Liquid iron tastes exactly like licking a liver. So what? I know it’s horrible, but it’s also absorbed into your body faster, and for a Gastric By-Pass patient, liquid is better and if you’re a woman, you probably need it. I’m anemic. I get exhausted a lot and just fall asleep. Not a good quality. I’ve done it far less, since I’ve been absolutly strict about my nasty iron.
So, if leafy greens aren’t doing it, talk to your doctor about liquid Iron supplement. Now, if I just had a sure answer for the hypoglycemia. Gastric By-Pass complication that’s very normal.
Head2Toe Beauty is super fast in their shipping. I ordered my products on Tuesday and it’s Friday, same week. They were packaged well and the colors I ordered with no back stock. I’m thrilled.
It’s, “Fitness Friday,” and a new feature, “Fashion Friday.”
What does this mean? I need a pair of leggings. Yes, I know, I was part of the first wave, but honestly? I was too fat to look good in them, 320lbs, in case you missed it, and I’m not now. A good pair of leggings would work for me under short dresses (not pretty legs) and with tall boots and a man’s oversize shirt that’s belted with a wide belt. They look cute with flat red boots.
I suggest them for lots of things. Just please note, this is NOT the 80’s! Do not tease your bangs out and try to look like members of glam-rock bands. Just do it with your style. Own one pair, buy them on the cheap, but please make sure they are not practically transparent.
Go look through your closet. Go! I’ll wait. There, I bet you can wear them with several things you own. I picked up a short skirt at the thrift store that would look great with leggings instead of tights.
Leggings rules: they are not meant to be worn as pants. Pair them with something longish, a long sweater, short skirt, longer shirt. Don’t tuck anything into them. A good pair should hold you, but not cutoff your circulation. If your thighs look like cottage cheese in them, no leggings for you. Tuck them into boots, but make the rest of the outfit conservative if your boots have heels that go on for days. Don’t wear them if you feel so self conscious you can’t cope. Above all, don’t wear them to work, unless you are in a creative field. Writing, Public Relations…fashion etc. and some Public Relations firms are downright dowdy, so not those.
So, go out and buy some leggings, or make them! There’s a pattern you can download here: Burda Style . It’s $2.00, but worth it. You can also visit my favorite sewing princess on YouTube, GiannyL. She’s very creative and nothing is hard. Use good fabric for these, with nice stretch, but nothing that glitters, or shines. Again, too 80’s. This is one of the few comebacks I can deal with. It looks good on most people and works at all ages, if done properly.
