Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I used to joke that I would rather gain a couple of inches of height rather than loose a few pounds. Well I just had a 'fact of life' reality check yesterday. At the doctor's appointment height is measured as a post menopause check (bone issues). I couldn't believe it when the nurse said 63 1/2 " . Like I lost an entire inch of height?!? So when I got home I double checked it for myself (hubby assisting). Its really 63 3/4 " , but that doesn't take the sting out of knowing that I was 64 1/2 " most of my adult life. Guess I can't avoid the aging routine, but it seems to be adding to my body image (and normal weight) challenges too - sigh. I'm trying not to get overly bummed out about this - really can't do anything about it anyway! So just processing it and letting it be what it 'is'. Only had a minor M & Ms attack last night while watching a movie - usual evening munchies stuff. That too will pass in a day I suspect, then I can get back on IE track and sally forth with an improved attitude ;-) Katcha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
