I have been feelin all good about myself until I saw my reflection in a full length mirror yesterday. Sure I'm losing but oh my lawd, my butt is taking on a stupid shape. I'm only 18 days out and I'm blaming this butt shape on lack of exercise. Sitting on my arse, trying to heal and figure out what's wrong with my gut (whole other story).

You know how some people have that flat spot then it gets round on the top? Like you can see where they have sat for years and years?

That's now MY butt. NOOOOOO! I can't WAIT til I can exercise and get my fat redistributing. Dang.

Amanda, I'm in the hospital with blood clots in the vessels in(on?) my intestines. It's rare, they say I'm an "interesting case". Had I waited, parts of my bowel actually could have died and I'd need sirgery. I've been here since yesterday and I seem to be improving already. The pain really seems to Have subsided quite a bit.

But. My butt. it looks like an old ladies rump.

Well I hope you have a speedy recovery! And I hope you lose your shel butt too!

Amanda Rae

Amy what was the symptom of your blood clot? Hope u get well soon.

Amy what was the symptom of your blood clot? Hope u get well soon.

Well, I guess since this is rare, chances are you won't get it. But I had severe stomach pain for a week. Doubled over on the floor crying out to god pain. Was mis"diagnosed" 3 times because noone wanted to take me very seriously. Sigh

Amy.. You are too funny... Focus on that healing and losing. You can reshape your ass down the road! So for you, its throw away the scale AND the mirror!

All my life, even when stick thin, I had hips. Got fat, hips got fatter. Got thin, hips went flat. I mean gone. NO BUTT.

Don't know where the heck it went.

Enough about butts. More importantly, hope you get better soon, amytug!

I plan on doing lots of those old buns of steel moves my mom used to do when I was a kid. They burn! I'm gonna have a round bum!!

heck, I just wish I had a bum...when I lose weight it just flattens out

And I wish you a speedy recovery Amy...so you can work on those buns of steel.

Im 60 so expecting no butt, boobs to the waist at least, and a crap load of ugly skin! Im going to get a bunch of those spam can keys and just roll it up and tuck it away. I think with all the other issues, a flat butt will be pretty far down my priority list! Tons of well wishes amy! I think you sound better... Theres a joy in your words that i have not heard for a long time.

Very true. So happy to have answers.

Oh and my boobs will be flagrant boobs for sure.

It's a sad sad day when a woman looses her ass. Sigh.

Lol Amy! You're so cute. And unfortunately I've lost and gained weight (up to 100lbs) more times than I'd like to count, and really, you could look in the mirror 10 pounds from now and your butt might be a whole new shape!! Lol Don't worry about it. You need to focus on resting and getting better. Your first couple weeks have sucked! But, it's all downhill from here!!!

I'm 29 and I remember the sardines being like that when I was little. I miss them. There was something cathartic about doing that.
