I have always been prone to overweight but nothing like now My usual adult weight at 5"5" was 140-150 pounds and size 10/12. Bad stress events and health troubles over the past 4 years and I am carrying 60 extra pounds and my clothes have X's instead of numbers. I feel miserable this way. I have moderate kidney failure and also have thyroid disease which complicates everything (shared it with Missy!!) I look at pictures of the way I used to look and thought I was fat then! Now I see that I looked GREAT! Sheesh! I was actually rather normal and nice looking. I just did not know it. Thankfully, hubby still thinks I look like a Rueben painting and I figure God times loss of eyesight at just the correct age
Anyway, I am going to Curves (a woman only workout place three times a week), but BAD about eating too many sweets
Yes, I used to get hit on before and that doesn't happen anymore and there is a chance I have uglied myself up in an attempt to keep such unwanted advances away. I was also accused of being flirty - which I never was.
I recently bought some new clothes to replace to ever present baggy sweats and scrubs, but I sure would like to grab things off the racks again or just slip into anything out of my closet!!
