divamom Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Thanks...I know my loose skin sucks, but so does being 50 and having 3 grown kids. That's me hating my legs..you should see my arms, shoulders and back--I could compete tomorrow. . I hate my thighs, and I feel heavy. I know...crazy. By the way,you look awesome in your cutting, and kudos on the guy. It's always fun to have someone interested.

divamom Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 I do a lot of cardio..always have. But lifting is the bomb. I have just had a hard time focusing with my current lay off and family issues and getting caught up in "the food". I hate losing weight,so I stay manic about my food. But I always wish I were 5 lbs lighter. Crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cellar Yeti Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Bummer your guts are giving you so much trouble. Have you tried fasting? You said you have some form of IBS, right? I find the rest my guts get during IF really help. Might be time to go see a gastro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divamom Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 yup on the Gastro; I choose not to treat the IBS with anything--and I could have had my intestines ripped apart and resewn back in November--I thought it way too invasive as well as there was a 5% chance it wouldn't work---so, I chose the hernia ( worthless surgery as I look back now), and so choose diet and a minimalist approach to treating---for now. Thanks for the thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divamom Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks Robert.Giving up potatoes for lent, even tho' I am Jewish ( ha- kidding, don't practice anyways)and Giving up gumdrops, GF bagels and cream cheese, too. And anything I know I will binge on...I hafta white knuckle it, as until I get a job, the weeks I don't have my 50% custody, I binge...the weeks I have my daughter I am ninja, stealth perfect on diet and training. So, correlation and tie inis EMOTIONAL...and emotions are NOT predictors of whats real. Time to buck up and quit being a f-ing baby. Oh, and EnviroKidz Leapin Lemur bars and cereal...I will make that my next cheat in two weeks! Off to cardio and legs will be later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
