Today my therapist told me I have the body of a 14 year old boy.

Wasn't very nice of her.

You should have told her "How do you know what I have buried in my backyard?"

That would have messed with her head!:)

I bet she meant it as a compliment. Waifish

No secret I am not crazy about these charts because most of us probably want to think of ourselves as hour glass but the underlying bone structure doesn't support it..just another reason to find flaw. I don't feel that way anymore as I embrace my God given attributes but I didn't start out thinking that way.

The advantage of self awareness however is the art of creative dressing. I am the inverted triangle, athletic build but it is readily disguised. The first time I was aware I was at a very formal work related cocktail event. My colleagues all told me I looked "va-voom" so to speak. Then a friend took me aside told me she had tried the same dress I bought at Macy's but it made her have a "huge ass" whereas on me it was very figure flattering because it gave me that hourglass shape. Little light bulbs went off in my head and since then I have not been afraid of clothes that make the butt look big. I have been complimented many times on my figure even though I am bigger than I wish I were. I mean that I don't get petite - when I lose more weight I just look bony, my butt gets tiny but my shoulders/chest never get that small, just bony. It was a little hard to get over the idea that I will always be bigger than my skinny friends due to our basic builds being so different but I have embraced it and dress for my figure.

1) No wonder woman have so many body issues.

2) No, not "what I have buried" should be "who you have buried"

According to folktales and legends, if a person rubs Buddha's belly, it brings good luck, wealth and prosperity. We all need to rub a Buddha belly.

He can speak for himself, but I do think he would prefer you wait until the hernia is healed

In my mind I am essential nothingness (but I am a guy, so I have that going for me), but I'm probably in this plain of reality a Bart.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
