Bienvenue!
I want to be French Skinny in 6 months.
There I’ve said it.
A friend of mine moved to France a year ago and dropped twelve dress sizes. She has been posting pictures of all the amazing food she eats. I’m talking chocolate croissants, pizza and French food I’ve never heard of. I'm eating protein shakes twice a day plus a sensible meal and just did a half marathon six weeks ago. We are the same height, my size ten jeans are getting tight and she's a size four. She has given up going to the gym and has seconds if she wants. I ask her about portion control and she laughs at me. What is this madness? I want that madness. I imagine myself in Provence wearing a French sun dress NOT having to be trussed up in my Spanx unitard! Seriously.
Okay, so here's my deal. I’ve been married for twelve years, have a three year old and live in Burbank, CA, USA. I’m not able to walk to the Louvre everyday but there’s always IKEA. Over the next six months I will try to incorporate what she eats, drinks and does into my life to achieve French Skinny in Burbank.
This should be fun.
Apprécier !
I think I know that skinny girl you're talking about! What gives? She looks like the Kate Moss version of herself. I'm jealous! I have to tell you that one time I went to Paris for two weeks, and ate nothing but pain au chocolat and plats au fromage, and I SWEAR I lost weight. It must be the walking. Or the water. The wine? Je ne sais pas...
ReplyDeleteI am working day and night to find the super secret....secret. She is emailing me her every move, everyday for a week before we officially start. Will get to the bottom of this!!!
ReplyDeleteOh French Skinny...
ReplyDeleteI am feeling so Mommy Mushy. I will look forward to reading of your success and then buying the pill version of this once you get it on the market.
Merci.
this blog is hilarious! just read/skimmed through your archives - so funny! I live in Germany now and dropped a lot of weight when we moved here too - so much walking and bike riding (parking is nearly nonexistent in our town). Also, the food here has maybe half the amount of sugar that American versions of the same things would have. Thought it was awesome that you walked to Target...awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you Juliette. All that walking must be a giant clue. So glad you are here to join the ride.
ReplyDeleteSaw your comment on Bern This and had to investigate. Love the thought of chocolate, croisants, etc., and losing weight. I can't wait to start reading your blog and following you. Fingers crossed.
