No, I'm not obese...I'm not even overweight. I am 5'3" tall and 123 lbs. heavy, with a Body Mass Index of 21.8. Seems normal, yes? Although I don't consider myself physically super fit, I reckon I'm pretty healthy for my age. I don't see the need for me to take any vitamin supplements of any kind. I simply eat sensibly and don't drink or smoke. And I don't really get sick...I hardly even catch the common cold.
Around 115 lbs. is right about where I want to be. A few extra pounds just doesn't feel quite good. I have always been on the skinny side. When I got married 16 years ago, I was about 105 lbs. When my first born was still a toddler, I got to as low as 100. Seriously, that didn't look good at all. Funny, I can recall my mom asking me then if I had a problem with my husband...LOL...
Every couple of years, I gain a few pounds, then I shed them off. It's just a cycle. Right now, it feels like I'm bloated or something. I guess it comes with age...when metabolism slows down. No matter how little you eat, you still manage to gain weight. I know I have to do something now or I will have a bigger concern come winter time (in June).
Anyhow, I'll let you know how my progress goes. A few weeks should do it.
In the meantime, let me just say there's a new bag in the works. Got to get back to sewing now...
