Dear Friend…

This is a letter from your ol’ pal, belly fat. We had a great run this summer, didn’t we? Lots of good times, great food, and plain ol’ sitting around eating too much.

So, i write this letter to tell you that, if you don’t mind, i want to stay with you as much as possible. But i think that there’s no more space enough for both of us in this body anymore, so, it’s time to make some.

Yes, we also have our issues. Like the time you were thinking of doing that interval training. That was mean! I felt like the Wicked Witch of the West in the land of Oz. Did you hear me yelling, “Help me, I’m melting!”? But its fine now, that’s in the past.

Instead, stick to that slow cardio stuff. Sure I get a little sweaty, and the ol’ brain up there thinks it’s doing “a real fat burning workout”, but it’s never enough to melt me outta here.

It was a great thing when somebody told you that strength training doesn’t burn body fat. You’ve gained some extra fat pounds because of that. Just stay the same, please!

After each one of those superset workouts you tried last January it felt like someone lit a match under our collective butt. I was burning up down here! But boy oh boy, I sure was glad you gave that up and went back to just lifting utensils and not dumbells. Otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to celebrate another summer together this year.

I can’t understand how is that you could live your life without me. That time in high school or college, when your skinny body. And all that hard, big muscles…why do you still have that photographs? I think that it’s just to remember you the way you looked, and that you can never allow to look the same way never again.

Well, it sure was good catching up with you. I’m sure we’ll be in touch more often, as long as you stay away from that Turbulence Training workout routine. Brings a tear to my eye whenever I even think about that workout program and all the belly fat it’s burned. Heck, it’s fried more belly fat than a frying pan! And again, if you want to keep your dear old belly around for another year and another summer, don’t use Turbulence Training - otherwise, its all over pal, and you’ll never see me again. Belly Fat says, “Don’t use this”.

Sincerely yours, Belly Fat.

PS. Seriously, don’t go near that Turbulence Training program unless you want to see me, Thunder Thighs, Manboobs, Jigg Lee Arm Fat, and Luv Handles pack our bags and hit the highway.
