How-To Get Rid of Cellulite

You can do it! I've read and heard so-called experts say you can't get rid of cellulite, but I did, so I'll tell you how to get rid of cellulite without having to remortgage, I promise.

First, a (very) little about me. I was a teenaged Tom-boy, I played all kinds of sports in high school (softball, basketball, vollyball, track), and so I've always been fit and toned and never imagined I'd have to worry about cellulite until much later in life (I'm only 29 for gosh sakes).

But, there I was a year ago, after a hard pregnancy that had left me bed ridden for nearly the whole last two months and a PPD that lasted several months as well, with dimples and craters that made my butt look like the moon. Actually, my butt made the moon look smooth, LOL

I tried a bunch of creams and treatments, but most were crap. A few did seem to help and I'll gladly mention those, but even they only work when combined with the real secret... ready for it?... Diet and Exercise!

I know, blagh blagh blagh, "there's no time to work out", "I love cake too much to pass it by", yadda yadda yadda. I said all the same things. But, it's either do what you have to do, or learn to love that funky texture on your butt and thighs. For me, that was enough to get motivated and started.

I know, "diet and exercise", it sounds like a lot of hard work before you've started, but it really wasn't now that I look back at it. I started out by cutting the salt and fat intake from my diet, having cereal for breakfast, meatless salads for lunch, and sensable dinners. It was a major system shock from my normal routine of Pizzas and fast-food meals every week, but I actually never really missed anything and certainly never spent any time feeling hungry. I didn't refrain from eating, I just ate wisely, which is pretty easy to do once you make the decision.

As for exercise, I started by walking around my neighborhood for 30 minutes every night after dinner. Nothing major, just a nice evening stroll. After a week I added a 15 minute morning jog to my days. I'm always awake before my alarm goes off anyway, so instead of just laying there until it rang I began taking a quick jog. After a few more weeks I switched my evening walks to jogging as well, and I started doing some basic leg stretches before bed each night.

That's really all it took. After a couple of months the difference was night and day. I know I feel better about myself and my appearance, but I think I feel better from an overall healty perspective too because I've kept up with the diet and exercising since.

As I said, I did try a few different creams and treatments, most of them didn't seem to help at all (and I think they're just crap), but a couple things that did seem to help me were bodyshape cream(they have a free trial offer right now) and the Ultimate Cellulite Treatment. Again, these aren't magic potions (there are none!) and you still have to do the hard work yourself, but I think they helped to supplement the hard work I was putting in so they're worth mentioning to others.
