By Christie Brightenston

Many people would like to go to bed tonight and wake up 20 pounds lighter by tomorrow morning. How about drinking a miracle juice today and by tomorrow at this time, voila! You are 20 pounds lighter! These fantasies boil down to doing nothing for something and are not realistic. What people are looking for is something easy and quick without any sacrifice, kind of like exhaling weight loss. There's nothing like instant gratification!

 

 

This book is about a woman who progressively lost a healthy one pound per week as she lived her life and did certain things. Within two months, she lost up to 10 pounds. She goes into details on how it happened. If you do the same things that she did, you may find yourself losing pounds over and over again until it adds up to where you want it to be.

 

 

This is "realistic" weight loss and the way it happened to her means the weight will stay off when you continue to do what she did. What is the use of quickly losing weight that you are going to gain back within the same time span you lost it? Make it stick by doing the same things that she did in this book.

 

 

She talks about how things changed regarding her eating habits, including an easy, simple exercise that anyone can do right at home and is highly effective for achieving weight loss results.

 

 

It is an easy read and she spares no details so that anyone can try it themselves.

Christie Brightenston writes as a hobby for fun. She is typically interested in new subject matters that she’s not as familiar with to gain deeper insight on topics that fascinate her. Curiosity is the driving factor for what she decides as her next project. Although she is not a social media fan, she does prefer talking on the phone and hearing the sound of a person’s voice for that deeper emotional connection. She would love to know your take on this very amusing book.

Obviously, being broke is not a great way to live. But if you are in that situation or headed in that direction due to circumstances, you might as well make the most of it until things improve in your life at some point, hopefully.

I did try to bring a little humor to a serious situation. Enjoy!
