What physical changes would we like to see?
I hope it is ok to start a thread and if this topic was covered already I am sorry. Please direct me to it and Jiffy, delete this one please. I don't want it to be redundant.
Something that Peachie mentioned, plus my always cursory look in the mirror, this morning, made me think of this. The bra thing always bugs me, but that has been something that I've learned to live with. What really amazes me these days is that:
1.I no longer have knees. Well, technically I do, I mean I can bend my legs and if need be I can kick something but what used to look like kneecaps now appear more like blobs of flesh.
2. The "shelf" things, you know, right below the waist. What the heck ARE those things and why are they there? I've always gained wt. pretty evenly and these bizarre looking things make me look like one of those women from the Napoleonic era, who had a normal looking front and back but whose hips were three feet wide! Of course, they had the (dubious) benefit of creating that look with wire hoops, I think.
3.The enormous arms. Like the contents of my bra, my arms have always been uncomfortably large, partly due to genetics (mom) and swimming. Now they are so huge that I look like a wrestler. I fear that when the wt. will drop the loose skin will force me into wearing long sleeves for the rest of my life.
4.The double chin. OK, so maybe I've been in denial all these years, but as long as my face looked the same and for some reason it did, I could live with not being able to recognize my body. Seeing my face change, though, is almost surreal, like an out of body (I wish) experience. Strangely, it was this last trauma that led to my recent resolution to do whatever it takes to reverse the ravages of time and find someone I actually know when I look in the mirror.
So it would be nice to see some positive changes in all these areas.
How about you?
