Don’t Talk Politics!

I’m not usually one to talk religion or politics. Especially on social media. It can be considered “taboo.”

Easter is coming and it is the season of lent, so it’s on my mind. So be it. I won’t discuss my views but I have a cute story I want to share.

When I was in my early twenties, I was dating a guy who was religious. He was an Irish catholic which made celebrating St. Patrick’s Day fun.

I’m pretty sure I still have the sweatshirt I bought when we wore matching sweatshirts to the St. Patty’s Day parade one year.

Cute right?

The silly things we do when we’re young and in love.

We also went to church together every Sunday and always gave up something for lent. My favorite thing to give up was fried food. At the time, I was working as a waitress at the Anchor Bar, the home of the original chicken wing. Hot Buffalo style chicken wings were my weakness so this was not an easy task.

At the end of six weeks of giving up all fried food, including chicken wings, potato chips and french fries (my other weakness) I always lost at least 5 pounds. If not 10.

Perfect since summer and bikini season was quickly approaching.

This morning I realized that I’ve been using similar methods to lose weight fast for over 30 years! Even in my teens.

I’m dating myself now. Whatever.

These are the same methods I share with you in my book “Zipping it Up: How to lose 5 pounds fast and look great in that little black dress!”

You will learn:

*Old school weight loss methods that actually work
*An easy to follow guide to healthy eating
*How to squeeze in exercise and burn extra calories

And most importantly!

How to KEEP the weight off.

Or quickly lose it again if those pounds start to creep back up again…

Like they always seem to do.
