Part of my recent self-reflection included reviewing my weight measurements from the past five years of doctor visits. I actually weigh the same today as I did when I retired 2-1/2 years ago. It is highly aggravating when certain pants won’t zip or some bras are a little tighter than usual. My body proportions have shifted due to menopause, not packing on the pounds. Time to show myself some grace.
Yes, I will feel much better when I lose those 15 pounds to weigh what I did pre-COVID (plus a few more), but this data dig has made me a lot more accepting of my current body shape. My plan is to invest in a few new pieces to dress the body I have and update my wardrobe when needed as we go along.
It’s taken about 10 days to adjust to my revised BP meds. I also updated my multivitamin and supplements as recommended. I feel better and my energy is back. The self-reflection, along with the tweaked meds, did my body good. I finally feel like myself again. It’s been a while.
