Hee, I love your discussion of being thrown under the bus :)
"I'm not overweight. I'm undertall."
Hee, I love this! But I confess, I'm a bit worried about all this pressure you put on yourself to lose weight. I can understand the need/desire to be thinner, to look trimmer--last fall I not only put back on the weight I had lost toward the end of Canada, but I went up another pant size (sigh) and it frustrates me because I am trying to be as good as DB's diet restrictions, my responsibilities, income, and body will allow. And there's so much pressure to not just be fit, but to be really skinny. Not just the tall, size 0 models, but socially (nothing flattering like having your father tell you that your face looks fatter these days. Thanks dad. That makes me feel really good about my 30-something changing body).
But I'm also worried because you aren't eating that much--didn't yous say you were averaging about 1300 calories a day?--and you do all that walking/biking/skiing, weather permitting. The exercise is good for you--but it needs not calories and a balanced diet to go with it. I've always thought you looked great. And I think it's great if you want to make yourself healthier, fitter--but sometimes I wonder if you aren't pushing yourself too much, set your standards too high. Just make sure that you aren't losing weight at the expense of your health.
By the way, I sent you a message on Etsy but I don't know if it went through properly, but I'm back on-line again.
