Back Fat

[phesina]

I had a talk with myself and realized that "I am enough" - that no matter how blah and goalless things look now, that my own life is enough reason to get well, literally.

Thanks for lending an ear.

Candace, this is good advice you gave yourself.. and I realize I should give myself, too.. so thank you!

God bless you.

Hugs from Pat

Back fat and big butts are so horrible because you just don't know.
There you are going about your life not realizing what people who walk behind you see or say.
What is it they say? Lots of junk in the trunk. LOL
I don't have a big butt but back fat, yup there is some and it is not comfortable. I lift weights to try and get rid of it but it is hard really really hard.
I carry my fat more in my tummy and chest area. I don't know if that is good or bad, I always see the extra weight.
There was a funny joke I heard once it went like this.

I thought some one was following me but then I realized it was my butt. LOL
Doesn't matter how hard I try that extra weight is always following me.

I really miss my younger days. I was able to out run the weight. Sometimes I really doubt I will get to the 120's again. Yet I am not ready to give up yet either.

At first I thought I misread the post and you were going to talk about bacon! Anyhow, look at it this way, Candace: it's behind you, you can't see it, only those behind you can see it. If they're not fast enough to keep up w/you, you don't need 'em. And if they're behind you b/c they're in your past, then that's where they should stay and you still don't need 'em. Just take good care of your body b/c it's your vehicle for experiencing life on earth. Sometimes when I look at myself I see my mother. I never thought in a million years that I'd look like this. I thought I was going to be a size 2 forever. Right. I could work out and diet and be as patient as death but size 2 is now just a memory. I don't scare people when I walk among them in public, so I figure I'm doin' alright. You look pretty darned good to me, girlie.

I've never had back fat, even when I was carrying around more weight than I should have, and I really could use some of that weight now. It won't happen tho for various reasons.

Nothing wrong with a little back fat I would think, but just like everything else, too much is not good. I'm not being disrespectful to anyone, but it really is time to lose some weight when the fat on the back gets to the point where it looks like a bra is needed for it. Looking the same, front and back, is not a good thing.

Good luck to all seeking to get rid of what they can't see........
