The Great Arse Face Experiment (Or - Does Haemorrhoid Cream really help with your turkey neck?)

  • Popular Post

I was recently having a discussion with a Personal Trainer (PT) mate of mine.

He was asking me about the changes I'd noticed with my body since losing my 230 lbs (so far)..
I told him about my 'deflated balloon belly'...

He laughed...

I told him about the 'bat-flaps' of skin under my upper arms that slap against me sometimes when I move...

He laughed...

I told him about my two sizes smaller feet...

He laughed..

The I told him about what was REALLY p*ssing me off...

My 'turkey neck'...

You see, I had a great big bullfrog type head...

Neck really...

I was one puffed-up-canetoad lookin' dude...

I mean, have a look at this - gallery_254366_23096_131367.jpg

As you can see, I've kept the beard in an effort to cover up the under-chin carry on...

Actually, that pic on the right was in October last year, so I've lost a little more from there now...

I'm in a new job now, so I'm decidedly more 'neat and tidy'..

Anyway, back to the 'roid cream thing...

My PT mate was telling me that a lot of the female body builders he knows use the 'roid cream to smooth their bits (no, not THOSE bits) when it comes to comp time...

He reckoned that if I grab a tube or two and have a crack at applying it regularly, it may just smooth and tighten my biggest uncovered embarrassment...

So, here's the sh*t -

Beginning Monday, I'll be applying the Doot Cream twice a day...

It'll be post shower in the morning and evening...

Over the weekend, I'll try to take a decent pic of the affected area...

If I can do so, I'll post it on Monday, then each Monday after I'll post updated pics to see if there's any difference...

I'll also be trying some 'neck yoga sh*t' that I just stumbled on when I googled "wobbly neck skin"...

I hope to be able to shave the beard off (or some of it) by my birthday in July (18th for all those planning gifts)...

So, if anyone is interested, stay tuned and we'll see how we go...

Of course, if anyone has already tried this, please feel free to chime in and let me know how you went...

Thanx for reading all the way to the end...

Assuming you did...

Jason

You look absolutely fantastic! You are lucky you can hide it with a beard. My face was never heavy if nobody saw anything but my face they would not know I was heavy. Anyway I know that hemorrhoid cream will plump up the skin and make wrinkles around the eyes temporarily disappear for a special night. But it is very temporary. I can't see how plumping up your neck would look better. I would think using a salt face cream would work better but it would also be temporary. In time your skin will catch up to your body.

How the hell did I miss this circus?

Too busy drinking all of those Coke Zeros. Obviously.

It's been nagging at me for ages KF who you remind me of. I've got it! It's UK comedian Vic Reeves. You're the spit of him. Mmmmmm..............he's very attractive and very funny. Very like you my little Antipodean treasure x

I have recommended the use of Rodan and Fields amp roller....I can explain if desired. Don't want to infomercial y'all

Working beyond grief for a better life!
