A few weeks ago, my roommate Emily and I were disappointed to find neither of us had enough food to make a satisfying dinner because our grocery-list-making skills still aren’t at the level we need them to be at. Thankfully, this reminded Emily of an article she read earlier this year that claimed the secret to becoming super skinny super fast is to just go to bed hungry.
As people who trust everything we read on the internet, we had full faith this was going to play a huge role in our transformation into Victoria’s Secret Angels. And we were right! Within days we started seeing so many positive results.
A cashier at Duane Reade told Emily she looks great without makeup, and said he hopes she shops there more often. The next morning, we were wearing pajamas (ok shorts and tshirts) while waiting for the bus to go grocery shopping. A man in a car at the stoplight was staring at us and kept smiling creepily and raising his eyebrows when I accidentally made eye contact with him. I had no idea we could look so great just an hour after rolling out of bed at 1 p.m on a Saturday! This never would’ve happened before we went to bed hungry one time.
Later the same night, my Uber driver told me I have the most beautiful face he’s ever seen, and he assumed I was a nurse at the hospital by my apartment because I just “look like an angel.” Some (@Frances Munro, specifically) may think that was just a ploy to get me to tip him, but I know it was actually because I look more fabulous than ever after my one night of hard work.
Unfortunately, none of the compliments we’ve received since starting this health and fitness kick have rivaled the proposal we received from a man on a bench along Central Park North, but we’re hoping to find more eligible suitors throughout our journey. I promise to keep you all updated the next time we start planning our marriage to a stranger we met on the street.
Thanks to the immense success of our new diet, Emily and I decided to also start a new workout plan. Every day, we walk up five flights of stairs to our apartment at least once. This may or may not be because we don’t have an elevator, but for now we’ll call it voluntary exercise. Sometimes we even carry grocery bags and/or packages up with us to mix it up. Crazy, I know, but we’re sure our legs are going to start looking fantastic any day now.
This three week fitness journey has been a wild ride for both of us, and due to our lack of time, motivation and money, we’re certain it won’t last long (read: it ended on day one). Still, we can’t wait to keep documenting the ego-boosting attention we receive every time we go out on the town looking like we haven’t slept in a week (we haven’t). Thank you all SO much for the support in this wild time in life!!!
TL;DR, my roommate and I are not actually models but we absolutely, 100% know everything there is to know about living a #fit life. Visit our sixth floor walk-up for your daily dose of fitspiration.
