Extended breastfeeding WTF? Crazy weight loss options

ABC News Nightline is airing a story on "Extended Breastfeeding", meaning beyond two years old, up to 6 or 8 years old.

 Um..... I suppose I am not one to judge considering I've never had a child, therefore never having the the experience of breastfeeding a baby, but I have to say I think a four, five, six year old should not be breastfed. My opinion is this creates an over-dependence on the mother and possibly all kinds of issues later on in life, especially in marriage. 

*THIS IS MY LAYMAN'S OPINION, I HAVE NO EDUCATION NOR DO I CONSIDER MYSELF A DOCTOR OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, AT BEST A MIDNIGHT SURGEON, OR WHAT YOU MAY CALL A MICKEY MOUSE MIDWIFE... ONLY RELYING ON BASIC BIOLOGY KNOWLEDGE AND INSTINCT.

 I DON'T WANT TO OFFEND THE EXTENDED BREASTFEEDERS NOW, I HAVE ALREADY OFFENDED EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS APPARANTLY INSANE*

BOOM!

No nonsense here. 

Speaking of non-sane people, WTF is this new disgusting diet of a feeding tube through the nose, like a dying or very sick person, and a bag of feeding liquid in a Chanel purse. 

I watched a 20/20 on this, and these women who are a size 6 or 8 at best are going on this sick diet where they have a fucking tube up their nose, in one nostril, and a bag of this diet whateverthefuckliquid in their designer purses while shopping, MY no guff, fucking sick.

First of all you will lose a lot of weight really quickly, which means you will gain it back faster and most likely even more than before you decided to be a nutcase and put a feeding tube in your nose to be skinnier.

I watched a close family member die as a child with one of these tubes involved.

Do you think he would choose to live off this liquid?

No, he lived for food and wine and art, taste and sight, touch and all elements of life.

I do not understand how anyone could choose to live off this JUST TO BE SKINNIER, I really don't.

 (I obviously don't think this is right unless the person is so obese they can't even stand up, in which case it may be beneficial for someone who's life is dependant on losing 20-40 pounds to get out of bed and exercise.)

I just want to slap these idiots including the doctors behind this- who are fat by the way- don't think this fucked up diet is working for them.

I personally may be naturally a smaller size myself, maybe not like a zero or anything, like a six or a medium at the moment, but I spent most of my life being told I was too skinny and needed to eat, even though I did, a lot, and never wanted to be skinnier, ever. 

Throughout my life the largest I have been is a size 8.

But here in lies the problem; SO MANY WOMEN my size or two up are taking these extreme measures to lose 20 pounds, be a size four again and model for the first time since their 20's, Botox injections has filled all these 40 some women with the idea they can compete in the modelling field with the 22 year olds, just by filling their faces with crap and making themselves look like aliens instead of WOMEN.

Then there is also the women who have trouble gaining weight and curves and naturally SKINNY, and thats ok too, like I said I understand that, much more than I do wanting to lose weight, so maybe my opinion here isn't as valid, I really don't know.

I am all about nutrition and exercise in order to get in better shape, when you are eating better and getting some exercise you just FEEL BETTER.

So OBVS I am PRO-WOMAN, NATURAL WOMAN.

Having curves, having no curves, having a few lines and not fitting into the perfect size IS the ideal woman. 

We are beautiful to look at because we aren't perfect, perfect is boring. Simple.

So I am all about the WOMYN but the breastfeeding till 10 or whatever- fucking disgusting.

So my rant was really about this feeding tube diet, it is weird and desperate and I would liken it to any condition such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia. There is no way you can lose 20 or 30 pounds this way and keep your body healthy, nor can you stay healthy and or fit after you finish this. 

Whatever, it's gross but what can I do.

It's invented by a doctor. 

Some mad money hungry sick fuck.

So my new way to feel good and get in my activity:

My stationary exercise bike- with a twist.

I wanted to incorporate my entire body in a 30 minute session on the bike, so I did some research and when you use your arms, like you are running or punching, or just doing some dance moves, you get 3X the workout of the BIKE. Which is boring and hard to get in shape with.

Raise the roof in reps, maybe 20 or so to start, and continue with "running arms", rowing arms, and keep good straight posture and look to the ceiling when punching, don't fuck around, just GIVE 'ER!!!! It does seem insane, maybe I will get my hubs just to take pix of my crazy workout on the bike for you so you can try too... it makes me drip sweat from head to toe, and really feel good afterwards!!!!

Even if I look nuts punching the ceiling while wheeling on a workout bike.

(I will only post pics of me doing these weird workouts if specifically requested, it is kinda embarrassing for me, so I warned my husband but he was so into it, and said he wants to try it out himself. Lucky for me he encouraged the craziness.)

He saw my pain and sweat.

A mango and a chocolate milk is ideal after this CRAZY workout.

Well, I'd still say it's still more sane than this feeding tube craziness, or strange breastfeeding into the elementary school years, ughhhhh, GROSS!
