Pretty Girl
Suddenly Slimmer
A friend of mine arrived in town recently to attend an award show. For the past few weeks she had been watching everything she ate but she still didn’t feel comfortable in her dress. “I need to detox… fast!” she cried, when I rang her to arrange a lunch date. Living in Los Angeles I hear about a wide variety of wonder diets and miracle solutions. I had heard of one treatment which I felt might suit her as it claims to help you lose inches off your body in only an hour. The place is called Suddenly Slimmer and the moment I told her about it, she was dying to try it out.
We went to the Westwood location on a sunny weekday afternoon. The premises is small in size and discreet looking from the outside. Although an advantage to clients wishing to sneak in, it may take you a few moments to actually find it! On arrival, my friend filled out a questionnaire and we then followed our therapist into a small room. Here, her measurements were taken and written down so that they could be compared to her final loss. This treatment can be taken up to three times a week and works well with a diet. Ellen DeGeneres featured Suddenly Slimmer on her show earlier in the year and actually had the Slim Wrap Mineral Treatment in her run up to hosting the Oscars!
Of course, we had believed that this was a no work way of losing inches. Wrong!! We soon learned my friend would be wrapped like a mummy from head to toe. For me, this was funny, for her, quite uncomfortable. Then, just when we thought the worst was over, she was led to the outside room where she was told to chose an exercise machine for the next hour. Neither of us saw that coming! I decided to leave for a coffee (as I was laughing too much) and left her watching TV on a tread-mill. Apparently, the idea is that you must keep moving once the wraps are on. I suppose no pain no gain!
I returned an hour later to find my friend looking relaxed and happy, drinking a glass of water. It turns out she lost seven inches all over, which is quite a lot. Not only did she feel much slimmer but her skin felt much tighter after the treatment. The following night she slipped into her dress with ease and her only regret is that she isn’t in Los Angeles to get more treatments on a regular basis!
