Raison d'Etre -Chanel!


How, and why, did all this come about?

I owe it all to fashion. Specifically, the divine Karl Lagerfeld, the man behind the iconic House of Chanel.

Just like him, I adore fashion, always have. I strive to be chic. I struggle to be en vogue. But believe me when I tell you, it is very hard to be fashionable with jiggly elephant thighs (which look horrible with the black tights I'm always wearing), or with a droopy, flabby midriff. Just like Karl, I knew I was getting out of hand, and therefore decided to transform myself.

Here are some quotes from the great man himself, post successful weight loss of NINETY-TWO pounds in 13 months:

"If there's something dangerous, sauces are dangerous for the body. "

"Some people would like me to be round again."

"I eat next to nothing."

"I have now exactly the same weight I had when I was 18, 20. "

"Fashion is the best motivation for losing weight."

"A respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul."

And my personal favorite: "Yes, some people say to me you're too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that. "


Karl Lagerfeld. What a legend. To read the full article on his journey, go here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/dietandfitness/3305257/I-lost-weight-to-be-a-good-clotheshorse.html
