Oh, and on the weight loss subject -
I haven't been doing well at all on getting back into the healthy eating thing, and I really need to. I have shitloads of clothes and nothing that fits, and I'm just feeling really gross right now.
But. Somehow in this most recent cycle of weight gain, I seem to be developing an ass. I come from a long line of flat-asses, so this is really a new thing, and I'm kind of pleased. (Seriously. We were at the state fair a couple of summers ago and my dad coughed and his pants fell down. True story.) So now I have to figure out exercise/diet solutions that will get rid of my big fat belly but keep some of the junk in the trunk. Must ponder.
I feel dirty just remembering enough to start this post, but I swear Jessica Simpson had some butt-enhancing workout tips after her Daisy Duke foray last year, or whenever.
You could google.

No, not really.
At anyone but ita, I would just leave it at the first line. ita scares me though, so she can have all the embarassing knowledge she wants.
The ballet plie wide stance does wonders for the butt. (lived around body focused ballet people for years)
Please. I can't imagine what I'd look like with fifty pounds off my frame. Frankly, I think it wouldn't be terribly healthy for me, and I don't think I'd see me were I to look in the mirror. I like myself right now, extra baggage and all. Where the hell would I lose it from anyway?
God, I have such a huge hate-on for the BMI. I bet no one ever tells Brad Pitt that he needs to lose weight.
Is your BP good? Your cholesterol? Your blood sugar? Then good god, why does your doctor need to cram you into a line on a chart?
I know people at their "ideal" weight who have unbelievably high cholesterol and blood pressure. But they fit in that slot on the BMI chart, so it's all good, yo.
Rant rant ranty-pants.
Don't remember how close we have to be to end of thread, but I need to go over to B'craxy and suggest a few of the Spike Quotes that Deena brought to the table last time. There were a few that strike a cord.
I think I'm sobering up.
So when do we destroy the world, already?
That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
Every day a fresh bout of torture.
They all seem appropriate about now.
Please. I can't imagine what I'd look like with fifty pounds off my frame.
Feh. Doctor is jealous of the hottness that is SA.
Amen Steph.
I've finally gotten to a point in my life where, when my father makes any slightly derogatory comment about my weight, I fire back with "but my cholesterol and BP are perfect". His aren't.
And honestly, I'd rather take on the extra weight and deal with the body issues I have than have to take extra meds with who knows what side effects in order to control my cholesterol or BP.
BMI is odd. and usually wrong. and honestly, if you have any health problems and your doctor was serious about you loseing weight - your doctor would say 10% - 20 lbs. It has been proven that loseing 10% of your body weight can make a signifigent difference. And I saw your last picture. You look good to me. And it is way more important that you are happy with yourself
