poll: scary realizations

[silverwhisper]

the other day, i weighed myself. it's something i do now and again. i was surprised to see that i lost about 10 lbs since the last time. i suspected something was up b/c my slacks were a lot roomier. generally, unexpected weight loss presages some kind of ailment or in some cases, a parasite. so naturally, my reaction to this unexpected news was one of concern.

however, since my risk of exposure to parasites is nil and i feel (otherwise) fine, i guess i just haven't been eating as much--and if you've ever seen me eat, that's really unusual.

still, it did make me concerned for a bit. has anybody else had a scary realization of late?

Yes. I'll have to ponder it awhile longer. Stay tuned.

I can loan you some weight if you want it. Would you prefer the fat to come from my ass or my tummy?

You didn't offer boobage fat?

My scary realization is that I can feel a difference in how my joints (knees and elbows, mostly) respond to exercise.

Scary Realizations?

Hmmm yes I had a scary realization! This is an ed poll but there are no poll options??? What's up?

I haven't had a recent scary realization.

I know it sounds kinda dumb, but halfway through my first pregnancy, I realized that I was going to have a BABY! Holy shit! I didn't know anything about caring for babies. Hell, I'd never even changed a diaper.

Fortunately, that moment of panic passed relatively quickly.

A lot of these have happened to me as of late. Just this evening upon getting out of the shower, I realized that I can see my formerly hidden collar bones.

there are NEVER poll options with ed's poles... which really makes them questions rather than poles.

i intend to beat him into submission with his own trout on this point.

as you may or may not know... i'm quite used to working with only an inch.

 

[phoenix1224]

yup. i gained most of those 10 lbs.

So have I... And then some.

Ever since I got over the flu, my appetite seems to be insatiable.

I remember this scary realization. The idea of it being a lifetime commitment scared the hell out of me.


My own scary realization has to do with my age. Turning 50 was fine--until I realized that my body was doing weird female things that I have no control over. The idea that I am getting older is very hard for me to accept, and I have to struggle to keep a positive outlook on the whole thing. It doesn't help that my list of physical complaints is growing ever longer. A lot of mornings, I feel every one of my 51 years, with a few more thrown in for good measure. Oh, and let's not forget the offers from AARP, and information on nursing home insurance that constantly show up in the mail.

It's kind of ironic that I fight the idea of getting older, but I love the fact that my children are grown and for the most part self-sufficient. And I can't wait to be a grandmother. And I guess you can't have it both ways, huh?

 

[silverwhisper]

EJ, that was beautiful. :>

Yup. It was a lot less scary after I'd done it once, though.

I loved being pregnant, but that was likely because even though three of my four pregnancies were high risk at some point, they were, overall, pretty easy pregnancies. I could be a surrogate in a heartbeat, as long as someone else was raising the baby.

I also loved being pregnant--I just thought it was so smart that my body knew how to do this.

 

[EJFan]

well... speaking purely for myself... i've never been happy being pregnant. but that's just me.

What is it you hated? The morning sickness or losing your girlish figure?

two words: lac. tation.

Judging from your av, I'd think you'd need one hell of an episiotomy!

OMG. Can I just say that made me cringe and cross my legs...

I feel compelled to add this:

At 56, my mom puts a lot of effort into staying young. She works out, refuses to allow the grays to show, won't retire, etc.

A few years ago when the AARP membership offers started showing up, she was a little shocked and insulted. Then she read the letter, and upon seeing she would get discounts with membership, she proudly declared herself a senior citizen.

ROFLMAO. I cringe at the thought of a woman getting an episiotomy. Something about it just ain't right.

true... but if you slip the OB a c-note, they'll often fix that thang up and make it like new.
