Aging Backwards Tuesday Tips #43: Skinny Songs Rock!

You know how sometimes you hear a song and you can't get it out of your head? That's exactly what's happened to me with Skinny Songs by Heidi Roizen (with a host of other great talent), but it's more like 10 songs that I can't get out of my head! In fact, I woke up this morning with one of my favorite Skinny Songs on my mind, which makes me wonder if they've secretly embedded subliminal messages into the songs. How's that for a conspiracy theory?

When I first heard about the Skinny Songs CD, I wasn't sure what to think. When I first heard the Skinny Songs...I was hooked! I wasn't expecting such a professional production. This is radio-quality music. Besides the catchy tunes and wonderful vocals, the lyrics are adorable and inspiring. Talk about effective, I don't even have any weight to lose, but I want to lose some anyway whenever I listen to the CD, which is often. I play it every time I'm in my car.

Here are some of my favorite Skinny Songs Lyrics:

1) Song: Think I'll Go To Saks

Here I am at Neiman's
though I don't have the budget
but I'm not here to buy so
I'm gonna have to fudge it

I find it entertaining
to come in here
and try on fancy clothes that
wouldn't fit me last year

Think I'll go to Saks
just because I wanna
try on all their Gucci
and their Dolce and Gabbana

what used to be a struggle
fits me just right
what used to be traumatic
is now a delight

Delight, la la la la la la la ....

2) Song: I'm a Hottie Now.

I spent years in misery
'Cause everyone who looked at me
Was thinking evil thoughts about my thighs

Made up my mind, I'd had enough
I was determined to get slim and buff
I hit the gym, and no more fries!

Oh yeah you bet, it was difficult
But you can't argue with my result
Now what you see, when you're lookin' at my body…

I'm a hottie now! (gimme something sexy)
I'm a hottie now! (something that barely fits me)
worked on my body, and I'm a hottie now!

3) Song: Use It To Lose It.

You say you don't want no gut (no gut)
Don't want to have no big butt (uh huh)
Well then get up outta your rut
Come on y'all, let's make that cut (hey!)

That's it now, get off your duff
No more fat, we have had enough
Gotta do a little huff and puff
so that you can strutt your stuff

We're in a feel good revolution
You just need some evolution
To improve your constitution
Get a move on! That's the solution!

4) Song: Thin.

Money can't buy you happiness
Of this, I'm a believer
There's something I want, I must confess
-- But money can't buy that either

( I jus' wanna be)
Thin! -- I don't deny it. Thin! -- I wanna try it
Thin! -- but I can't buy it. Guess I'll have to di- di- diet

5) Song: Objects In The Mirror (This is the one that woke me up!)

Mirrors, mirrors everywhere, but nothing good to see
I thought for the longest time that this was just my destiny
Then one day, decided, this ain't who I want to be
So it's to the gym I go to face the body facing me

Objects in the mirror will get thinner than they now appear
I don't like what I'm seeing - yeah, but that's the reason I come here
And if I come most every day, I know those pounds will disappear
Objects in the mirror will get thinner than they now appear

Even if you're happy at your current weight, I recommend Skinny Songs because the music is so upbeat, fun and happy! If you are trying to shed some excess pounds, I think you may find Skinny Songs to be motivational and inspirational. You can read all the lyrics, sample the music and buy the CD HERE.
