WindSparrow, I'm coming over to sit with you, because you said pretty much everything I think every single day. Everybody doesn't need to pat my hair or anything, I just think it's important to know that you're not the only one. (It makes it a little easier for me, somehow, thinking that I'm not the only one.)

I think we've gotta work on transplanting consciousness, because I'm so over this body and would like a new one.

I am not fat/overweight and healthy. However - my diabetes showed up when I was at my lowest weight and I was working out 4- 7 days a week. I was doing exactly what i was supposed to do . and my BP went high when my asthma showed up.sorry , but losing weight isn't going to help. possibly less medication , but never down to none again.

OTH, I am doing more healthy things for me than I ever could before. I broke the habit of eating an entire box of cookies or bag of potato chips at one sitting. and I can no longer claim the title "world's best couch potato". I may not exercise( as much as I need to) in the formal sense, but I get very restless after sitting for more than an hour. I have to get up and do something.

ION, there is a bootcamp starting next month not far from me. Friends are doing it. I am thinking about it.

I'm 5'7", 155 pounds, and usually a size 12, sometimes a 10, sometimes a 14. I can fit into Torrid's clothing most of the time, I know that. For me, it doesn't matter what weight I'm at, what matters is how often and well I'm exercising. No exercise equals a depressed and body image demon-ridden juliana.

Just filled out the online form at Salle Auriol asking to sign up for the September beginner class! Whee!

Yay, Susan!

...maybe it's Maybelline.

I got stung by a wasp last Thursday on one of my toes. It's still a little swollen, and the combination of ow, swelling, and did I mention ow? has kept me from running over the past few days. Today I biked around a lot (doable in sandals that don't rub my toe) which made me feel a lot better. I've found I kind of like running, and I miss it when I can't do it.

My running group's starting up again at the end of August, and I'm looking forward to getting back with them.

See, this is why I don't get sizing, because I weigh much more than that (how much more I find out tomorrow) and yet the sizing is about the same.

I'm 5'7", currently around 218 lbs., and wear a size 18. When I was 155, I wore a size 10. I'd like to get back down into the 12 to 14 range...but, see above. No pressure on myself this time around.

Yeah, What Megan Said. I'm about 20-30 lbs heavier than that, but the same size (minus an inch or so of height). Maybe I have lead-lined bones.

Hola, Bitches.

I'm feeling a little glum today. The empty apartment has finally gotten to me, combined with the dread of what the next month or two will bring. I have work in a few hours, so I'll just concentrate on that for a while.
