Wishful Thinking

You know, there's just something about spending £49 on a tiny bikini that makes a girl want to lose a few pounds. Especially when she's actually planning on wearing the thing in public in a month's time.

However, with no specific diet planned, a stash of dark chocolate in the fridge, and a strong aversion to sit ups, actual weight loss would appear somewhat unlikely.

In a fit of madness I recently bought Paul McKenna's book I Can Make You Thin. It has great reviews, although so far I have been too lazy to read it, or even listen to the accompanying CD. Perhaps if I sleep with it under the pillow it will help.

In the meantime, do let me know if washboard-flat stomachs go out of fashion.
