Day 615 - Weigh in

I was walking to group yesterday and I had to stop at a light and so I put my hand on my hip while I waited for the light to change and I found that I had a hard lump on my side.  I started to freak out a bit thinking that it was some kind of hard tumor, and so I am standing at the street corner probably looking really weird as I am feeling along my side.  I found that it had grown into my back as well and I was ready to write out my will.  Call TH tell him I had found a huge tumor and all, but then I put my other hand on my other hip and found the exact same tumor.  Then I realized it wasn't a tumor but my pelvis.

I haven't felt my bones in a very long time.  I suppose they were in there, but I forgot that most people can feel them.  It isn't something that I expected.  I really forgot - really - that you should be able to feel your bones.  That people can also probably feel their ribs, collar bone, well most any bone in there body.  But when you are as obese as I was, I never was able to feel them.  I forgot.  What a shock.  I can feel my bones.  (Okay to be honest I can't feel my ribs, but I felt my pelvis)  And I know that means that I have lost about all the weight I can around my hips.  So maybe next weight loss will be my stomach?  One can only hope that I will be able to feel my ribs by the time this is said and done.  On ward ho...

  1. Isn't it grand that we're not in Victorian times when the mention of "pelvis" would cause strong men to swoon & women to choke?

    Mondo funny - you are also going to have to get used to wearing tight fitting clothes (they're cut that way to make the men drool - and you are VERY "droolable" (and always have been).
