My New Best Friend!!
The past 10 years or so, I have been in Pursuit of the so elusive perfect figure. Now ladies, i think there are two categories for women: the first, ladies go back to their pre baby figures, the minute they give birth. the second, where we are saddled with the added baggage for the rest of our lives. Sadly, i belong to the latter group.
My mom briefly took up the role of " Mammy" to my Scarlett and tied all the sarees , corsets around my waist and tummy ... to give me back the 17" waist ( ok I'll settle for 24 or even 26"
) . But net effect Nada, zero, zilch ....... my baby belly refused to budge
There started my perennial Battle of the Bulge. Of course, after my second delivery , it turned into a War ( thats still going on!!).
Tried all the Abs exercises . Did hundreds and thousands of ab crunches, bought all the ab busters equipment that is advertised on " as seen on tv" , My video shelf has about 100 videos from belly dancing exercises to Boot camp . You name it I have it. But all to no avail.
Then recently , one day, at the store, I found something called the " Body Suit" . it promised to give the "perfect figure" I was looking for. So i succumbed and got one.
I got the chance to try it on the very next day, for a party i needed to go to...
Wow, baby belly where did it go????? I got those absolutely flat tummy, and looked great in my Black gown.
And a lot of compliments too..
Gosh, i thought , where was this thing hiding all these years. What was i doing all those hours, and money spent.....
So ladies, this Body suit is my new best friend. And to all the people who ask me what is the secret of my glorious physique. I nonchalantly tell them, that I work out 1 hour in the gym, do 500 ab crunches , 40 minutes weight training, and 20 minutes Belly dancing, 30 minutes boot camp and list goes on......

- Chitra,
Let me wave my moderator's magic wand on that "thread" So only select few will know!!
I got the idea for this blog when i was cleaning out my closet and found those " post pregnancy belts" that one wears to get you in shape.......Had a good laugh thinking about it.
But then anyway, will wake up and go back faithfully to my work out. We can dream in the meanwhile.Posted 7th December 2007 at 08:32 PM by Vandhana -
Hi Vandhana, enjoy the company of your best friend whom you had spotted right during the festive season here with so many parties to attend to!
sriniketanPosted 8th December 2007 at 01:54 PM by Sriniketan - That was a nice blog friend. Couldn't help laughing. By sheer coincidence, I came to know about the body suit shapewears two weeks back from a collegue, who has been suggesting tips to readuce tummy. I just wore it once and nobody noticed, so stopped wearing. Now, I should say that I am really motivated to try it out seriously...!Posted 10th December 2007 at 12:50 PM by gayathriar
- Hi Bhargavi,
Thanks for stepping in. I usually wear nice silk sarees to these parties so the body suit is moot in these instances!!Posted 11th December 2007 at 01:36 PM by Vandhana
