Just got out of the shower a little bit ago and thought I'd share something here. No, not that you pervs!
My struggle is also with weight. My cystic fibrosis has screwed up my digestive system so badly that I have a very hard time keeping weight on. I have to take enzymes each time I eat to help digest my food. Have since I was, well since I was diagnosed as an infant in 1968. Anyway, I got really sick in Nov. '05 and ended up in the hospital (again) and had to have my gallbladder removed. I ended up losing about 40 lbs. and knew it would be damn near impossible to gain it back. Basically when I've got clothes on I look like I have the body of a skinny jr. high aged boy. Other than the no hair on top, mustache, goatee, hairy chest and well "Little IowaMan" you probably wouldn't guess I'll be 39 next week by looking at my body. I'm
VERY self conscious of it, always have been.
I've always worked to keep myself as physically fit as possible and back in "the day" I had a very good build. About the only fat on my body is between my ears.
I've been tracking my weight for the last year or so in hopes I can somehow get it back to where I was at and as of this morning I've put 25 lbs. back on. I'm pretty proud of myself given that it's gotten so damn tough for me to work out with my lungs failing so rapidly. The problem is that none of that weight seems to be going to my legs. My chest and torso look pretty good (very sexy according to one special Pixie) but I've got the legs of a damn stick figure. That's why I haven't posted any other pics of myself other than the one of "Little IowaMan" that was taken probably five years ago. Hell,I think he's even down a little in the girth dept. since I lost all that weight. Don't worry, he's hanging in there though.
Anyway, just wanted to put that out there. Looks like I've got about 15 lbs. to go and I'm hoping I can really start working my legs to get some of the weight there. Once I'm happy with that you ladies will get to see IowaMan in all his glory.................. maybe.
