Who you callin' skinny?

October 4, 2003

>> Jac says : I can tell you, I look really thin at 140 (I'm 5'10)

Actually, people are starting to tell me I look ill. I'm not.

> Not meaning to offend you in any way, but I caught my breath when I

read this. I am 5'10 " also and am at 219, a size 16. I can't even

imagine being 140 at that height.

Well, I come in somewhere in the middle -- I hover around 155-160, at

5'10 " (what's with all these 5'10 " people??? Is it a club? If not,

maybe it should be?)...I've got a very low body fat ratio though,

because I work out with cardio and weights 4 times/week.

People tell me I look " tiny " . I don't see it, probably because I've

only been at this weight a bit less than a year, and I think it takes

more time than that for one's mind to catch up with one's body. I am

currently wearing (stops to inspect labels on clothing)...a pair of 6L

jeans, a size S shirt and pullover. Interestingly, it's almost as hard

to find stuff in 6L as it was to find nice things in size 24...but when

I do find it, I tend to like it a whole lot better! LOL

As for continuing to lose after the " window of opportunity " has closed

-- well, yeah. My weight went up about 10 pounds in the spring, and I

thought it was just natural rebound. A bit disappointing to me, as I

kinda liked where I'd been, but then I realised that if I upped my

protein and water and watched my carbs (not obsessively, just keeping

them under about 200 g./day), my weight fell back off again. I swear, I

was giddy with excitement when I realised that, for the very first time

in my life, I WAS IN CONTROL OF MY WEIGHT! instead of the other way

round. YEE-HAH!!!

Be well, all...
