 Have you seen the Valerie Bernadelli commercial or People Cover? She is 48 years old and a mommy and looks like a Playboy model. Now, not everyone is her and can afford Jenny, and a personal chef and trainer. BUT if you really want to lose the weight, it is called "ganas" in Spanish. It means "the desire"....do you really want to leave the Dr. Phil Show behind and go to the gym, and get on the Treadmill for an hour? Do you really want to give up the rich desserts and the McDonald's treats 4 times a week? I had someone who was once special, and she gained 40 pounds after the pregnancy. I am going to sound like a real jack*** here, but the bottom line fact was, as much as I loved her, the desire just wasnt there anymore. She really couldnt turn me on, and this affected our relationship DRAMATICALLY, especially when I would see my friend's and relative's spouses hitting the gym after 2-3 kids and maintaining the body of a 22 year old. Their hubbies were NOT complaining, and they had great relationships. It sounds superficial and hateful, but taking care of our bodies REGARDLESS of jobs, kids and pregnancies is flat out RESPECTFUL of ourselves and our spouses/signifigant others. She would often complain when I spent a lot of time at the gym. So I stopped going, put on weight, and guess what? The little snide comments about my additional weight started right away. I flat out feel better when I weigh a certain amount and fit into certain favorite jeans. It makes me feel sexier, and more outgoing, interested in life. I happened to run into an old friend from 20 years ago, high school, and her body was still the same as then. Guess what? She defintley triggered me sexually. Get yourself a gym membership and an even once every pay period personal trainer, Eat healthier, your sex life will thank you for it.
