Strange Hard Things Under My Skin....?

[amfw 18]

I actually do have a couple lipomas (fatty benign growths) under the skin.

I have one on the side of my arm that you can't really see but now that the fat is coming off that's becoming visible.

I had a benign thyroid nodule that I found years ago after losing weight because it was more visible on my neck.

I think the only benefit to being fat is less damage if you fall down the steps- with all the padding. Had it happen- no problem.

Ooh' date=' actually that's a funny story. I was going up the steps and said "Stupid, (actually didn't say that) why don't you put your coffee cup right here in the middle of the steps so on your way down you won't forget it?"

What do you know, I'm coming down the steps, forget about the cup and get my toes stuck in the cup and go sailing down. coffee is all over the walls, steps, me, and I'm pulling my foot out of a cup. It really was funny,

..especially since I didn't break any bones because of my fat. [/quote']

Your story made me laugh so hard! I'm glad that you're ok!

OH MY GOSH THAT'S NOT FUNNY SO WHY AM I LAUGHING SO HARD!!

Yes..I now have ankles...not cankles

I don't know if it's heredity or what, but even when I weighed 125, I think I STILL had cankles. I guess I'm just a "sturdy" girl. HAHAHA (should have been an ice skater, i guess!)

Yes, I've noticed that when I sit on a hard surface I can feel the bones in my butt (must be my pelvis). Normally I have extra padding down there, but I suppose I don't anymore.

I'm still fat! But I'll let you know.

I actually didn't notice this was your post at first, and thinking some lady is going to try and tell me she thinks she has blood clots or IV catheters left in her body or something.

Though the other day someone commented that she could really tell I was losing weight, and then specifically used the example of "your collarbones are sticking out everywhere."

WLS people tend to do that. I noticed this like 6 years ago and have no real idea why. We get mad collar bone juttage. I could pass for normal weight from the sternum up, unless you looked at my arms, but from the waist down I'm all Grimace.

I actually tell it much better than I write it with all the gestures and falling motions. One of my goals when I lose the weight is to do stand up comedy.

(Not to be confused with fall down comedy).

Don't worry-- it's was hysterical and taught me why my husband makes such a big deal about "nothing on the stairs!!" I used to put laundry on the side to send up later... no more.

I was saying on a different thread that I haven't had ribs outside my dinner plate in a while lol... But someday soon I too will see bones on my body...
