It's not ever winter yet and I can't take it

I will say, though, that the hot flashes I thought I had lost forever have started to come back. So every few days I will "flash" and go from freezing to flushing and then in 15 minutes back to freezing again. It's weird.

Even with all the complaining and discomfort, I WOULDN'T TRADE MY SLEEVE FOR ANYTHING!!!

OH YEAH, now that was an unpleasant discovery--I think I'm at around the same point in overall weight loss as you are, and yep, those pesky hot flashes that were kept at bay with the release of estrogen (yay fat burning!) are coming BACK. So I'm doing what you are! My husband calls me the East Texas Weather Machine, because I'm hot, then cold, then hot--it's crazy!

But you're 100% right, even with all this silliness, I wouldn't trade my sleeve for anything, either!!!! I'm fine piling on a sweater or stripping off my socks at a moment's notice--whatever works! This too shall pass, and we'll be thin and healthy and postmenopausal some day. At least now I feel like I'll be around to BE postmenopausal--couldn't say that before my sleeve!!

It's hilarious how everyone is complaining here about skinny issues now instead of fat issues. I can't wait to be cold or have my butt hurt in a chair.

I feel cold all the time too. I'd rather be cold and wearing cute layers, than sweating like a pig because I'm so damn hot. I used to hate the summer and hot weather because of my fat. I would sweat excessively, and I felt stinky and gross (on top of being fat). Now I look forward to next summer- I hope I'll be near or past goal by then :smile1:

Being cold is uncomfortable, though. I suppose it's a trade-off. I haven't had the butt-bone issue yet, but I'm sure it will come .
