I'm confused (not really)

[butterflydreaming]

I renewed my driver's license this morning. I updated my address... .

...and my weight. I can't remember if, eight years ago, I put my weight at 175 as a joke, or because I figured that's what someone might guess it was, or because I really didn't know. I was more fit at the time than now, due to going for hours-long hikes almost daily, despite living on "un-cheese sandwiches" (you don't want to know) and Barque's root beer. Four years ago, I guess I just left it at 175.

I'm nowhere near 175. I was 169-176 at age 17, then I moved out, lost fat and put on muscle, and was around 190 if I remember right. I am now, as of the last time I was at the doctor's three weeks ago, 217 in clothes. I just bought a size 14 denim skirt. I'm pretty sure that I weight more now than last August, but I am fitting into smaller clothing sizes. I'm giving the numbers because it's something I can be "out" about, and because I'm so off the graph. I wish there was a graph for me, so I could have some kind of realistic comparison chart.

we should find a local event with someone doing guess your weight. i got to the point where i didn't bother unless i liked the prizes, since i always win. (i weigh much more than people think i do.)

[ironymaiden]

I just floored someone by telling her I'm turning 35.

Occasionally, guys will try to show off and pick me up. I worry about their backs.

yeah. sometimes i get frustrated about being unable to do side plank in yoga class without modifying. and then i realize that those skinny little girls who *can* do it could never hold up 200+ lbs on one arm. (i will. it's just a matter of practice.)

But I have to admit, I recently discovered an unplanned benefit to being a little slimmer. *ahem* I should take up yoga again. There's a studio almost next door.
