SO WHICH WOMAN HAS THE PERFECT BODY?

OK ladies, prepare to be amazed.

We asked thousands of you to tell us what you think about your body – which bits you like, which bits you don’t, and what you’d change if you could.

Just to make things fair, we asked the men too. And when the results came in, shock waves rippled through Fabulous HQ.

It seems men and women have very different ideas about the perfect female figure.

While women yearn for the waspish waist of a size 8 model, men hanker after a curvy size 12 with hips. Oh yes!

And that’s not all. It seems all that time spent staring at the mirror making mental checklists of everything we’d change is a waste of time.

When we asked men what they would alter about their partner’s appearance, the majority said they were perfectly happy, thank you very much.

In fact, the only thing they’d wish for is that we’d all love our bodies as much as they do.

So, come on girls – what are you waiting for? Let’s hear it for love handles, muffin tops and big bottoms.

Let’s embrace our bodies and start loving what we’ve got.

And for an extra boost, read the rest of our body-inspiring results.

Making The Decision To Lose Weight

When it comes to losing weight, the hardest part of all is making an unbreakable promise to yourself to actually stop just thinking about it and actually get down to business and just plain do it.

Once you've made the decision there should be no turning back, no doubt in your mind that you will go the full course no matter what gets in your way. Solutions instead of problems, right?

Actually getting to that point though is a challenge for many people.

Most people, answering honestly, would like to lose *some* weight even if not a lot.

Very few people actually succeed though - even among those who seem to start off on the right foot.

They start a diet or go for a run but within days or weeks they are back to their old self.

How come?

The answer is that they weren't 100% behind their conviction.

It was a bit like playing the lottery. We'd all like to be rich but very few people are willing to put the time and effort in to achieving that goal so they'd rather spend a few dollars pointlessly on the lottery each week looking for the easy route out.

Unfortunately as unfashionable as it is to say - getting rich, like losing weight, isn't easy. Otherwise everyone would be think and rich.

But doiing things half-heatedly won't get you to the tipping point. Absolute focus and determination will.

So, the key is getting to the tipping point - the point where you honestly believe nothing will stop you. Where every traffic light is green.

And the only way to get to that place is from inside.

You need to work on yourself. Because attitute is 90% of the battle.

So take some time with a notepad and pen to write down why you think you're not totally focused on the goal. Realistically what has to change for you to reach that tipping point? Make an honest list. You don't have to show it to anyone, it's just for you, so list every point, every concern, every problem you can as honestly as possible.

Do you think you'll fail? Are you scared of going to the gym? Do you worry you'll miss your favorite foods too much? Do you think you're too busy to fit exercise into your daily routine?

Keep going for as long as it takes to get everything down, then it's time to work out ways to smash through those barriers.

You know yourself better than anyone else so work out a solution for each of your concerns - how could you really turn them around?

Then one at a time, make those changes you worked out. Keep plugging away.

It might take hours. For others it could take months.

But if you're honest with yourself and look inside deep enough you will come out the other side at that verty tipping point that will make you invincible.

Best of luck, and I look forward to seeing you there.
