Body Language

Hell-o everyone, Here is my question for the night. I know that since I am no longer carrying 109 lbs of insulation I am cold all the time. So cold I can barely tolerate it. I found my self constantly standing with arms folded at my waist as if I was trying to keep myself warm even if I am not chilly. Do you understand? Am I hugging my new beautiful body? Am I am trying to hug the last 10 lbs of fat I have so it does not leave? Could I really be that cold? Do any of you find yourself doing the same? I think I am crazy. What is my body trying to say?

Hi Lori, 1) I'm always soooo cold now. I used to sweat on the coldest of days. now I'm the opposite. 2) I cross my arms a lot due to body image issues that have nothing to do with this surgery. I have been busty since I was 9 and its my way of hiding. Might you be trying to cover up too? Seek and ye shall find! Rachel

I find myself crossing my arms over my stomach and I finally decided it's because I'm trying to hide my stomach. After 112 lb loss I still have this roll around my middle that I hate. Eventually I'll probably be checking into ps, until then I'm a big wussy! And I've not noticed being so cold as not being so warm. Our weather here in Iowa has been around 70 and in the past I would have been getting warm by now. I'm still pretty comfortable in a sweatshirt and long pants. Can't wait to see how the 85 degree dog days of summer feel. My most relaxing feeling is to be laying in the sun with it beating down through me -- I can't wait to feel that kind of warmth again!
