Body Changes
If I have to keep buying different sized bras I will be able to open my own shop. I had to retake my measurements the other day in preparation for a runway show I will be participating in next month and realized that my chest measurements have changed considerably, again. So I broke out the bra calculator and viola I am in yet another hard to find weird ass size that of course is not the same as any of the sizes I've been previously so I can't find anything in the bra graveyard I keep in the closet. Sigh. I think I single handedly am keeping Fredrick's in business. :) What I don't understand is how I could have lost 2 inches off my underbust, none of the very little amount of exercise I do targets that area. And I've only lost 2 pounds but all my measurements are down by a couple of inches...bodies are weird. At least the weight loss has slowed down considerably. I no longer feel like the incredibly shrinking woman, lol. I think I'm maintaining now for the most part.
My body shape is changing and I'm not sure how I feel about it. From the time I remember getting measured so around 11 or so until last week I have always had a 10 inches (sometimes 11 but never less) difference between my waist and hips. Last week When I measured I had a 7 inch difference, I measured twice to be sure I wasn't reading the tape wrong. While I've never had a very defined waistline or wide hips I'm used to having a certain body, having to buy clothes a certain way, seeing myself in a particular light. It's funny how small changes can turn that on it's ear. In my case it caused a few minutes of panic because that is irrefutable proof that my kidneys are getting bigger. I recently had a visit with my nephrologist and he confirmed as much after a physical exam but there is something about looking at the numbers and having them come up differently than they ever have that really puts it in stark relief. I can't deny the changing shape of my body and so I can't deny it's cause. On the other hand after a bit of hyperventilating I started thinking about all the ways this could work for me. I can buy pants that might actually fit in both the waist and the butt for the first time in my life! woohoo!!!
I can experiment with cute somewhat low cut blousy tops and leggings cuz my butt is quite perky and so are my boobs so directing focus to either and away from the tummy works for me in some settings. Then I looked at my tummy, it's adorable, all gently rounded and soft. It kinda looks vulnerable and girlish. Maybe I should take up wearing bikini tops so it can get some time in the limelight.
