Love Handles
According to Wikipedia ; “‘love handles’ is a colloquial or slang term for a layer of fat that is deposited around a person’s midsection, especially visible on the sides, which is believed to have some resemblance to handles.” Love handles are more common in men than women, as the midsection is one of the first regions where fat is stored in the male body (women tend to accumulate fat around the hips and thighs). Love handles generally become more pronounced as a person ages and approaches middle age. Basically, once it blows out of proportion, it becomes a sort of handles around one’s midsection which somehow suggest a place to grab on during love making. That’s why it’s been called that.
You get love handles from lack of exercise and fat-burning activities, excessive drinking and eating, and an over-comfortable lifestyle. Having these protruding layers of fat around your waist is a big eye sore in today’s “healthy and fit lifestyle” which views lean or ultra-muscular bodies as the state one should be or, at least, strive for. There had been exercises built to target these handles and turn them into washboard muscles. Have you ever tried them? There are also other quick solutions like lipo-suction for those who want an instant solution and have the money to spend. Here in the Philippines, slimming teas (mostly from China and hasn’t been certified by local food and drug authority) are also one of the many solutions to burn out these unsightly product of sedentary living.
Which ever way one chooses to remove the love handles in the body, it should always be put in mind that these extra-features we have are there for a reason. You had no discipline in what you get into your mouth; you hate doing simple exercises and move your fat ass off your couch; these and several other reasons are what produced the love handles. And these reasons are what you should focus on removing in order to permanently put a halt on the growth of love handles.
On the other hand, sometimes it is best to just ignore the fact that these love handles make you ugly. Learn to love them and start accessorizing those huge side bumpers of yours to show that you don’t care even if sexy people get more friends and admirers than you, or that they get more respect and authority for the way they look compared to you. “You’re beautiful no matter what they say”; as Christina Aguilera puts it. Dream on and let them go their way and yours your way. Then, after some years of being a total asshole, you begin to reflect on your life and ask; “where did I go wrong?” Oh yeah, it’s only love handles. Why am I over reacting
