Oct 28, 2011 - Sophie’s Choice Of Slimming Down
Marsha Maung
I believe this is something most women out there are struggling with with age – rounder (sagging) bottoms. You can defy it with every single cell in your body. You can use the law of attraction to attract a firm albeit older bottom but it is going to hit you sooner and later. What is worse is that it doesn’t just happen to women who have given birth or women who are rounder overall. It is just in our genes that our butts will sag. A sad fact of life.
So, what do women do when they have to face the harsh truth? They go on intense ‘secret formula’ diets and work their butts off. No pun intended.
But there is a catch here and it is this – it is called the Sophie’s Choice of vanity whereby you have to choose between two things…your butt or your face. For most people, when you diet, the first anatomy in your body to show signs of weight loss is…no, not your butt (dream on)…your face. You can hit the diet button by running at the hills, eat like a hamster, drink plenty of water to keep the feeling of being full and yoga yourself to death, go ahead. But when you look in the mirror, day by day, your cheeks will sink, your cheekbones will start sticking out, your skin may even appear darker and eyes more sunken and bulging, depending on your facial features, obviously.
The concept is butt shrink, face shrink. Terrible.
This is common for everyone, so don’t feel too bad about it. Except for a few lucky ones out there (we hate you!!), most of us have to make the difficult choice between these two. God should have been fairer because men, apparently, do not have the same problem. They can slim any anatomy on their bodies and their faces will look pretty much the same, it seems.
For many women, a study reveals, they picked their faces and left their butts to the maniacal torture of nature and life. The thinking is this – you can hide your behind in a pair of baggy jeans but you can’t walk around with a veil over your face. And in case you are thinking of ‘make-up’ as a solution, here’s the thing, make-up ages people as well if not applied properly. There is nothing like jarring red lipstick when it comes to prematurely aging someone’s face. And heavy Kohl-lined eyes. Ugh.
At the end of the day, the target should not be to slim down quickly or look young instantly. According to modern research, women are better off trying to live healthily, keeping a positive attitude, and have good mental and spiritual health. That would be their gateway to better life and self-image. And surprisingly, when the focus is taken away from trying to be slim or chasing after a younger-looking face, you automatically loose a few kilos and look younger than you really are. Ironic, I know.
Life should be simpler.
