Things That Hurt Again
I was just out walking around in the grocery store when it occurred to me there are so many parts of me that hurt now that didn’t just 25 lbs ago.
My foot — I have myself a stress fracture WALKING for exercise a couple of summers ago. When I had the 25 lbs off this past summer, the foot didn’t bother me at all.
My back — my lower back aches constantly now, probably from having to support my gut. Sheesh.
My knees — this is the biggest one. My knees “click”, loudly, whenever I get up from a chair. They always seem to lock up tight, sort of freeze into position, whenever I’m sitting in one position for more than a minute. This completely went away when I lost the 25 lbs.
“They” say that losing just 10% of your body weight makes a huge difference in the way you feel. I’m living proof.
Can’t wait to get back to that place!

For me it’s my feet alone.
I gained a lot of weight really quick, 60 lbs in 2 years.
And my poor little size 6 feet can’t handle it.
Kinda ironic how that kind of stuff makes it hard to exercise,
but yet we have to exercise to get rid of the pains.
