I've been curious about these weight loss wraps that tanning salons and spas offer. So I finally got inspired enough to call and inquire about one called the Fit Wrap. I made an appointment.
So this evening I found myself sandwiched between two heating pads the same density as an X-ray smock. Let me rewind just a few minutes. I sprayed on some fat burner activator which may as well been I Can't Believe Its Not Butter Spray. The bottle says to spray it on problem areas. I had a thought to dip my whole body into it. The I donned a plastic onsie that zipped up the front, jumped up onto a table that had been warming and wrapped myself up like a burrito. There were even 2 pot holder looking warming pads for me to wrap around my arms.
I settled in. The radio was on. I attempted to drift off to sleep. And then my body caught on fire. It's hard to browse shoes on Zappos.com on your phone while your body has burst into flames. I kept resting my heels on some sort of hot pressure point, but every time I tried to reposition my feet, I'd stir up the heat in my burrito.
Sweat started to roll off me. Then I couldn't feel it rolling off because I had soaked my little plastic onsie. I sat up just slightly and a dam from within the onsie broke and sweat flooded the neck of my little disposable outfit. Now my hair is soaked.
The longer I'm laying there, the hotter I'm getting, and the faster my heart is beating. I started to speculate this was named the Fit Wrap because you needed to have some level of physical fitness before hand to live through it.
The hour passed and I was signaled by the machine by a pleasant beep that I could uncocoon myself. As soon as I stepped out, sweat poured out of the foot holes of my onsie. There was so much sweat on the floor, it looked like I had stepped out of the shower. I had to peel the onsie off-- it came off inside out like a wet bathing suit.

| Please excuse my onsie. It became quite see through. |
At home I discovered I had sweat 2 pounds. I'm probably extremely dehydrated and the results are going to be temporary. I figure if you do it 2 times a week every week you could probably really lose some weight. It's no miracle. But its a help. And I can use all the help I can get!
Fit Wrap, you'll be burning my feet again in the near future.
