Mirror Mirror on the Wall...Who's the Fairest of Them All?

Candice and I accompanied my mom today to Marie France. Just out of curiosity, we got ourselves a free body assessment and free trial treatments. So what is the verdict? I’m within my ideal body weight (yehey!) BUT (yeah there’s always the big BUT) I’m 21% over my fat percentage and some “problem areas” would have to be addressed as well…which means I would need to undergo the fat metabolic program whatever that means. Grabe, after having a talk with the head consultant, I think I’ve never felt fatter in my whole life. I must say their marketing tactics are working well. Hehe

All the treatments were relaxing. I didn’t know these kinds of machines and procedures even existed at all. I enjoyed the cold body wrap. You get wrapped up like a mummy in this very cold solution which is supposed to lower your body’s normal temperature, so that the excess fat will be used up to maintain the body’s heat. According to the therapist, this can shave off around 2000 calories which is equivalent to 2 weeks worth of exercise. Could you imagine that?! No need to work your ass off at the gym anymore. You just lie in a bed for 25 minutes and voila! There’s also this other treatment that I liked. They attach these circular patches to the different parts of your body and you’ll feel waves of electric pulses/shock in varying intensities. This one is supposed to tone your body. Twenty minutes of doing this is equivalent to at least 200 sit-ups.

I had fun doing all of the treatments. It was an interesting experience. It just made me realize the extent that some people are willing to go through for the sake of vanity. Not only do you need lots (and lots) of time and effort, you also need a fat bank account. Hehe You wouldn’t believe how much the program that they designed for me costs. I don't think so! Hehe And even if you can afford it—time, effort, and money, I don’t think people can be satisfied long enough. Perfection can never be achieved…not in this world anyway.
