      I struggle with the "age appropriate" thing all the time, especially as I am now over 50. And, unfortunately, the mainstream styles marketed toward my age group aren't "my" personal style, nor do they fit/suit my body type since I am tall and small-busted... junior clothes seem to be tailored for longer/leaner bodies these days.

      There was a thread here a while back about whether or not middle-aged women could wear shorter-length skirts, and the responses were overwhelmingly positive. It kinda changed my mindset about being "appropriate". Not that I wear skirts or dresses a whole lot, since they don't work too well with knee-high compression stockings :( nor would I ever wear something shorter for work, but I'm now more willing to indulge the SO's fashion requests occasionally, lol.

      May I ask why you wear these and if it helps? Also, are they comfortable? I got a pair over a year ago, I have never worn them, even after going through the trouble of getting fitted etc......

      I confess that I have a thigh gap and treasure it. Whenever I've had a bad eating day or series of days, I check the gap to make sure it's there. And then I think, well, I can't be that fat. I still have the gap. I'm terrified I'll lose it one day, and then what will I tell myself?

      :/ Healthy, I know.

      Thinking about this last night, it occurred to me that I have NO idea how hookers dress these days as I haven't laid eyes on a real life one in years. And this is probably a good thing, lol.

      The last one I saw was wearing a rather cute little short floral dress with a flippy skirt. It looked rather demure until a breeze blew and it quickly became evident that she was wearing no underwear.

      Glad to hear your little guy (does he have a name?) is still hanging on, but sad that he won't eat and you have to worry about him all day.

      His name is Fozzy, but I have just always called him little rodent boy, lol. Speaking of pet names, my cats name is Kyrie, my son named her after an NBA player, and I call her that sometimes, but I mostly call her little girl, and sometimes I call her Kitten Bum lol.

      OMG I cannot believe I am caught up.....well folks, I learned my lesson from not logging in to read here every day!

      I had such a long week, busy with work, and the rodent, and PT, plus I had two long meetings (that were stressful). Yesterday I woke up to go to work to find out that my best friend's (that passed away two years ago) niece lost her eight month old baby (he suffocated on a blanket in his sleep). I am not close to her, but I felt so terrible that happened. No mother should bury their baby. Then this morning I get a message that her SIL (my friends, not the niece) is going in for emergency surgery to fix a hole in her colon that was causing her to be sick with toxins for some time. Last update I got she had been in the OR for almost 8 hours and they were calling in another surgeon. I have been friends with her for a long time, and have been worried all day. Again, I feel terrible for the family, two things in a row like that.....

      I am heading to bed now, I literally spent the whole weekend off and on when I had time catching up on this thread! This week should be a little more normal. I must go spend some time having rodent snuggles before I go to sleep.

      It rained here all day today, and tomorrow looks like it too, I hope Tuesday is sunny so I have some time to sit outside and soak up some rays. I do not use sunscreen if I am only out for an hour or less, I need to tan as it is good for my psoriasis, but I do not get insane about it, and do wear it if I am out all day or swimming (which I do a lot in good weather).

      June 1st is here, which means I can start the countdown to the new season of Orange Is The New Black. :)

      Night folks......I will just say, I love this thread, and missed it greatly this week.

      So I thought maybe we could all use this to get something off of our chests. Confess to anything pertaining to your weight loss journey, it may even be a helpful tip for others! :)'

      Please please PLEASEEEE refrain from being mean. :)

      Here goes it!

      I wear a trash bag under my clothing when I exercise and also for about half of my day.
      Yeah it's not as sophisticated as a Wrap or Those belly wrap things but honestly I like it better. It covers my whole upper body besides my neck, head, and arms. Maybe one of you do the same thing :P

      I have not done this, but I knew a guy in high school that lost over 100 lbs by doing this, just the way you are.

      I have been desperate to find a type of exercise that isn't mind-numbing. I wanted to take ballet lessons but I couldn't find a place that was willing to teach beginner adults.

      So.... tomorrow I start pole dancing lessons. (They call it "pole fitness". Yea, right.)
    • Posts: 3,685 Member

      Confession: I have FINALLY started exercising regularly again but only because I have someone who is seeing me naked on a regular basis now.

      I feel like it is shallow and stupid but I want to be desirable to him.

      Pole fitness IS fitness. You will get a work out and you will be sore. Those men and women on poles are ATHLETES! They have competitions and everything. It's not easy. We have a pole dancing studio in Austin called Brass Ovaries headed up by U.S. Army veteran Natasha. I want to take classes there but I work nights and nothing really works with my schedule where I would be able to get adequate sleep.

      Go forth, and become unbound by gravity's limitations!

      I understand. My friend feels the same way, that her depression is a personal failing or weakness (even though she knows differently) and she "should" be able to pull out of it herself. She feels doubly bad about it now that it looks like her daughter has inherited the condition, just as my friend did from her mum.

      She did have good results from CBT a few years ago and was able to manage her condition with only one medication.

      I hope tomorrow is a much better day for you!

      I just came in from washing my SO's truck -- he's at work now. @MoHousdon 's recent posts reminded me (not that I forget!) that I have a totally awesome fella who does nice things for me all the time, so I should be doing more nice things for him.

      If I was upset that something I wanted was out of stock, he'd hunt it down online too. And he's willing to indulge all my silly American "junk food" urges, even if it means driving from store to store in search of something elusive.

      His iPad is logged in to my Amazon account because he was wishlisting parts for me to order for one of my vehicles. He also puts things on there that he needs that I can tack onto an order if I need to beef up the amount to qualify for free shipping. About a month ago, while he was at work, he asked me to get a few of the things on on the wish list so I logged on to place the order... and he'd stacked the top of the list with all kind of silly merchandise featuring the phrase "I love you more". Awwww. <3

      I am catching up from Friday.

      My hubby does that too. There was/is a dinner theater show I have been wanting to see. It started in April and runs to June 17. My hubby procrastinated in getting tickets and now its sold out for the remaining production. He agreed to take me to a different city just to see it

      Moms can be sooo maddening! Hang in there!!!

      Today my mom and I went to a ceramic studio. She picked me up at 11:30 and at 10:50 I asked her if she had eaten or if she wanted to grab something. She opted to grab something and then on the way said she wasn't hungry and that she thought I had meant to be something "later". I was so mad since 1) I hadn't had breakfast, 2) I could have eaten something at home rather than takeout (got Subway so it wasn't too bad), 3) I could have saved some $$$.

      I go back to work tomorrow after having 2 weeks off. I will miss being able to participate in the conversation during the day as I will have to wait until I get home.

      I am a smaller size right now than I have been since before I had children (they are now 31.29 and 27 years old) I am discovering all kinds of new options in clothing and wonder at times if what I am putting on is age appropriate. Just today I was showing my daughter - the 27 year old some things I bought to wear on vacation next week and she said "Oh wow mom, we can share clothes now - well - after I have this baby anyway" and we both cracked up.

      I would say that is an NSV. :)

      Susie: take comfort in the fact you get up to pray, count it as a success and evidence of the larger plan for you.

      Italian: glad your little guy is hanging on

      Pofoster: congrats :)

      Confessions:
      1) yesterday morning I decided to go the gym while everyone was still sleeping. I found all my gym sets in the wash. So I rummaged dirty clothes out the wash basket and wore those rather than not go to the gym

      2) we might have been a bit over enthusiastic in the mattress gymnastics and I've got an 'internal' injury that puts me out of commission for a few days. A good time was had by all.

      3) today, instead of a proper meal, we went to the ice cream parlour and had sundaes for dinner. After I spent all morning cooking and prepping healthy meals and lunches for next week

      4) my boss is in her 50s, very slim, with long legs, and wears very short skirts in the office. I do judge her for their length, but agree pencil skirts are classic, timeless and ageless

      As for #3 if it fit within your calories all good! If not you have a week of healthy food to make it up. ;)

      Not to worry, I've never been suicidal. :) I just want to... Stop existing, if that makes sense. It's almost midnight here and my husband is asleep, but he's around to wake up if I need him. :)

      Nope, I don't have a doctor. I mentioned it like five million posts back, but I'm terrified of doctors. I tried to get help once and I just couldn't make it through the sessions. I broke down after my second one and never went back. I also never spoke to the doctor directly (my husband had to speak for me), because I have selective mutism and couldn't speak. It was a pretty useless attempt, to be honest. :-/

      Have you tried videoconferencing with any doctors? There is a woman at the barn that is a psychiatrist. She has some patients she video conferences with. Perhaps that would work for you? By not being in person maybe that would help with the fear of speaking? And allow you to be more open?

      Early in the thread, some of you 'confessed' that you use Leslie Sansone 'Walk at Home' videos, but with the sound off because her positive, chirpy attitude is so grating.

      Well...I confess that I use her videos too. Love 'em. And I keep the sound on because even though it's over-the-top, her attitude helps me =P.

      That is awesome though! You've found something that works for you. :)

      I have to confess that I got completely turned off New Rules of Lifting for Women when I got to the part that says YOU MUST EAT BREAKFAST. At that point the book lost all credibility for me.

      I read and use some of that book, but I never eat breakfast. If I eat before I do cardio or early in the morning I literally vomit. So I blow a big raspberry at that bit, stick my fingers in my ears and sing lalala I can't hear you.

      Unfortunately, therapy options in Saudi Arabia are extremely limited, and the hospital my husband's insurance covers has very limited amounts of doctors. Only one psychiatrist was experienced with my particular condition (Functional Neurological Disorder accompanied by anxiety disorder, clinical depression, and selective mutism), and none of the available therapists seemed to have experience in CBT. I made an appointment with one female therapist, but chickened out and canceled at the last minute, though, so I can't say for sure.

      My husband is very sympathetic and knows exactly what I'm going through because he has some similar issues. He's medicated though, and I'm not. He's my best (and only) cheerleader, actually. :) And on a bright note, he told me a couple of days ago that my anxiety has improved in leaps and bounds over the past month or so, and I attributed a lot my success to the support in this thread. :)

      Home visits don't really exist here, and I'm not sure that they'd be easier or more comfortable for me. :( And the psychiatrist that I did manage to see kind of gave up on letting me talk and wouldn't even wait for me to try to speak after the first session--He just tried throwing medication at me without even letting me speak. I was very disheartened after that. :(

      Reading backwards so repeating but a videoconference might be the way to go. I can put you in touch with the woman if you are interested? She is a psychiatrist. If you aren't interested in her there may be others she can refer you to?

      I was totally going to go for it, but they are all sold out and won't have any until August. I may still order it depending on if I find anything else. I was very sad when I found out they were sold out.

      That's almost exactly what mine looked like, but I wasn't brave enough to wear it without jeans over it.

      Yeah not sure I could have either but being short and rounder I think I would have looked pretty awful.

      I know others say this later on but I want this guy. Can you rent him out on weekends? :)
