I may be 34 but my skin thinks I'm 14 again

Like many women my age I thought for sure that my pimple days were well in my rear view mirror. Luckily, I had gone many, many years without the pain in the ass bumps that attack our faces, however, times they are a changing. I am not ignorant to the fact that hormones change, however I was really hoping for the "older women get hornier" ones, instead of the "Where's the Proactive?" kind.

What have my 34 year old, post 2 baby hormones decided to take on these days...Big F-ing pimples. What in the hell, body? And not just the sweet ones on your face but nasty vicious bastards inside of my nose, and yes the shit hurts. Without fail at the end of every cycle and right before the next one begins, these monsters appear. They are ridiculous, and even more why? M.I.L.F. acne is shit that I don't want to add into my daily worries.

And as coincidence strikes, while I write this bitch fest the brainiacs at Oil of Olay interrupt my Real Housewives to explain that I am not alone, and they have created a for sure cure all for my menacing issue. Thank you skin gods, but is it really a magic serum?

Skepticism hits a raw spot, since lately I have been overcome by many a cure all, and specifically about those concerning my next pending issue-my weight. As I stated earlier, I am a mom of two born in the last 3 years, and like most women my body took a hit. However, I have lost 50+ lbs since my 2nd baby was born, a feat that I hold with great pride. Furthermore I worked hard for these results by using diet and exercise. Unfortunately, this didn't happen overnight, in fact it has taken 18 months to get where I am. But too many women these days want to get these results in 6 weeks time, and the shit is ludicrous.

I admitted to my husband tonight and I'll put it out to the world now that I am envious of the ladies I know who have recently started intense diet pills and lost 15 lbs a week. It's like the Oil of Olays of weight loss-use this and all your woes are cured. Since I am sane, deep down I know that this is not realistic, because to change a body for life it takes time and permenant lifestyle changes. However on the flip side, like most I want to say "F*%@ this give me the pills!"

Cheers to my husband who once was the driving force to my 70 lb weight loss in college, which I kept off till my first babe baked in the oven, and who said tonight, "If you want it done right you must work hard." I may feel behind in the weight loss race now but speak to me come spring when I have nipped these pain in the ass pimples as well as the dimples still lingering on my ass.
