THE shawl that just happened

I'm more oblong-shaped, the weight is evenly distributed on top and bottom and not necessarily in a good way), some are inverted pears (heavier on top than on the bottom) as is a friend of mine who is heavy all over but moreso on top... then there are very thin people who can eat anything and everything and never gain an ounce. NOT FAIR, PEOPLE!!!! I *think* about food and gain 5 lbs. Oh well... it's life! ;o) LOL Gem, those are some wonderful descriptions and very true! I was one of the lucky ones who remained slim (apart from the pear shape) until I was actually in my late fifties. My husband is very polite and now refers to me as "well upholstered" - either he is being polite or has decided not to live THAT dangerously ;-) LOL I like that... that he "decided not to live THAT dangerously". My older sister (2nd of the family) and my brother (3rd) lucked out and got my Dad's metabolism which is why they were/are thin and can eat anything and everything. In fact my sister had a eating contest with one of my Uncles one Thanksgiving to see who could actually eat the most. Uncle Vic was *sure* he would win, considering he was a grown man and my sister was only 15 or 16 at the time and very tiny... he was wrong. They both had two heaping platefuls of food and he quit... my sister went back for some more mashed potatoes and gravy, then had a slice of pumpkin pie and a couple of Aunt Rose's cherry tarts with whipped cream topping. After his food settled in his stomach, Uncle Vic *bowed to the champion*. LOL My oldest sister and myself (the youngest) got my Mom's metabolism where we just think about food and gain weight... and have a heck of a time trying to lose it. My Mom and I would try to lose some weight, and she would get ticked off and say "Sure! Look where I'm losing it... off my breasts, where I don't WANT to lose it... but it won't come off my stomach!" I haven't been near a scales in over three years so I honestly don't know what I weigh now, but I *think* I have lost something... even if it's just inches from swimming all the time now that it's summer. My clothes are feeling a little looser lately, which I'm really liking a lot. Now if the weather continues to be nice throughout the summer, and if my Fibromyalgia doesn't flare up too often, so I can continue to swim 1 - 3 times a day (I did it 3 times on two of the hottest days of the summer, where you just sit and melt if you aren't in the pool)... by the end of summer I may need to get out my "thinner" clothes. I would LOVE for that to happen. ;o) *hugs* Gem |
