     I love permabulking stories. I was a permabulker myself at one point and I am fully convinced the reason I have problem fat areas–the lower back, love handles, and lower glute areas–is because I permabulked. Something about permabulking, I don’t KNOW, but believe it creates problems down the road, sometimes long term, difficult problems. I think it screws up skin tautness and makes dieting in the future problematic.

Noun
