"Don't lose the good parts!"

Everytime I tell one of those people from Mars that I am officially, officially getting back into my old habits, they always say some variation of the same thing: "Don't lose the ass!" "Don't lose your hips!" "Don't lose the good parts!" WTF?

First and foremost, this is how we women get all sidetracked and confused about what our body image is versus what it should be. If I hear one more female say, "I don't want to lose the thickness" or my personal favorite: "I just want to lose my belly and this back fat. The rest can stay." I will scream. OK, I'll really complain about it silently or rant about it here because I am on this new Zen kick where I am trying not to raise my voice, blood pressure, or sweat the small stuff BUT the irritation remains. Honey, you can't lose JUST your tummy. OK, there I said. Losing weight, building muscle, and getting healthier is a complete transformation. Not only will your outward appearance to the public change, but your insides will change, healthier lungs, heart, liver, intestines etc. The way you look, think and feel about food will change too. You won't need greasy food to line your belly wid... when you're hungry you will think about a good-for-you meal versus fast "food."

Leave the unbelievably large asses to the porn stars and oddly shapen people. Furthermore, if you got ass by second-nature... trust and believe it ain't going nowhere. It might be more proportionate, but whether an 8 or an 18, the ass is still gonna be there just hopefully tighter and higher thanks to a serious squat regimen. There are ways to work it out, trust. If you don't believe me... allow my now size 12-14 ass show you my high school size 8 ass. It's the same one just with less cellulite and tone. lol

I handle some business with my free time tomorrow, including checking out the YMCA not far from my house about their gym plans. I was planning on starting to build my home gym but I think it would be good for me to get outta the house... even though in a few short months the weather will be too nice to be holed up in anyone's gym. I am so very confused on what it is I wanna do... lawd.

But I am working on defining my "good parts!" and I feel fantabulous.

I am on a detox that I have kinda altered slightly of whole / live foods and fresh juice... that I am loving. I am also starting to clean out the insides with fiber flushes... I hope to rise up in three weeks a lighter, cleaner version of myself. I'm not worried about weight loss. Just take away this icky feeling.
