Video: Lose Weight by Wearing a Shiny Bag

Feb 23rd, 2009

 

A theme developed in my posts today about weight loss and gain. I'm trying to drop some pounds myself for my wedding in four months, only I hate doing that pesky exercise. What's a girl to do? Then I discovered the Slim Suit. 

Anyone know where to get one of these? A search on eBay only turned up Spanx. I'm dreaming of obtaining the Stepfordesque state of tranquility of the Slim suit wearer shown at the 35 second mark of the commercial: 

"And now my dress fits perfectly."

A couple plastic garbage bags work just as well and are a lot cheaper.

While Litmus may be right, I'd keep looking for the slim suit. I used to wear one, and trust me, you need the durability of that in contrast to a garbage bag.

My son bought something similar in the sports section at Walmart...but we live in Canada. I'm not sure if your stores carry all of the same merchandise.

I'm pretty sure Rose on the Golden Girls did research on these things for a news show she worked for. Weight-loss-less hilarity ensued.

maybeapril, I meant to mention that! That episode was just on the other night! Hers involved a hairdryer, though. Too much work!
