I've lost some weight recently due to sticking to raw food completely. I know this is the least of worries and it's my body's way of telling me that I shouldn't be sitting on hard-surfaces for too long like that without getting up and moving around... it is a little annoying sometimes though...

I also feel like standing and exercising more. I heard a short anecdote of one fruitarian woman from Sweden who ate almost nothing but grapes, was full of energy the whole time and NEVER sat down... I'm not sure how true that is though.

Yes, it's one of the negatives of losing weight. You'll feel more uncomfortable on long flights as well.

I was involved in a car crash last Autumn and suffered chest injuries from the seat belt. Painful for weeks! It's because I had 'less padding' than the average!

Me giggles once again. It will be WONDERFUL when I can complain about a boney-butt one day again !! *LOL* =) I'll gladly take a pillow along. *grin*

This is common. I've known folks that have this problem to buy those little portable butt-pillows! Heh...heh. It's all good.

I too have a bony ass - here's what I do:

I have a 8+ hour a day office job. I bought one of those fitness balls (after 6 months of wanting to do it, but being too embarassed).

It's awesome because you're getting a work-out the whole time / you can't just relax on it, plus it forms to your butt. I seem to have a habit of bouncing around a lot on it - good for the abs! (Warning: it will hurt your back the first few days until you get used to sitting up straight),

And as for being embarrased - now 6 other people have fitness balls instead of chairs =)

Yeah....thats what happens when you get skinny....then after you get spanked...your ass hurts even more!

one of those things..get a pillow!! haha

CJJ - Do you watch The Office? [www.youtube.com]
The separate youtube clip was deleted, but the same one is included in that video, from 1:51 - 3:01.

I have noticed that once my weight drops below 110 (which it did well over a month ago) that I have to start using a thin pillow between my knees. I sleep on my side, and my knees have become so boney they hurt when resting on top of each other. Now that I've hit 100, I'm starting to feel pain in my hips just lying on my mattress. I guess a better quality mattress is something I need to consider buying soon.

Hmm...if youre starting to drop below 100, perhaps you need to eat more. Unless of course youre like 4 ft tall. ? I mean....you should be comfortable in your own body. Being healthy shouldnt make you oncomfortable.
Thoughts?

veganreikiangel- I am 5'5", I do have a low BMI but there's not a ton I can do right now about it. A lot of it dropped off due to illness, I lost about ten pounds (was 118 last summer) and then when I started eating raw I lost more, and I just had another flare up that lasted Wednesday night until late Thursday night, I've been lying in bed and I haven't had anything but water and a little bit of juice since Wednesday night which is why I've dropped another few pounds.

I have been reading that during detox you do lose quite a bit initially, often down to an "unhealthy" weight, and once you heal you gain some of it back. So I'm really hoping for that to happen. I'm trying to make sure I eat enough, drink enough, and I have been eating some fats as well, but my appetite has decreased significantly the past couple weeks- it's something I'm working on. I guess it's just a wait-and-see thing, because nothing I eat seems to help me gain, the weight has been coming off very slowly.

I have a flat ass anyways. I'm 5'5" and when I hit around 130 or lower I have to sit on my ankle because my butt bones can't handle a hard surface. :-(

Yeah...Ive heard that before. I hope you feel better and gain some weight soon!
Good luck with your detox! A friend of mine did an extended 9 month juice cleanse/fast/feast and initially lost weight too...then started to gain it back after a few months.

You aint had ass pain till you had anal abscesses.
I have had 6.
They require draining of the puss.
They are so painful that every nerve in your bod has been recruited to hurt,even your fingernails.

Thankfully Ive never had any anal abcesses, however I do have a delicate sphincter. Depending on what I eat, or how the water is where I am....it sometimes burns when I shower...when the water runs over it. Its very strange. I have experienced pain tho when trying to experience some anal *joys* as a gay man...but alas.
As for bony butt syndrome...you could try working out...build up the glutes!

There is a chair that has a fitness ball built into it....[www.amazon.com]

As it says in the Bible, "all parts of the body are important', but you never really appreciate that until you've had rear end problems.
