Like I&#8217;ve said on a number of occasions, I don&#8217;t have a problem with big, I have a problem with unhappy.  If you&#8217;re unhappy, fix that, and if you&#8217;re unhappy because of the fat or the fat&#8217;s side effects, work on that.  So, anyhow, I was a pretty big girl.  Of course, one day my skin didn&#8217;t suddenly split open spilling my innards and fat onto the floor, I streeeetched my skin out with fat over years and years.  Then, for good measure, I got pregnant.  Twice, while, I might add, weighing at or over 300 pounds.  I really thought I was stretched to maximum before I ever got pregnant, but the babies definitively proved that idea to be false.  You know, the babies were nice, but the skin? Meh.<br \/>\nAnyhow, today I discovered a new trick my body can do- I&#8217;m a real-life, Elasti-Girl!  (My tag line is <em>Growing super powers and losing other things&#8230;<\/em> after all!) How do I qualify as a real-life Elasti-Girl?  Well, when I have a scratch or bump or otherwise invisible-to-the-naked-eye skin anomaly in a hard-to-see area like the back of my knee, my butt or shoulder, I can simply grab it and pull it around the side of my body to take a look.<br \/>\nNope.  I&#8217;m not joking.<br \/>\nLike bread dough. Both really cool and unnerving&#8230;<br \/>\n   ***<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve not been doing anything with diet or exercise this week.  I haven&#8217;t gone off my rocker or anything, but I haven&#8217;t worked out.  At all.  I&#8217;m moving my classroom plus finishing up the year as a teacher &#8211; you know- still teaching the kids science and all that good stuff!  Anyhow, I&#8217;m giving myself the weekdays off until the school year is out.  Then I&#8217;ll kick my (elastic) rear back into gear.  Until then, this is my life:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.littlejohnesque.com\/shazam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/20140606-214010-78010228.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.littlejohnesque.com\/shazam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/20140606-214010-78010228.jpg\" alt=\"20140606-214010-78010228.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI loathe moving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the fun things about having a weightloss blog is that I get to share the weirdest, strangest things that are associated with losing a large amount of fat.
