The changing shape of fat

20 years ago

It is so amazing to me that my fat stores (haha good word don't cha think) keep assuming a different shape as my fat loss takes place....My true concern above being fat period was that I had this "big belly"...It started right under my boobs and ended up in the nether regions somewhere below...I mean I couldn't even see that far away and I wasn't about to look in the mirror...Anyway ...as the weeks progess and my pounds lost increases the blob that was my belly keeps changing...I actually have a waist now...granted it is still to big but the indentation is there...It was 44 inches around and now it is 37...or it's 37 and 1/2 but in and around losing all those inches, by belly has changed shape so many times...right now I have this little pooch mostly in the middle and just above my actual waistline...It's funny looking...and sometimes the fat seems or appears to be more one sided either left or right side etc...I hate all this fat and it is such fun watching it go away...

LOL!!! You are too funny Ruthie:) My belly fat is not going away so fast, I have lost most of my weight in my calves that were not so big to start and my thighs are very small now. Which is good but if I could get rid of belly fat I think I could wear a size smaller! My waist is a lot smaller but my pouch will not go away

Icedragonlady, This is normal. Many of mine changed during the winter months indoors. Likely they will shed as you bring them out. Remind your friend that they should slowly expose the plant to direct sunlight until they acclimate. Ed

Roses That Change Color and Shape
Q

Weather - how hot, how cold, how sunny or cloudy, how humid or dry, how windy or not, whether or not it is rainy - roses can think of all KINDS of excuses to have different shaped, different sized, different colored, or even large differences in petal count blooms. Many roses do it - most old roses do it more (one of the things rose hybridizers in the 19th century were trying to achieve was "stable" color - I am personally glad that they did not succeed completely). Old tea roses do it so much that you do wonder sometimes if they have thrown up a sport, or are just teasing. I have a tea rose, Anna Olivier, whose blooms are normally a buff color with brick red shading on the reverse. However, I have seen my bush put out all white roses, all pale pink roses, and all pale yellow roses. It is one of the things I love about tea roses. Jackie

This is 100% from not enough light. Not enough light will cause succulents to loose their pretty color, leaves will get weak. Plus other problems. If you do start giving more light. Slowly is the way to go because it will burn:).

Would you change floor color and/or window trims?(both in great shape)
Q
Comments (6)
I would paint the window casing white, as well as all the trim. As for the floor, changing the color is not so simple.You would have to have the floor sanded down to the bare wood, stained and coated to change the color. It is definitely possible and if it were me, I would be willing to do that to get a less orange looking stain. Good luck!
