Being slim is definitely seen as a quality by some men indicating that a woman is more healthier, when really it can be the exact opposite. There are beautiful women who have calves like a speed-skater, like a DANCER, like a ballerina who could crush and crack the stage beneath her through the bottom of her slippers with elegance and are skinny. Within my range of experience, just very recently a few years ago I was caught in these moods and health problems that took a toll on my happiness, left a scar for quite some time. Throughout childhood I was as energetic as a child can be, I could drink a river and eat all the berries from the bush without feeling hungry. Now, being a sinewy woman with an old soul I can barely handle the symptoms of lower blood circulation, I feel very faint if I stand either quickly or normally to the point I want to rest on the floor. I try to make up my lost energy by eating more meat, walking when the atmosphere does not want to broil me alive, and more habichuelas, more fiber, give me the corn, broccoli, and legumes! Aside from my current body weight, I wouldn't mind putting on 30 pounds and not having a flat chest, but I only say that because currently being skinny doesn't work wonders for me.
My Honduran mother cannot stop cooking beans every chance she gets! My grandmother loves cooking these easy tortillas de arina, so simple it's so wholesome. I have been thinking of doing 30 minutes of yoga everyday, I used to watch those tutorials by the channel, 'Blogilates', a year ago, didn't work out since waking up every morning was like seeing if I was dead or alive, though not so tragic the way I put it! I've only been 24 days on estradiol, 2mg everyday was recommended. When showering I feel like I'm carrying a traveler's backpack, that's when my symptoms enhance tremendously even with the window open and letting the water steam escape the bathroom. I hope it ends soon, I've been eating much better after 1-2 years of being 'vegetarian', which was more of me not wanting to eat anything out of being depressed. The better I feel each day I live from the small things [ like that song ] the more I love myself. In all, thank you for commenting, I really enjoyed reading yours and appreciated the good you called me!
