I know if my friends were to read this, they probably gag because they keep telling me “you are not fat”… but i keep telling them.. “yeap.. but i need to tone my body and I’m lazy to do any form of exercise and I don’t like seeing myself naked”…heheh..
Anyway..I digress…
I was merrily reading my newspaper one day, a long time ago, a cup of coffee in hand, and I saw this ad…
“Try our slimming package for $10 only – free consultation and advice”
Hmm.. $10.00? I could spare that amount. I called them up and made an appointment to see them. I shall spare you the details of the interview, the part where the consultant asked me to undress, told me to stand in front of the mirror and tell me what needs to go.. what needs to be toned, how much I need to lose… etc etc…. Embarassing moment, I tell you 🙁
Anyway, after much pestering to get me to sign up for their package and after relentless “no, not yet” from me, to give credit to the slimming center, they did materialize their offer and before I knew it, I was in towels and disposable undies and all prepped up for the herbal scrub and sauna that was to follow. Sounds yummy??.. It was….heavenly 🙂
About fifteen minutes passed, the therapist, or so they call themselves, came in and asked me to shower one more time and get ready for the next treatment. This time, she used these electric nodes thingy that is placed on areas that I wanted toned. But not before she took measurements of all the areas first that is, I guess as proof of any reduction…hehehe…
After I got all hooked up, I was asked to lie down on this table, all covered up and made cozy and told to relax while tiny electric pulses ran through me. She told me that if for some reason, I became nauseous to press this button that she placed next to me.
Forty minutes came and went off and a timer buzzed and Irene, the therapist, came back in with what looked like plastic wrap. Hmm… After removing all the nodes, she asked me to get up and started massaging me with this cold cream. Next, she asked me to put my hands out and up and to my horror, started wrapping me with the plastic wrap and placed me into a heated blanket.. Now I know how that chicken feel just before it gets baked…lolzz.. To make story ultra short, I lost 3 inches of my waist, 1.5 inches off each of my thighs and 0.5 inches off each of my boobs arms.
On the whole, I had a great experience at the slimming center and I recommend it to anyone who wants to give it a try. However, be strong, this people are trained to brainwash you into signing up for their package. Don’t bring excess cash or credit card when visiting them.
