Haha Timarie your memory is awesome ! I near to solve the mystery of "the veiny hands", I think is related with PM mostly. (more noticeable during follicular phase ) but it is not very bad (like madonna or angelina´s hands ).
Thanks one more time for your help ! Now my bum is 36.5 in because I have been eating healthy lately and the first place where I lose weight is my butt and thights.
Ps: Congratulations on being accepted to that graduate program. You are closer to your dreams now. Australia sounds great ! (btw I like your signatures too )

Haha wow! I'd say my hands look a lot like Angelina's hands, but never thought much of it, because my hands are pretty tiny and skinny so of course, where else are the veins going to go?? I feel like, meatier hands don't have this problem. But that is just my subjective opinion.

I find what you wrote above to be very interesting because you used the word healthy. "Healthy" does not have to result in weight loss. In fact, it should be the other way around (unless you are excessively fat, then yes, "healthy" will make you lose that excessive fat)! So, I guess I just want to ask here: what is your definition of "healthy"? Once you define this for me--how you have been eating lately in comparison to how you were eating before--we can tackle the bum-loss dilemma "Healthy" is a diet that should maintain your muscle and a healthy amount of fat.

And thank you so much!! I really don't think I could be happier than I am right now

You are right: meatier hands don´t have the veins visible problem. I wish i had an extra layer of fat LoL.
Regarding your corcern first let me tell you, that I aware of the importance of protein intake (God preserve me from catabolic state ! ) It was so hard for me to won muscle on the butt and thight area, that every little muscle earn, I take it as a victory ( I feel like general Patton ).
So protein intake is under control, but when I eat less carbs always happens the same thing : very fast I lose 2 kilos in a week.
So I´ve returned to increase carbs intake again ( Is like my body always is trying to go back to my prior weight). Damn you, fast metabolism !
anyway when I wrote about heathy is has to do with this : http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/alkaline-foods-and-acid-foods-80-20-ratio.htm
