When I first started running I was scared & self conscious because I was worried that everyone would judge me or wonder what is he trying to do? I finally decided that I am doing this for me & don't care what others think (I was really scared to run in tights during the daylight, but I got over that also)!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05664017577407668960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310603097959518489.post-43381574958918110832014-08-16T10:05:32.410-05:002014-08-16T10:05:32.410-05:00I LOVE this post!

I'm scared to death to buy a bikini, though Mr. K has been encouraging me to, just as you said, "to not give a shit." Not care what anyone else thinks, or at least not dwelling on it. I've been struggling with being "comfortable" in my own skin, but I'm getting better. You and I must be on the same thought wavelength this week! It's eerie :)AshleyK199https://www.blogger.com/profile/06014880203821943078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310603097959518489.post-87676314511369117552014-08-15T19:41:43.964-05:002014-08-15T19:41:43.964-05:00On my blog I sad women needed to be "more non...On my blog I sad women needed to be "more nonchalant" about what others think of their appearance, but "give less of a shit" works too. :)<br /><br />I think I'd like Tim.

Left unchanged, the unhealthy lab work was coming. But, damn, the younger body can deal with more.<br /><br />I'm in the opposite place: all my labs are bad. Hereditary bad cholesterol. Blood sugar and blood pressure that went bad when I had lost the weight and was think again. A fatty liver. <br /><br />A doctor who said "You're diet would have to be PERFECT EVERY BITE" to reverse things. Who the frak is perfect every bite? Not me. And this would be a Mediterranian diet with lots of fish. The spouse won't eat fish. <br /><br />I might as well give up right now... It was nice knowing you! <br /><br />So I do what I can and accept the outcome as what it is... less than perfect. <br />Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504185070473121551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310603097959518489.post-54543147873317598712014-08-01T14:55:18.409-05:002014-08-01T14:55:18.409-05:00Love you!!! xoxoLove you!!! xoxoMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004603944568074097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310603097959518489.post-38245064597725347452014-08-01T14:55:00.111-05:002014-08-01T14:55:00.111-05:00Awww, thanks!Awww, thanks!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004603944568074097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310603097959518489.post-88301192255284224252014-08-01T14:47:39.262-05:002014-08-01T14:47:39.262-05:00You 2 gals are both swell in my book.You 2 gals are both swell in my book.urnrghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813308060358755895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310603097959518489.post-68341072939475751912014-08-01T13:35:10.345-05:002014-08-01T13:35:10.345-05:00Mel- you know I big puffy heart you and I soooo ap...Mel- you know I big puffy heart you and I soooo appreciate your comment.

Like you, my blood work numbers are all completely within normal levels, my blood pressure was 114/72 when I had it checked recently, and so on. If my weight was included on a medical report, I'm sure most doctors would assume I was an active 50 year old at a normal weight. I'm not. I deluded myself for so many years thinking my weight didn't matter since all of my other numbers were great, but years of being morbidly obese are definitely taking their toll on my body, especially in my joints. Like you, I'm finally coming to the realization that being healthy is definitely about a lot more than my bloodwork results. Now I just need to take action and start working more earnestly toward getting well!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004603944568074097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310603097959518489.post-15764889726226203422014-07-15T12:11:16.201-05:002014-07-15T12:11:16.201-05:00I was wondering about the eating enough calories t...I was wondering about the eating enough calories thing, too.

Meetup.com helped me find my knitting group and I would not have made it without them. Friends are an important part of life, but having them close is sometimes hard. My bestest of best friends live in other states but we text all the time and that helps.
