Bye bye, belly bulge!
This past weekend, I paid a visit to central New Jersey. I had an awesome time of eating, drinking, more eating, more drinking, and shopping. As I embarked on my trip home as the weekend came to an end, I came to a realization.
Fun is quite fattening!
Thank god I arrived at my front door and was greeted with a sample pair of Tummy Tuck Jeans!
As summer approaches, every girl I know is going into some degree of panic-mode to prep their bodies for warm weather. Alas, though, even the best of dieting intentions is often in vain when you are greeted by endless work events and happy hours. Thus, cheating is in order!
Tummy Tuck Jeans have come to the rescue. Created for women with curves, these jeans are designed to not only flatten the tummy and contour the hips, but they also lift the buttock, slim the body and allow women to wear a whole size smaller – without needing to step foot in the gym! They seriously work, too. I slipped on these jeans, and the fact that I had eaten pancakes, and tempura, and several martinis was *forgotten!*. (Well, not forgotten, who would want to? But certainly forgiven!)

And, I have two pairs to give away as well! The two readers who best answer with their own clothing/accessory body-slimming secret AND shares their worst tale of gluttony ever win! Deadline April 5th.

As I sit here dreaming of chewing (long story)I will relate a day of gluttony. My day started with a triple chocolate muffin and a hot chocolate with extra whip. Lunch came next, as an appetizer I went to a store that lets you design you own chocolate bar. Yum. Dinner was at a deli, where the portions are big enough to feed a football team.
Waffles, ice cream, chocolate syrup, whipped cream double yum. Needless to say my paints felt like they were painteded on.

oh dear…unfortunately my gluttony has lasted 3 months and is now entering its fourth. I received a kitchen aid mixer for Christmas and I love to bake. Ugh it’s getting rough. I always say I’m going to try this recipe and eat one or two cookies and give the rest away. Well before I know it I have eaten waaaayyy more than a couple. My jeans are definitely feeling the cookies!
My slimming trick is to use a built in accessory- smile lots and let my personality shine.
Nothing like self confidence it makes everything look better.

The week before my birthday I crash dieted so that I would fit into my Cthulhu Jeans ™, which are my skinny jeans. For a full five days I ate as little as possible and went to the gym every day. Come Friday night I discovered sexy-success when squeezing my booty into said trademarked jeans (I spent 6 hours embroidering them).
Within hours all that work was undone by how much I drank. Haha, of course, I managed to drink enough that I didn’t actually digest most of the calories I gobbled up.
Meanwhile, my slimming trick is having really, really, really big boobs and only wearing clothing that fits the body I have, rather than the body I would want to or wish that I had.

Hmmm, worst tale of gluttony would be when I was 15.
I bought my Dad a giant box of chocolates for his birthday, but a couple days early so I was prepared.
I ate the entire top layer, one by one, convincing myself I could replace them tomorrow.
When time came to give Dad his present, I took out all evidence there had been a 2nd layer, and he opened a giant half-filled box.
I think he noticed, but was too nice to say anything. =)

Slimming secret? I wear a lot of black (yay being goth!) and use one or two colours to highlight my best features. Sometimes it’ll be my chest, waist, eyes, hair(yes, i dye my hair odd colours) whatever is making me feel the most confident that particular day.
I’m known for my style of dressing that way, it’s become my signature ‘thing’.

Top Five Tales of Gluttony:
1.) My parents and I like Cracker Barrel chain restaurants (it’s a guilty pleasure). One time when driving from NJ to GA, we had Cracker Barrel for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
2.) At a media event, a friend and I once positioned ourselves coyly near the kitchen so we could snatch up as many foods-on-trays as possible, as they appeared. There were sliders, cocktails, scallops, and more. After, we had the gaul to then go out for dessert.
3.) I once had three desserts in one day. Dessert of breakfast, dessert of lunch, and dessert of dinner.
4.) Upon going out to dinner for my birthday at a French restaurant, I ate about a week’s worth of food in one sitting. By the end I could barely move.
5.) My mom makes a 3-layer cake for my birthday. I tend to eat that as my “meal” for about a week. (Best meal ever.)
My trick to looking more svelt than I actually am? To tame the belly, I put a long cami on and it somehow smooths things out in the waist ares. Then I top that witht he shirt I actually want to wear!
