X Post: Four years!

The Good: I still have a normal BMI (US size 4 to 6), my labs are great, my health is wonderful, I am very fit and happy.

The Bad: I still think I am fat. I have added muscle this year that did not change my clothes size but it did change my scale weight, which is hard for me. I understand that I am not “fat” because the weight increased a few pounds but well old habitats are hard to change. I am working on it. My BFF, a neuroscientist, has graciously offered to perform a lobotomy on me. That reminds me, I need to hide my knives when she comes over. HA!

The Ugly: Skin with no fat thus no structure is everywhere. My melting candle butt is not a pretty sight. My stomach is both muscular and skin flabby. It is a strange combination. I am scared to have plastic surgery. I don’t want to die. I have too much to live for now. We will see if the fifth year will include some nip and tucking.

I am living my life as a normal healthy size person. I really love this part of my life. Here is too many more years like this one. Now, where is my cowboy prince?

Happy surgiversary!
