"Frustrations" with paleo/primal page 31

Other gripe --

I really wish I'd measured myself when starting all this 7 months ago other than just weighing. I haven't lost more than 5 lbs in the last 2 months, but all of my pants are massively loose around hips, butt, and even my calves!

I want to KNOW and be able to brag in good solid inches....grrr.

Speaking of underwear, DO they make boxer shorts for women?

I'm probably not the right size yet to find any that would fit me properly, but I'll be in the market for some next year. Surely they make such objects. Also, sock garters. Please?

I've come across boxer shorts for women, but they were...weird.

And there are sock garters for ladies: Socks by Sock Dreams » Sock Garters
I want the spiked ones

Catty-
If the pants are woven, just measure the inside of them, anywhere they were tight.

Primal frustration of the day,

Have a lovely Freya bikini that I splurged on a few years ago for a mexico vacation - $95, bra cup sizes...it's awesome -
Tried it on this morning - aaaand the bottoms are falling off. Grrrrrr.

Speaking of underwear, DO they make boxer shorts for women?

Well theres like boy-short style womens underwear. Not quite the same, but theyre more full-coverage than other styles of underwear. I used to hate them when I was fatter, cause they looked effing ridiculous on me. Now that I have a tighter waist and firmer butt, they actually look like what theyre supposed to! So ive branched out. I only wear them for sleeping though, cause I only wear thongs under jeans and other pants (otherwise its wedgie-riffic all day).

A friend of mine in college wore actual mens boxer briefs as underwear or comfy shorts. There are some styles you can find that dont have the front-flap. You might try looking for those.

I gave them away to Habitat for Humanity over 5 months ago.

Oh, good. Here I was thinking this was yet another "OMG! I've only lost 27 pounds this month, and last month it was 35! WTH!!!" thread. Thank you for saving me from that.

My gripes?

1. My pants don't fit anymore so I have to get some new clothes.
2. I look better so I have no reason to have sex with the lights out and my power bill is going up.
3. I can't participate in the never-ending "I really shouldn't be eating this because it will go straight to my thighs!" conversations.
4. I hardly ever get to visit with my pharmacist anymore.
5. I have to explain to my doctor that there weren't any errors in my lab results. Those are the actual numbers for a 46-year-old woman that refuses to eat "heart healthy whole grains".

Really sucks.

HAHAHA i loved the one about the power bill going up!

Okay my frustration - 3 days with no MDA left me jonesing for a fix!

I have a "real" frustration too in that the Human Biology class I am taking (and must get an A in) this semester is FULL of CW about nutrition and diet - and we haven't even coverd either subject yet. The prof has already started on Sat Fat bad, whole grains good, meat bad... and I am bored out of my skull.

I get a lot of afternoon energy these days, but its raining so i cant go for a walk outside, but my energy is making me kind of hyperventilate so im walking laps around the office to the irritation of my coworkers who are in a post-lunch sugar crash daze.
