Oh man ! I ’ Ve been starving myself for days now and I haven ’ t lost an ounce !   Are you trying to lose weight ?   Yeah , my friend is getting married next month and I ’ m supposed to be a bridesmaid . I have to fit into my dress and look nice for her wedding , but I haven ’ t lost any weight ! Look at these love handles .   You don ’ t have to starve yourself to lose weight . I think that ’ s where you ’ re going wrong .   Why ? If I eat less , then my body will start eating away at my fat reserves , right ?
