As someone who works in the beauty industry, I think that people have an expectation about my appearance. Luckily I have always been on the slim side of average, and I am also one of those people who starts to shrink at the first sign of stress, anxiety, and particularly heartbreak. The past few years have thrown enough of all of those at me to ensure that I have not had to worry about my waistline for quite some time. But now that I am in a happier place, so are the extra inches, and it seems that they just do not want to leave the cosy recesses of my muffin top.

I have come to the conclusion that it seems to be an age factor that makes the body less compliant to the fail-safe old tricks for speedy slimming that never used to let me down. Even though the years may be marching on, I do not think that I am too old to have to hide my upper arms or wear baggy tops just yet, so I have decided that more serious measures are called for. Yep, I have decided to beat the January rush and sign up for the local gym (on a free trial basis of course).

A confession though, I also have been guiltily checking out the comprehensive new slimming products website Slimming.com, who seem to have got just about every weight loss angle covered for the lazy slimmer. I will be checking anything out very carefully before I buy, but if I do decide to cheat a little I will definitely report back!
