    Default Skinny problems?! Who woulda thunk it?! Lol

    Laying on my side at night is kind of challenging! I bruise easily so now I wake up with bruises from my knee bone touching my other knee bone. Oh, the problems! Lol. I felt my hip bone a couple days ago for the first time, EVER. Honestly, it kind of hurt but I was like "mom what is that??" and she never seen my hips either so she didn't know. My skinny daughter walks up, pokes me in the hips and says "it's your hips mama! You're getting skinny like me... Get it girl!! Lol! I am adjusting. It is just somewhat painful for me. I have a lot of bone & skin pain since my MS & Fibromyalgia diagnosis in 2004 and seems like the weight loss just increases the bone pain. I'm sure I'll be able to deal with it. It's just new changes. Hope everyone is doing well!!!

    There must be a NSV in there somewhere!
    This is great and so funny Michelle!
    I will warn you in advance: you have cheekbones and collar bones as well.
    The latter are great to fumble with... don't ask how I know that.
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    Lol!! I took my kids out for dinner & a movie this week. I kept looking at the pictures cuz I was like "Good Lord, I'm getting skinny!" Lol. It's so weird to see after being obese my entire life. I've dropped weight before so I've always gone back and forth in my face but when I see it in a full body picture, that's when I really know how much I've lost. Well, that and when I can't even keep my skinny jeans up. I have no butt now. Lol

    Michelle... one of the biggest things I've found is that my bottom hurts a lot to sit on because of lack of fat I guess. It can get so sore if sitting for a long time and so I've been known to carry a little cushion around LOL! Fibromyalgia is the pits though at times, Im sorry you have to deal with that :-(

    Love this. It is such fun to rediscover bits of us that have been covered up for so long.
    Hear you about the laying in bed. I now find that I am most comfortable on my back. I know exactly what you are talking about re sitting Edie. I have had to put a cushion on the seat on my car (it's pretty old and the seat is a bit rubbish) as it is uncomfortable for any long distance. I have to get up and walk around a lot more at the office too as sitting down for too long is painful. I will take all of this rather than be fat any day though.
    And DutchSleeve - collar bones are fun too ;-)

    Thank you! I deal with it and I try not to complain. I put my shoulder out back in August and have noticed that I've had to continuously go to the chiropractor but now I can't even let my kids lean on that side. I will get through it. Just a little slower than everyone else. Lol

    I have the "sit" problem, although I've never had much backside to begin with. And I've taken to putting a rolled up towel between my knees to stop the bruises. The weird protrusions in the back are my shoulders! Ha ha my daughter is right. We do ALL have skeletons.
