Pussy's Talk

You know... in any group of girls there is the diet fanatic... Mine is not different.

So, this friend of mine is the one who comes with all the new diets and stuff. She has been breaking our patience about Hoodia for a while, specially every time Lizzy grabs a piece of pizza...

Anyway, it caught my curiosity. So  I started looking for some info about this miracle thinghy.

Found that it comes from Africa, the Kalahary. Apparently, the groups living there eat it in some kind of ceremony before going to hunt. They are going to be several days in the desert and hunger can get in the way. What means bad news for the whole group.

Now, that is a good reson for using it!

It is a very strong appetite suppressant and, taking it like some do here, it is stupid and plain dangerous.

Now, if you tell me that you have your stomach really big and just can't cut to normal sizes, if your health is in risk for that... then to take it for a while until you get back to normal is a possible way to go. But to play ping pon with the body is a no-no.

Lizzy is using it and she was able to lose weight and cut to normal portions. But all her emotional crap is still there... already told her to change her good for nothing for another one and solve all that stuff... or she will get back to good old comfort  food once she is out of Hoodia.

Anyway, I found one place where they don't only sell it but have some info and a program. I guess to keep you on the safe side and help with the other stuff that gets in the way when you want to get rid of weight. If you are thinking on taking Hoodia pills, you might want to check them out. I still prefer the more "natural" methods to get rid of that extra pound...

I saw a friend after six months. 

Meantime, she had divorced and moved. During that time I followed up with her by phone until she sounded in one piece again and then gave her a break.

After those six months, I had to go to her new hometown and decided to pay a visit.

You can’t imagine my surprise, my jaw literally dropped… She was 40 pounds slimmer (those pregnancy pounds that seem to refuse to go after the delivery), bronzed and just beautiful.

Of course I had to know! So I asked…

Everything started walking. She was so upset and stressed out that she decided to walk one hour every morning. The first days, she was destroyed, but then things got easier.

She discovered that those last years, she would chew or bite any snack around every time she wanted to slap her now ex. No ex around… no chewing! Yippie!!

But it was not only that what made the miracle change… One day, a guy she had been crossing while walking for about a month approached and asked her out. He was not her type, she had always looked for testosterone macho men, and this one was not… Now, she was so fed up of the fight or flight behavior… that she decided to give it a try. After all, a new mistake is always better than an old one.

Well, the guy ended up being amazing in bed. One of those rare animals that really seem to care; he was not happy if his woman is not satisfied and he really knew how her body worked.

So THAT was the miracle going on…

Here comes her recipe to be slim and beautiful:

• A full life.
• Keep the slapping feelings around to the minimum.
• One hour walk every day.
• One hour of good sex, 3 nights a week.

She is looking GOOD!

Grab her recipe if you can, I know… some of the ingredients are in short supply. ;)

Her recipe tied up ideas that were floating for some time in my mind. To look good is the consequence of a fulfilling life and treat yourself right; not about the last hot make up, designer clothes or breast implant (even when some or all of those things are absolutely necessary!).

From all the information and disinformation around, I recommend you to keep an eye on Andrea Albright (the girl on the left...yep! it is the same one).

Her proposal might not give you the results you see on her, but it will not hurt you in any way, and the more you are able to walk her path the better you are going to feel and look.

What is it that she says? Basically that to be fat is a clever reaction of the body to keep the chemical shit out of the way and protect vital organs. 

From there she developed an eating and exercise plan that helps release the extra weight while keeping yourself healthy.  

And the best part... it can be easily blended with my friend's workout... ;)

Not too long ago a friend called me. She was in emotional war front and she was starting to get worried about her health...
 
She was usually a very energetic and happy person, and she was feeling completely drained.
 
She called also another friend, crazy as an old cat, some people knows her as Madame Z ... She is one of the founders of Romancing the Woman, I will invite her to share her wisdom here too...

Here is a non personal version of what she answered:

 Keep the body healthy:

If you manage to keep her in one piece, you will recover. If you get unbalanced, you can carry the consequences for the rest of your life, and YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT.

There are three areas that suffer more:

• lost of iron (reinforce the iron with a couple of pills after the period finish, specially if it is or becomes abundant),
• tendency to infections (you can keep yourself in the safe side having a strawberry shake every day with real strawberries or eating at least 5 strawberries a day, any berry will do, at this moment I am taking shakes with 6 strawberries and 2 tb spoons of acai, powerful),
• depressed immunologic system (reinforce vitamin C, eat tangerine, orange, kiwi or take a vitamin C pill, the more natural you go the better).

Define your emotional bottom line and protect it:

Make a strong effort to process your hurt feelings within yourself. At the end, we all do the best we can; if he did things wrong it is still his best, so let him go with a kiss.

And force him to process his shit by himself. It doesn’t matter how much you hurt him, to come aggressively to you or whatever is just not acceptable. When he comes to you put your little finger in his face and make him shut up. Don't let him hurt you any more, that gives him power.
 

Keep your head in the prize:

If to go separate ways is the best, think about this as a blizzard and keep your head in the nice hot chocolate that awaits you once you reach home.
