I was a distance runner till I took an arrow in the knee. Since then I have to eat like a Chihuahua or else hormones store every bite to my posterior. I'm 51 and could live a lean winter off my booty if I needed to. I might not look like a sex bomb anymore but at least I won't break a hip if I fall.
I wish some of mine would land on my booty. My love handles just swells larger and larger making my booty appear smaller and smaller. Ive got the kind of genes where I can’t eat a donut without a donut shaped blob appearing on my person. The only upside is I can get muscles but there generally coated in so much lard you wouldn’t know they’re there
I bow to your wonderfully honest, funny, and painful exploration of something that 40% of the population struggle with. Bravo for putting it forward so personally.
I hope that you have a supportive group to help you maintain the positive self-image that goes beyond your weight to your contributions as a human being. Just being here on substack and writing about this give you, I hope, an awareness of how your positive contributions.
Certainly Sandy! I appreciate your thoughtfulness and kind words. I don’t really feel too bad about it. Funny is formed in the fat. Plus I carry and stow away fat better than most. And as you say, it’s not everything is it, in fact, it’s not all that much. I do get frustrated occasionally, but who doesn’t
I’m in the roller coaster weight wave of my life. It’s been an interesting ride. Currently headed to the down ramp and excited for it but it’s a hell of a lot of work - daily workouts and lots of calories burned- and of course impossible to sustain long term unless it’s all that I do
Im hoping my roller coaster comes into the station soon. That’s awesome! Well done. I know how difficult it can be. Keep it up! I hope to be there soon, at a weight I can rollercoaster up and down safely from

Thank you for “Schrödinger’s fat”
Thanks Johnie. I was pleased with that one. Damn can’t believe I missed a an opportunity to justify an umlaut
"In all my years on running machines, going nowhere fast" beautiful

Thank you Sandy! 40% of the mass of my body is unnecessary
