gardening, mostly.
I've been leery of posting this, but here goes any dang way....
I want to lose some serious weight - about 130 pounds. That will make me 220 AND still overweight by the BMI charts, and still fat in society's eyes, the ridiculous numbers that I am supposed to be (159-174) are fantasy land - I don't want to look like a xylophone and I do at 170, I've been there.
I want to be healthier than I am right now. I had some blood work done a couple of days ago...not so good. The cholesterol is low, the LDL is low, but the good cholesterol, the HDL is way low. I am on the very low end of pre-diabetic for fasting blood sugar!!!:shocked:
IF I carry on, I'm going to have problems down the road. I don't want that. I refuse.
I've learned a great deal about size acceptance here, and I thank everyone for graciously sharing knowledge and making me think.
I just feel like it's inappropriate for me to continue to be a contributing member here, I'm NOT accepting my own size, so how can I put forth anything useful here...I'm conflicted, so I'm doing what I normally do, shutting up now.
Thanks.
