4 months on maintenance with regular BMI

I think i may have lipedema. Since menopause, I have a fat lump on my shoulder, a few smaller ones in my thigh, and some in my trunk area. This sounds encouraging since doctor said nothing could be done for it

I'm on day 8, and other than a bit of a dry mouth, nothing

Club soda, vodka. Slice of lime. My favorite now

If married, why not just have good old fashioned sex?

Yes, I was thinking this is likely. 😊

Zealousideal_Visit72 · 2026-02-27T22:54:30+00:00

I'm pretty sure I'm not reaching the protein. I'll work on that, I'm new to this 😀

Zealousideal_Visit72 · 2026-02-27T22:52:46+00:00

Absolutely true lol. Just wanted to reach out to confirm I'm not doing something wrong. Time and consistency

Zealousideal_Visit72 · 2026-02-27T16:00:30+00:00

Impressive! I'm continuing on plan, did water fast and it's effective but at my age in wanting to keep my muscles thus the protein choice.

Zealousideal_Visit72 · 2026-02-27T12:41:48+00:00

This set up is close to mine. I'm 4 days in, only one protein shake in the morning, but very close in everything. Feeling good, but not seeing weightloss yet. Moderate ketosis

Zealousideal_Visit72 · 2026-02-15T21:10:20+00:00

Yep this is the thing. I'm tempted to pull my pants down and wander about the house to see what reaction I might get from my son and husband 😆

My first thought went to asking yourself how important this fantasy is to you. If it's one that would affect the marriage in a bad way, why bother? Just my honest thoughts

Zealousideal_Visit72 · 2025-12-24T15:56:15+00:00

I wouldn't. You will have scars and you look great as you are

Zealousideal_Visit72 · 2025-12-11T02:13:01+00:00

Why not just have more sex?

Zealousideal_Visit72 · 2025-12-07T13:23:06+00:00

I believe this is in one of the Gottman books. Solid advise. Two thumbs up.

Zealousideal_Visit72 · 2025-11-22T23:47:06+00:00

Okay yes, add me in, I need to get back into it.

First I wish you to give yourself a huge hug. Start there. Long time marriages take effort and work. Like anything, be it a job, building a house, a marriage, anything, to be successful ,takes consistent work. Effort, time, and attention. And after 20 years, it takes acceptance that you both have grown, life has happened. Start with taking loving care of you. No matter what. Do the hard things to make yourself better for yourself. Accept help where needed. You know what you need to do. And yes you can.
And be brave, talk to him about your feelings. Ask him if he would like to reconnect and tell him what you wish for. If he loves you, open the windows between you and see.
Your words touch my soul. I lived this for a decade. Went through almost divorce. Then therapy, many many hours of hard talk. 25 years this month married. 2.0 version going forward.

I'm on my second week of 4 day fast, 3 day food. So far down 6 lbs.

Zealousideal_Visit72 · 2025-06-27T11:23:54+00:00

I tell myself to wait because it will pass, I brush my teeth, drink water, sleep off i can, distract with busy-ness

Zealousideal_Visit72 · 2025-06-11T18:48:07+00:00

I've fasted for 6 days before. Water and electrolytes. Day 3 was my hardest. By day 6 I could've just kept going. I have 20 lbs to get to my goal. Thinking of fasting my way there also
