Yesterday, my back started hurting. While I was trying to get comfortable in my office chair it dawned on me that my chair is too big for me now! A few years ago, my supervisor bought me and others new office chairs. We each were helped by a chair specialist and got chairs that "fit" us.
The arms on my chair are loose now because for years I was so big that my hips pushed on the chair arms. The chair is too deep for me now so it does not support my back, hence the back pain. I have extra space between me and the chair arms when I used to press against the arms.
Of course, I expected my clothes to get too big but never thought about my chair!
While I am sure that my supervisor will be glad to get me a new chair, I am want to wait until I think I am finished losing weight. A new smaller chair will help motivate me to maintain.
In the meantime, I need to adapt my chair. This morning I brought a small pillow to fit in the small of my back and it seems to work. Time will tell. I also am using 2 old thick books as footrests. I am going to buy a footrest and am will look at supports for backs too.
Who would have ever thought it? My chair is too big!!
My chair does not fit!
for every five pounds lost!
