When you have a sizeable spare tire, bending over can be quite a chore. Even such a simple task as tying shoes becomes an opportunity for discomfort and (if done in public) a mildly embarrassing display of my lack of flexibility. When I was pregnant, I took to wearing slip-on shoes to eliminate the problem of tying shoes in public. Now that I'm just fat, I still often do this. It's just easier.
Heck, I avoid all sorts of bending over. Not only does the act of bending over leave my sizeable butt highlighted, but it's also uncomfortable and I'm frankly just not that flexible these days. Gosh I'd love to be, though.
I know I have a long journey ahead of me, but one of my goals is to be able to bend over without having to maneuver into weird and awkward positions to do simple tasks like picking up toys off the floor, or tying my shoes. This involves working on flexibility in addition to addressing weight issues, I know, but the primary problem is weight-related. One more reason to stick to the plan!
