As I'm about to turn 50, I'm finding things like my Double Chin that was not here last year. Everyone knows that I'm not opposed to plastic surgery but I'm on a boat, living the life. I want to try to do this naturally. But, if it doesn't work, I'll have to get a little Nip/Tuck.
But come on, what the hell is this?
I'm laughing as I write this because it's so gross. Nobody likes a double chin but is a common condition that occurs when a layer of fat forms below our chin. A double chin is often associated with weight gain, but I'm not fat and I have one. Of course genetics and looser skin from aging will cause a double chin. Great! Terrific! Now how can I get rid of this uninvited guest and look cute again, thank you very much? I did some research and found there are several exercises that will help me return back to my cute, adorable self with less of a blob under my chin. First I have to warm up my muscles I am instructed to move my lower jaw forward and backward and then side to side. This should be performed slowly and smoothly and should be repeated 8-10 times. Still laughing!
The Scoop
The next exercise will be the 'The Scoop'. I open my mouth, and roll my bottom lip over my lower teeth. I move myhead down in a scooping motion, and close my mouth while lifting my head. I am told to make sure that the corners of my lips are completely relaxed and to repeat this 5-7 times. This is so funny but I call feel the muscles getting tighter.
Touch The Nose A double chin can be reduced by strethening the hyoid muscles. I stick out my tongue as far as possible, and try to reach nose nose with the tip of my tongue. I keep my lips relaxed and repeat 5 times. I have a tiny tongue but I'm trying. Giggling!
Kiss A Tall Person
I imagine that I am kissing someone who is very tall. I lift my face up and look at the ceiling. I bring my lower jaw forward, and pucker the lips as if I am kissing my tall boyfriend. I hold the position for 5 to 8 seconds and repeat 5 times. I wonder if this is what I look like when I'm kissing. Funny!
Resistance
I make two fists and place them directly under my chin. Then I move my lower jaw down on my fists and strain the muscles and overcome the resistance. I hold for 3 seconds and relax then repeat 5-7 times. I can seriously feel this one working. Whoa!
Oval Face In order to have a younger looking face and pull my cheeks up I will turn my head to the left and pull my lower jaw forward, straining the muscles of my neck. I will feel the muscles on the left of my neck stretching. Then turn to the right repeat. This should be repeated 5 times on each side.
I hope this made you laugh as much as it made me. This was fun making this blog but I sure hope this works because I want to say goodbye to this wattle. It may be attractive to Richard Fish on Ally McBeal, but I'm not into it. Follow my journey Fifty and Fabulous! A Journey To A Spectacular 2nd Half
