Bahamas.I hope no offense is taken, because none was surely

intended. I am a practicing vegetarian of 15 years, and yes , a much

healthier person as a result.

I lost my breasts and my husband

Something great is happening in our country, and it is not the

economy, tourism, or the development on Paradise Island. It is the

dramatic change thousands of women are making in their lives. They

are shedding hundreds of pounds of fat, exercising more, and eating

much healthier diets. They are moving far ahead of the men in

healthy living.

 

Many of them have stopped eating red meat or have become

vegetarians. It is even more exciting to see that some women who

have been grossly overweight all of their lives, whose friends or

family members believed they would never lose the weight, are now

beautifully slim. Some of them have lost up to 103 pounds. This

poundage lost is having a domino effect amongst women today. When an

obese woman sees her obese friend lose the enormous weight, it

motivates her to do the same. So all over Nassau and Grand Bahama,

women are reducing their dress sizes from 26 to 2 or 5xl, 6xl, 7xl,

8xl to sizes 4, 5 and 6. It is remarkable and it is good for the

health system of the country. It is now a fact that the next time

you see your old girlfriend, you might have the shock of your life.

 

 

THE BREAST FACTOR

 

Are men ready for this change? Of course, many men have been

encouraging their female partners to lose the weight. Some have even

assisted them in the process by exercising with them. However, not

all men are prepared for the dramatic body changes that take place

during weight loss.

 

Many of these women have not only lost their enormous weight but

have also lost their breasts in the process. Well, that is not

exactly true. They do have breasts, but they are smaller than they

have ever been since puberty and are greatly sagging. One woman said

that her breasts were smaller than they were years ago when her

weight had been even less. What is wrong with that? Absolutely

nothing is wrong with it. Some men however, who depended so much on

the nightly " soft pillows " have become unreasonably bewildered and

troubled and are offering very little support to their wives. In

fact, some men who miss the large pillows which they thought were

beautiful, and from which they were sexually aroused, are saying to

their wives, " Was it worth it? " What stupidity! How ridiculous and

insensitive.

 

 

THE HEALTH FACTOR

 

Many men and, surprisingly, most women are not aware that the

breasts have no muscles, only ligaments. They are mostly made of

fat, mammary glands (milk producing organs) and blood vessels. The

more fat there is, the greater the risk for breast cancer and other

life-threatening diseases. One medical report states " that there is

a higher risk of breast cancer among women who ate foods rich in

animal fat such as red meat, cheese, ice cream and butter during

their 20s, 30s and 40s. " Where is the fat stored in women? The fat

is stored around their hips and in their breasts. For men fat is

easily stored around the waistline. Science tells us the larger the

waist, the greater the risk of heart problems. It is similar with

breast size.

 

Since there are no muscles in the breast, a woman's breasts will sag

from the increased weight unless well supported by a good-fitting

bra. Unfortunately, some women cannot find at good-fitting bra

because their breasts are too large. Once the ligaments are

stretched from the immense weight, they will never return to their

original size. While many men were proud of their partners' " soft

pillows, " they should be aware that they were more of a death trap.

Hence, husbands should be blessed and pleased with the smaller

breasts, sagging and all. Just think about it, men, all along while

you were tickled, sexually aroused, and fascinated by your partner's

tender, large breasts, you were actually being thrilled over a

serious life-threatening physical condition or a time bomb. So be

proud of your wife's sagging, small breasts. She is going to live

longer, healthier, and wiser.

 

 

THE WEIGHT FACTOR

 

The Bahamian tradition is that if you look a little fat you are

healthy. We make this known by the phrase, " Wow, I can see she has a

healthy appetite, " referring to the person's size. What irony! How

would eating lots of food, and especially fatty foods, be considered

healthy? How could largeness determine the health of a person? Many

women have grown to accept their enormous weight over the years

because they have found it difficulty to shed the pounds.

 

Most of them were not aware of the great health risks. Many of them

were turned off by the " skinny women " and were taught that " skinny "

was unhealthy, and " fat " was okay. Now they are learning the

opposite. Skinny women live longer and healthier.

 

Some women have been carrying around 50-pound breasts for decades,

thus creating one-inch grooves in their shoulders, hurting the

backs, and having difficulty bending over. They are tired of

carrying around the weight. They smile and sometimes laugh, but deep

down inside there is an enormous emotional and physical pain. They

are not happy with their body size. One of the quickest ways of

helping these women lose the weight is for their husbands to provide

unconditional love and support.

 

SMALLER BREASTS AND HIPS ARE IN

 

Small breasts are in, men. Enjoy them. Smaller hips are becoming the

beauty amongst black women. Enjoy them. Men, never make negative

remarks about your partner's size. Be proud of her flat chest,

stretched skin, and disappearing hips. Remember, based on her

enormous deadly size before, she is now a walking health exhibit.

Perhaps, you need to start doing the same. Many of these women are

having a great increase in energy and self-esteem.

 

We do know that exercise will not help in making the breast firmer,

because breasts have no muscles. However, there are things a woman

can do to help her breast look less sagging (if that's her desire).

She can choose a properly fitted bra, have plastic surgery, or take

lots of cold showers. Remember women, it really does not matter if

your breasts remain sagging or not, that does not affect your

longevity. However, huge breasts threaten longevity. Great amounts

of fat are a serious health hazard. Therefore, do not allow your

breasts to be a depository for this deadly weapon. Be proud of your

sagging breasts because they are trophies of your determination to

be healthy, wise, and happy. Men, hold on to your wife tonight,

sagging breasts and all. She needs you. God bless the sagging

breasts.
