It is true that some thing are always out of our control. Maybe I am just now realizing that fact. Maybe control is an illusion and I am at the whim of my emotional state.Karen Butler Oglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467675086434536522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892013098261033589.post-47334788601893956792012-03-22T11:57:08.917-05:002012-03-22T11:57:08.917-05:00The body can be so frustrating!!

We&#...I agree with you about the size 12 vs size 4. We've been so brainwashed by the media to think 4 is normal. The human species would not have survived if that were true. <br /><br />Our ancient ancestors knew better! Ancient (paleo) males looked for robust females with rounder hips etc because they would be more likely to bear healthy children. So none of us would be here if our ancient grandmothers had been size 4s! <br /><br />I remember when I was a girl (before Twiggy) and the fashion industry used what was called a "perfect size 9" as their standard for department store models. I was one when I was a teenager. Many of the larger department stores had a girl (like me) who walked around the ladies department in size 9 outfits all day long showing them off to potential customers. I have to add that sizing has changed too. A size 9 from back in the day would probably be comparable to a 6 or 7 now. <br /><br />Anyway instead of shooting for some "ideal" I wish girls would just be taught how to be healthy, i.e. find their own ideal body weight while eating healthy foods. Just my 2cents :) SueGrannyMumantooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567330590663276575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892013098261033589.post-44334959128248750462012-03-22T11:18:40.256-05:002012-03-22T11:18:40.256-05:00I'm a fat lady who sings.
I do think the form...I'm a fat lady who sings.<br /><br />I do think the former obese will find it harder to maintain a lower weight than a never fat. Studies seem to bear this out. And we have to be more vigilant...sigh.<br /><br />As we get older, some extra fat is protective. But what is "some"? I doubt it's 50 more. Probably 10 to 20 more, tops. I'll let the scientists and insurance statistitians figure it out. :D<br /><br />Happy thursday, and as long as we keep at it, we find the way...we learn...we accept..we grow...it's a process.Princess Dieter aka Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121450857817115011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892013098261033589.post-38792520210037927982012-03-22T10:21:08.671-05:002012-03-22T10:21:08.671-05:00You're showing your age; now they say "It...You're showing your age; now they say "It's not over til the fat lady busts a rap."Cole Walter Mellonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14792991151019418800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892013098261033589.post-86409333188562851472012-03-22T10:19:46.818-05:002012-03-22T10:19:46.818-05:00Good post Anne, I think since this is a forever jo...Good post Anne, I think since this is a forever journey things do change as time goes on and as things are going on in our lives too.

I am coming around to the realization that if you have put in the effort to get to a healthy weight and your body says, "Too low, too low!" then maybe it is right. As long as weight, BMI, and lab results are within healthy parameters. I don't know.
