At that awkward stage
My fat has always been very evenly distributed. I have an hourglass figure, just has been a very full hourglass for 20 years. And thankfully, has been coming off pretty evenly as well. Until now.
I had surgery a few weeks ago and so had to limit my exercise a bit. To me, I was looking flabby and just blamed it on the activity change. I hadn't said anything about how I was feeling about my body, but beau piped up yesterday to say he noticed my waist was getting smaller. And what do you know, he was right! Down an inch since last measured and now in a new pants size.
But the smaller waist has made visible a roll/fat pouch above the waistline that wasn't apparent before. Same thing with back fat. I was always just solid, but now some roll below the bra strap (band size on bra down 8 inches since I started).
I know this too shall pass, but I really didn't expect to be bummed out on the day I reached size 16 (started out tight 24).
