Deep sigh!
I am a maintainer! Woo Hoo!
I workout, I can lift like a banshee for a woman, and I've got all kinds of muscle. I have the upper body of a D lineman!
Thing is, at my current weight, a whopping 137, from mid thigh, to upper waist, I still have FAT!
It jiggles!
Such as it is.
I know, that for me deep down, I could stand to lose 10 more pounds. Am I gonna do it? Probably not. It would be to tough to maintain.
I think the point is, most of us are very skewed, about what is really a healthy weight.
While I still have a bit of jiggle, I am 53, I've had kids, I have a certain body composition. My health numbers are good, I look good dressed! The girls, well, they always have been and will always be large and in charge.
I think what is most important, is we find a balance between being healthy, eating right, exercising on a regular basis and being happy and accepting the body the powers that be gave us.
