As usual.<br /><br />I did lose about 20 pounds a couple of years ago because I ate mostly vegetables and limited carbohydrates, and I just ate LESS in general. And it was nice and I felt good... but I never did get "thin." I'm round and lumpy. And since it's hard to maintain, my weight is back up. <br /><br />But I found the same thing you did: after babies, with my "extra weight," I am actually healthier than I was when I was thin (and I WAS thin, too).<br /><br />-- SJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831804.post-23390714124496807792014-08-08T06:34:12.141-07:002014-08-08T06:34:12.141-07:00This is the most sensible post on weight I've ...This is the most sensible post on weight I've read.

And I'm starting to feel less guilty about it (still working on that part) because I've come to realize that the guilt is getting in teh way of simply ENJOYING the life God has given. So I needed to read this blog post as much as I just plain enjoyed it.<br /><br />Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831804.post-12254810518779409212014-08-04T11:01:33.725-07:002014-08-04T11:01:33.725-07:00Doggone it!

I have a long torso and ridiculously short legs, so I have been "overweight" in the technical sense for a number of years, despite having a body fat percentage which is in the healthy range. <br /><br />You are absolutely right about regular moderate exercise. If you are hurting yourself or can't sustain it, it is not much good. For what it's worth, I find that if I don't keep moving, my genetically defective knee joints bother me. That and my love for food keep me exercising even when I don't feel like it...<br /><br />Great post. Diary of an Autodidacthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849157548643091986noreply@blogger.com
