I've spanned a weight range of 6 stone during my adult life (and have hit both the top and bottom of that range at least twice) and it is amazing how 'relative' our perception of being at different numbers is.<br /><br />Good luck with getting back into your exercise groove - it will start to feel great again soon!ursushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837750442106773571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741675109129288395.post-20236735930267788962011-05-23T20:33:00.780+01:002011-05-23T20:33:00.780+01:00So true and I think to some extent we will never b...So true and I think to some extent we will never be happy with how we look (and I mean "we" as in everyone)- that thing about the running belt is so true- mine does not look flattering on me at all, but it is the comfiest way to carry water, and if I loosen it to look better, it bangs about all over the place. So my marathon pics will not be flattering but I will be hydrated! Yes- the glass is half full so be happy with how strong/ fit/ healthy etc you are.<br />And thanks for the safety pins thing- had not thought of thatMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07364823282004341052noreply@blogger.com
