How a Spanx Body Shaper Helped Me to Lose 5 Pounds
Unlike a lot of women, I had never worn a Spanx body shaper until recently. Spanx are like our mother’s girdles, at least that’s what I said to the older saleswoman at the store where I bought mine. In response, she looked me and said, “Honey, this ain’t nothing like those old girdles, believe me.” Anyway, I bought one to wear to a get-together of old high school friends because I noticed that I had some back fat that was spilling over the top of my pants which gave me a lumpy, dumpy, middle-aged look.
When I first opened up the Spanx body shaper and tried to put it on, I thought it would be much too small. It was like dealing with super tight pantyhose and when I got one leg in the bottom hole it was hard to stretch the garment to get my other leg in. I was afraid that it might tear, but it didn’t. You put it on just like pantyhose: rolling it up and then unrolling it to put it on. At least that’s how I did it.
I bought the full Spanx bodyshaper. It’s like a leotard with little shorts that slim the thighs, stomach, and butt. It also makes back fat disappear. Boy, did it work some magic. After I put my clothes back and did a front, side and back view check, I was very pleased with what I saw. It looked like I had instantly lost 10 pounds.
In fact I was so pleased with the effects of my Spanx body shaper that I felt lighter and happier as though I had already lost the weight. Instantly, I felt slimmer, trimmer and more youthful. I noticed a bounce to my step that hadn’t been there before. Best of all, I felt motivated to eat less, make healthier choices and move more. My theory is that feeling better is a prime motivator for change due to the desire to keep experiencing that happy state. The great thing is: this desire to make better choices was not bumping against the brick wall of my stubborn resistance to change. In fact, there was a sense of openness and receptivity.
Every day without fail, I have been donning my slimming garment every day and in one week’s time, I’ve lost 5 pounds! No kidding.
