May. 6th, 2004 02:36 pmI naturally suspect "have you lost weight?" comments to indicate ulterior motives. Especially when they come from Promisekeeper-types who think us dumb women require such flattery. Enough objective observers have initiated the topic of "[disclaimer that it doesn't bother them, even thought they brought it up]. are you unhappy in part due to your weight?" enough times that I'm not fooled into thinking I'm even of average, unremarkable size, which is still between where I am now and where health officials think I should be.
I should take my measurements more often. I've dismissed the loosening fit of my pants as natural wearing out. Nonetheless, I'm reaching the point buying a belt is cheaper than buying a new wardrobe. (Where can I get decent belts?)
So, now I'm wondering. I haven't weighed myself in weeks. I haven't been to the club since, er, before the ramble, mostly due to Severe Chafing Issues. (Barring doing arm stuff at the office gym, but I carefully stop that before I break a sweat.) I'm not sure I'm smaller than I was then, although I'm definitely smaller than I was in, say, the fall. Not enough that lack of weight loss couldn't be explained by a slight increase in muscle mass.
Next cleaning mission is definitely sorting through clothing. I'm not sure if I've saved anything from my previous (smaller) pantsize. But now I'm curious.
It would be nice to think I'm managing to lose even a wee bit of weight, without any dramatic changes. Then I might be less cynical about giving those dramatic changes a try; a pantsize would be nice, but enough pantsizes to get me entirely out of the plus size ghetto (or off my family's "next cardiac patient?" list) would be even nicer.
