Thanks. Posting a pic I feel is an affirmation to myself that I'm going to do this.
And an opportunity to chronicle the progress. I plan to post more as I snap ones I like once I figure out hair & makeup. That has always been a mystery to me. I have always been afraid people would see any remaining crumbs after I take it off, so I never learned how. I never figured out hair because It always started to look feminine as it got longer, so I kept it short. I didn't want anyone questioning me.
Not on hrt.
yet.
The difference is just good ol exercise.
I've always had a somewhat androgynous build.
Just when I hit 40, I blew up to 194, I was about 170-something in the left photo in 2013.
Now I'm about 135-140. (5'10")
Walking, lots of walking. I got tired of driving and traffic, so I just parked the car and started walking places.
I also avoid HFCS, that stuff is franken-sugar. None of the other artificial sweeteners either, all toxic poison.
This is just an urban legend, but I think maybe cannabis does have an effect on hormones. I am an avid consumer. For a while. A much better option for me at least than alcohol is. And I live in a place that has legalized cannabis.
I don't medicate or "recreate" with anything else. Except maybe asprin.
PS: response. No, knew a few, great people, went on an adult field trip with them to a fusion lab once.
In 2003 I took a WAIS test and scored 99.8%ile.... Just a tenth of a point from qualifying for "999"....'super mensa' in a way, for the 99.9%ile. There are a couple other that go higher.
Curiously enough, my parents were very good friends with a member of '999' when I was a baby. Just a curiosity. The guy gave my mom a technical book to give to me.
And that "space-time and beyond" book, my mom dated one of the authors briefly, that where she got it. It's signed.
I grew up around intellectuals.
My dad worked at a PBS station.
added: another curiosity, I was born when Apollo 13 uttered the phrase. "Houston, we've had a problem." Almost to the minute, I checked nasa logs. I haven't been able to figure that one out, or anyone else.
Don't know how it relates to anything.
