Sometimes, before a date, or if I know I’m going to see a special someone, I’ll make myself an exercise and diet plan that would rival that of someone training for the Summer Olympics.

“This will be great!” I naively think to myself. “I’ll just wake up at 6 and hit yoga before work. I will drink a refreshing spinach and cucumber smoothie for lunch, completely eschew all processed foods, cheerily munch on a celery stick for dinner, and make it to the gym for the 8 pm Spin. After 10 days of this regimen, I will look so good naked that it will actually be a crime for me to wear clothes. No man, woman, or animal will be able to resist me.”

Except, (spoiler alert, future boyfriends!) that never happens. So basically, I need a realistic way to look good naked, one that doesn’t involve celery sticks, planning, or will power.
