It doesn't matter how much weight you lose, you are NEVER going to look like Twiggy. Respect your own DNA, don't try to copy anyone else's. Oh yes, do buy those 2 two-bedroom apartments on Spring Street opposite the Houses of Parliament - for $13,000 each. You can rip out the pink leather wall coverings and the life size posters of Botticelli's Venus out of the bathrooms later. And take the numbers off the bedroom doors likewise.
