Then as I was getting dressed, I walked into the bathroom fully dressed below the waist and only wearing my bra above the waist. As I put on my deodorant, facing the mirror, I thought that I really looked fine. I could see more definition in my tummy, my waist was curving in like it should, and I could see a hint of collarbone. All very good. I wasn't going to sweat the small uptick, nor the potential of not getting below 200 lbs this week.
I turned to exit the bathroom and put on my top. That is when I saw it. The back fat! Oh MY!! It was just hanging back there. It was gross. I don't look at my back often, so I had no idea. Most of the time I am looking at my bum, while fully clothed obsessing about why it isn't improving with all of the exercise it is getting. (My therapy is concentrated on my gluts & thighs.) I can't remember the last time I looked at my back above the waist, and shirtless.
I've got a problem! I am going to try and turn this in to motivation. There is no way, I am putting a bathing suit on that!
Once you reach a healthy BMI, your back fat will be gone. You are doing great, but you aren't there, so of course your body isn't either. I like that you are going to use this as motivation. :)
ReplyDeleteI think last year was when I finally realized I had back fat. Yep, definitely a depressing discovery! LOL I'm sorry you were up, but 0.4 is really not a huge deal. It could be water, hormones, or a lack of sleep. You'll get to Onderland!
