Body weight shifting

OK everyone I have returned to my normal weight. YEAH....the ??? I have seems to be if it has shifted. My hips & a$$ seem larger. I am by no means complaining. Maybe its been so long that I have been at my normal weight that I forgot what its like so I asked my hubby. He doesnt remember my butt being quite so cushy. I was just wondering if middle age spread does actually hit CFers. I am happy, but was curious. Either way I have a butt again. Now the boobs I need to work on!

Mind you i am not middle aged but I was just talking about this yesterday. I finally returned to my normal weight but i gained it all back in my stomach. When I first lost the weight it was all in my arms and legs and my stomach stayed the same. Now that I gained it back it went to the stomach making it even bigger.

I don't think thats fair. If I lose weight in my arms and legs that is where i should regain it.

Now I look like a freak with a round belly, no butt at all, and sticks for legs and arms. boo

I never really lost weight from cf, but as my late twenties approached I certainly gained plenty. I can't help but think age has played a factor in that.

this started happening to me a few years back. so disappointing! you just expect everything to go back to how it was if you put on, or lose weight [both in my case] but it never does <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

Yep Melissa, these are the wonderful advantages of age <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> i also have some shifting going on. After i had my embolizations i needed to gain about 16-18 pounds which i did. BUT it shows in areas and ways i dont like. For the first time in my life, i am starting to have a little cellulite on my legs, and a small belly, and i finally have somewhat of an a$$....lol I am 5'4 at 120 lbs. so i am at a good weight , but i am not used to seeing it in areas that mos people my age see it.

LOL! Melissa.
Yes, middle-aged spread comes to all.
Gravity finally wins (with or without CF).
Rip was really irritated about the middle-aged things he dealt with.
He used to complain that "if I had died at 35 like they 'promised' me, I wouldn't have to go thru ______ ".
I"m not thrilled with my tummy, doublechin, and all (I look JUST like my mother at this age), but at least I didn't think I was going to be able to avoid it all.

Sorry, hon. That's what comes of taking such good care of yourself -- and sheer dumb luck, of course.

Enjoy;-)
