Year of the Bowel?

A promised update:
I've just completed two full years of adhering to WW principals. The first year was Year of the skeletal system, where I pretty much eliminated all knee and back pain. These had been plaguing me for years, but over the course of that year, they 'simply' went away.
The second year was Year of the prolapse because last year, my ability to manage my prolapse symptoms increased to such a degree that I was able to have more and more days where I was nearly symptom free, and I was also better able to manage my more uncomfortable days.
I'm cautiously optimistic that for my third year 2015 will be Year of the Bowel. Those of you with bowel issues will know how incredibly challenging this area can be- in general, but especially for prolapse. (I have primary rectocele as well as a likely urethrocele/cystocele).
Long story short, while I have no doubt that I was truly pulled up in posture, chest lifted, shoulders down not back, pulled up at top of crown, relaxed belly, etc, my belly didn't necessarily *look* like I was so pulled up. One of the big challenges for those of us who excelled at sucking in our tummies (I certainly did) is coming to embrace the relaxed, rounded belly. This is especially tough to do when, no matter how pulled up you are, that rounded belly starts from your belly button on down as it did mine- making me look extremely pregnant. But I've just recently starting seeing and feeling serious changes in my belly as well. For starters, just recently I've been able to get a better handle on the constipation issues that also plagued me for decades, without copious amounts of magnesium. (Though I still use as needed and am grateful to have it) I've been able to have reliable, mostly complete bm's every morning. This in turn has led to helping me feel much less symptomatic throughout the day. I'm quite sure that this is because after 2 full years of WW work, I have finally been able to consistently create room for my poor intestines to function more effectively. Those poor bowels that had spent so much time being crunched and squished. I can actually feel them move in my belly because they FINALLY have room to do so.
But what this has done for the appearance of my belly is simply lovely. Much of the time (still lots of room for improvement though) my belly is not only relaxed and rounded, but also *elongated*. The roundness doesn't start abruptly at my belly button anymore, but seems to extend all the way up my torso. It really is lovely. For fun, I stood in my underwear in front of a mirror recently and posed- in both my old posture and then WW. All I can say is--What in heaven's name was I thinking??? A sucked in tummy, flattened back, tucked bottom, and slouched?? Just yuck. WW? Strong, beautiful and proudly feminine.

Thank you Christine for another WW year. What a blessing you've provided us all.- gr8fl
