 months. A little longer if you're breast-feeding. Then you can find out who the father is. Whoops! Just kidding. (Honest) ====================================================================== You Need Incentives to Lose Weight!! Because dieting can be a pain in the butt, we women need as many incentives as possible. e.g. fur coat, diamond necklace... If you can persuade Mr. Man to cough up the odd diamond all well and good. If not, you need to generate a few incentives by yourself. A good start is to measure yourself all over. Measure your bust, waist, hips, thighs and upper arms. Make a note of these super-secret statistics, lock them in your safe, then have a stiff drink. (You'll probably need one) Then, each fortnight or month, re-measure yourself. Each ½ inch lost will do wonders for your motivation. ====================================================================== Fat Thighs, Fat Butt Fact 80% of women aged 25-50, think their thighs and butt are too big Fiction You can reduce the fat on your thighs by eating certain foods More fiction You can reduce the fat on your thighs by doing certain exercises Even more fiction There's a quick way of reducing fat on your thighs or butt.

Our husbands make us feel guilty Our kids make us feel guilty Our moms make us feel guilty Our mothers-in-law make us feel guilty Just about everyone makes us feel guilty about SOMETHING. No wonder we reach for the cookies. No wonder we forget about ourselves. No wonder we get fat. Take a new approach Say No to guilt. Say Yes to losing weight. How? By pretending you're not perfect. Because the ONLY thing that makes us feel guilty is the idea that we must be perfect. Think about it.
