Moving to the Hottentots

If anyone reading this knows me, you’ll know why I want to move to the Hottentots of Africa.  My Psyc 365 book states:

“Among the Hottentots of Africa, the condition known as steatopygia-enlargement of the buttocks- is considered a mark of great beauty, and the bigger the bottom the better!”

Finally, a place I can be appreciated!

Anyway- yesterday was horrible. I’m trying to get through this psyc class (Independent Study), and I thought it would be EASY! Not So!  I’ve submitted 4 assignments… and not doing so well on them.  I think I’ know the answers, and then they are wrong.  As a result of studying all day, and getting more and more frustrated, I ate,… and ate… and ate.  Funny thing was, the chapters were about eating, drinking, and aggression (It’s motivational psyc).  So I stopped tweeting my food, and instead, ate too much, gained another half pound. This is where it stops.  I was 125 this morning, and I really feel uncomfortable in my clothes when I’m above 125.  I always think the solution is to fast all day, to make up for it… but that only lasts me until about 8am.

Fasting really works. However, it is hardcore. It’s probably better that you don’t. Also, at 125 pounds, I bet your butt is not big! LOL You are being paranoid. How tall are you? You do not need to move to Africa. I am sure your husband and your children think you are gorgeous…and that’s all that matters. Happy New Year!

It does work! I have Dr. Fuhrman’s book on Fasting, and it is hardcore too! I just wish I could. And it’s true, my family thinks I look great, and I don’t lose sleep over it, BUTT I’m only 5 ft tall- exactly. And with a very small waist, 27 inches, my hips look enormous! 39 inches!!!!!
