My goose bumps have finally receded and I am gloriously warm. Ok...maybe it has gone a little too far. It hit 96 yesterday in my car. There is still a pleasant breeze though and I am sitting out on my shady patio with shorts and a tank top on looking at my wrinkly neck reflection in the screen.
Today's topics--Cold and wrinkles.
I have probably said this before but I have really felt cold this summer. This is a foreign thing for me. Always before I was the first girl in shorts and a tank top and the last out of them come October. I was sweaty with a constant sheen of liquid between my boobs. Promptly at 10 every night i would be so itchy and uncomfortable i would shuck the bra and hang around my family room all saggy. Last week I had goose bumps in temps even in the 70's. On the night of the fourth I had to layer on three t-shirts and a wool sweater plus two sweatshirts before I even put a dent in it.
At 96 yesterday I was comfortable in my tank top and shorts. When I got home that evening for the first time all summer I had boob sweat :)
alrighty..now onto the wrinkles. I am back down to 180 and have noticed a new crop of wrinkles. My chin is becoming positively crepe-y and I have a new arm fold just at my elbow. Im not sure I want to look 60 years old when I am still 46....Can you tell I am looking for excuses to hold onto the last 15 pounds? I just wish I could trust my mirror image eyes. I know I thought I looked good in the mirror at 300...I don't believe I do yet either. Along with my broken calorie intake thermostat I think my size-o-meter is broken too.
Living with a lapband after seeing goal is just as much work as getting there. This blog chronicles my journey to qualify for band surgery, my work to goal weight and now living with the band long term. Weight will always be an issue but there is a whole lot of living to be done.

I think you're way too hard on yourself! And, I'm waiting to be so skinny I get cold when it's in the 90's.
I agree with Tessierose... you are being way too hard on yourself. I have had just the opposite problem. I was cold for the first 55-60 years of my life... loved summer because I was warm during that time of the year. Now I'm hot all the time it seems. I can go out to the garden and pull weeds in 50 degree weather and inside of 15 minutes I am way past glowing to sweat dripping off my nose, ears, hair, etc. I swear that even my eyelids sweat. I'd say menopause if I hadn't had a hysterectomy 26 years ago...
Be happy that you are cold... you can always put on more clothes. I can only take off so much before I risk getting arrested.
