Weight Loss Thoughts

[gothwalk]

Since starting to try to lose weight, I've knocked off about two stone. This is having the desired effect of letting me buy cheap clothes, but it's having some other odd and in many cases unexpected effects too.

First, I'm losing my insulation, and it's getting cold. I'm having to go over a number of old meditation routines and alter out the ones that deal with bloodflow and keeping warm, which is weird. I used to be able to stand in the old "beer garden" in Fibbers and keep three other people warm, though, when I was smaller before, so I know it can be done.

Second, while I have more energy at the start of the day, when I get tired, I go down like a poleaxed bullock, thud. No reserves of energy anymore.

Third, my body is developing all kinds of weird planes and angles where there were none before. There are inward curves at points on my arms and thighs where there weren't before, and they look fundamentally wrong still. I suspect the shape of my face is changing under the beard as well.

Fourthly, I can now keep up with olethros silly-fast walking pace, even while carrying a full gaming kit.

My guess is less surface area, same number of follicles, therefore more apparent hair?

Nah, this is even on the face, I'm not exactly Mr five O clock shadow but I'm getting to the point where shaving weekly wouldn't be out of order (as opposed to getting a bit shaggy about a month in)

Getting older? Himself is getting hairier around the face too & his weight hasn't really changed.
