Wait, I wasn't super skinny, it's not my aim to look super bony also because Chean hates it, but I did achieve my goal! That makes me feel super proud of my determination...

#1 If you've ever tried on a traditional gown, you'd notice that the material (the stiff and solid gold and silver threads) tends to instantly add a few pounds to your body as soon as you put it on. I'm glad that I still look okay, luckily.

#2 Love the corset design so much, a little vintage, a little classy, and a little sexy.

#3 The corset design helps accentuate my 23-inch waist. No exaggeration, I measured and re-measured and re-re-measured it, again and again and again while holding my jaw; it's like an extra bonus for my hard work!

#4 My Ji Muis were equally surprised too! Love them~~

#5 Random pic taken by Eling. With my cousin sisters, Elaine & Yvonne.

#6 The dinner dress makes me even taller and slimmer... How can I not fall in love with it (and myself, hehe)?
It only takes me two weeks to drop the 3 inches, you ready to find out how?
But wait, this truly is a hardcore diet from hell and I must say, it's not a healthy practice in long run. If you have tried many, many different approaches yet you still can't shake off the extra pounds and in desperate need to look fab in special occasion, maybe you can adopt the strategies below. But!!! Diet at your own risk, ok!
Secret Weapon #1 Lipodrene Appetite Suppressant
This is super effective! It increases your metabolism, reduced cravings, gives you energy while suppressing your appetite. Drink a lot of water and avoid caffeine. Read the direction carefully and understand its side effects. It works for me, but maybe not for everyone. I did experience queasiness and felt a little hyper during the 1st & 2nd day, so I reduced the dosage to 2 tablets a day--one in the morning, one after lunch. Lipodrene is not available in M'sia I guess, so try ebay or google. Read H.E.R.E for more details.
Secret Weapon #2 NH Detoxlim Natural Clenx Tea
Gentle formula. It doesn't upset my stomach yet it does exactly what it's supposed to do. It doesn't make me rush to the restroom frequently, it just regulate the bowel movement. Guess what, it helps losing the water weight too, good way to get rid of the excess water retention.
Secret Weapon #3 Orang Kampung Teh Herba
Just providing you with another alternative that my sis and I love. As great as NH Detoxlim because it's made of natural and traditional herbs as well. My sis & I have been taking it on and off for 3 months. Alhamdulillah, it works effectively~~
Secret Weapon #4 One Meal a Day
Although we are spoiled with many options that promise great slimming results, we can't solely rely on diet pills and cleansing tea. The harder you work, the slimmer you get. So, one of my all-time strategies is to take only one meal a day, but don't have it all at once, split the meal into three portions instead. Say, you are craving for chicken rice now, go for it, there's no wrong to indulge, but split it into 3 equal portions, enjoy the 1st portion then take another two separately. I usually do it this way: first portion for breakfast or lunch, 2nd for lunch or tea time, 3rd for dinner. I know you would say, what if I get hungry at night? Get healthy and light snacks like cracker or cereal, then follow by a full glass of cleansing tea. Burp. Now you sure can hug your belly in bed and sleep soundly.
Secret Weapon #5 Fruits in The Morning
Feed yourself with your favorite fruits and a glass of warm water before breakfast. An apple or an orange or a handful of grapes or strawberries. Any fruits you like. No one wants to sacrifice youthful and supple body for sagging skin. If that's what I'd get, I rather quit.
Secret Weapon #6 Tight Clothes Are Your Best Trainer
Wear real tight clothes while you are at home, except when you are sleeping. It gives you a clear perspective of your body shape and it also cruelly magnifies your extra fats and pounds. It then helps motivate me to work even harder cause when I wear my super tight clothes at home, my bro will say mean things to me like, ewww, is that your fat tummy? Or my sis will shower me with her extremely sincere and honest opinions like, Jie, you really gain weight. I'm sure you won't dare to pig out in front of them after hearing those words. Remember to weigh and measure yourself every day too! Well, you know, tight clothes may shrink or get loose as time progresses, hehe...
Secret Weapon #7 Get Rid of Rice or Noodle
I know, rice and noodle are an Asian thing, we can't survive without them. But hey, they are super high in carbohydrates! So, you can either include rice or noodle in your daily diet. I choose the latter. And by saying that, I ate rice for less than 5 times for about 3 months. Exception happened when I was traveling or enjoying Bah Ku Teh. If you are not a big fans of rice like me, I don't see the point to consume it. Honestly.
Secret Weapon #8 Exercise, Exercise, Exercise
I hate it! But my brother and sister enjoy it and I notice obvious results too. Anyway, I jogged every day during the last week of my wedding preparation, not sure if that really works in such a short period of time, I simply did it to make myself feel less guilty. End of story. Period.
Hope you find this helpful. And again, the methods stated above may not work for you. Some tips may seem utterly ridiculous, some you may find a little too intensive, but that's what I did to drop the extra pounds and inches for my wedding and just for my wedding. I'm eating normal and have been pigging out a lot ever since then. One last advice, those secret weapons only promise short-term result, if you are shooting for a long-term healthy diet, maybe we could discuss that in the near future.
Have a wonderful day ahead!!!
Happy dieting,
Bev

These are some insightful tips, Bev! =) Getting rid of body fats is not an easy task. You need to be focused to execute your plans properly. As for me, I take herbal supplements and enjoy their rewards. For one, it significantly relieves the signs of aging.
