I've found two negatives from major weight loss!

  • Popular Post

Ok these may just be mine but I've found two negatives from losing a large amount of weight. I've discovered both of these while taking a bath (figured I may as well set the scene) 1) My once plump butt is boney, and I'm talking sit down to shave my legs and it hurts boney. I feel like my skinny friends really dropped the ball on not telling me this! I'm going to have to seriously rethink my friendships since it's blatantly obviously they care nothing about my well being. 2) The weirdest one, shaving my underarms! It's like someone came and built the Grand Canyon under my arms! WTH happened under there?!! I swear if it were any deeper I would be shaving my lungs!! So odd! I have to literally pull contortionist moves to get everything shaved properly. Isn't November no shave month?! I think I'm going to join the men on that one because this shaving is for the birds!! I know you guys have some you could share too! Maybe give a girl a heads up before I forgo bathing all together. ;) I would include pictures but Alex would probably frown on that so use your imagination ;)

Omg yes! The bony ass...who knew that was there? And the impossible to shave pits...super concave with loose skin to navigate...dangerous to say the least! And yeah, I can shave my lady garden, but I even have loose skin to deal with there!! Damn! At times I find the extra skin fascinating and amusing...but it sure creates some interesting challenges! A friend of mine is even more fascinated by it and loves to squish it...even calks me "squishy one" which makes me giggle.

Thanks for mention the loose skin in the lady garden, I thought I was alone!!

I needed this... Too funny!!!

OMG!!! Yes, Yes, Yes to all of the above!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink: :o :unsure:

Boney Butt syndrome was one of the first things I noticed after sitting on a stool cleaning out the basement. OUCH! I couldn't sit comfortably for 2 days. And let's not talk about my bat wings ... forget clapping for me, the first time I shook my arms after a shower to get the Water off my husband seriously asked me if I was okay! But my biggest issue is definitely the loss of my boobs. I went from a 46F/46DDD to a 40D-ish. Talk about pancakes!!! I bent over at school the other day and totally had one breast pop completely out of my bra! I was sooooo glad it was my prep & no one was in the room. :blush: We are doing a flash mob at an assembly and we had practice Friday, so went & changed into a sports bra first. Unfortunately, even THAT didn't hold em down so well. Felt like I was gonna take flight between the bat wings flapping and the boobs wobbling all around!!!

My Italian grandmother. I am built for them even smaller. I need mine back! It would be nice to not wear a bra 24/7

There is one other thing which has been brought to my attention been back and forth between London and Rome Italy for the last 4 months so aside from my kids I haven't seen any of my family members since the sleeve so I occasionally post pictures on Facebook well I uploaded a picture last week all of a sudden keep getting calls form all sorts wanting to know if everything is well with me. I was a bit puzzled by the sudden interest in my will being

Well I have lost soon much weight from my face it looks like I have just been discharged from hospital after a major illness

Now am only 5ft2 and 148 My bum says overweight so what happened to my face now think what I need to do plum up my face

HAHAHAHAAHAA!!! You're so funny!! I have been meaning to make a post about my underarm problems as well!! I can't get a clean shave!! Shaving my knees is dangerous as well, they are too angular.

And don't even get me started on boney butt pain. I have real trouble sitting on hard chairs for any long amount of time. I used to fear breaking chairs- now I fear them breaking my butt!!

When I was overweight I felt like the only large person in the world. Now I realize the opposite is true and I'm in the minority. I can't shop at old navy, target, banana republic or the gap anymore. The sizes are too big because they run large as it is. I'm a size 2/4 and find myself shopping in teenager stores because women sizes aren't small enough.

I wish I had been kinder to myself when I was overweight. :) at least I did have a GREAT butt back then with a built in cushion!
