You know when you go for an appointment with your doctor and they weigh and measure you first?
We will not discuss the reading on the scale. That is way too depressing.
But I found that I have shrunk from my original statuesque 5 feet 3 inches to a mere 5 feet 1 and 1/2 inches tall.
So now I m not just a chubby granny, I am a SHORT, chubby granny.
Life just is not fair. :)

Age & time have done that to all us olders; I've lost an inch, myself.
ReplyDeleteRev. Paul...I just find it funny. If we can't laugh at ourselves, we might as well crawl into bed, pull the covers over our heads and stay there. :)
DeleteMy scale went up the last time I was in to see the doctor too. Oye. I just laughed it off and will skip making anything sweet until the holidays, ha ha!
ReplyDeleteKristina...I have been fighting my weight most of my life. My youngest child is 47 years old, so I guess I can no longer use childbearing as an excuse! I may just concede defeat and have another cookie. :)
Deletelol, no, that is not baby weight you have.
DeleteMy dad went from 6' to 5'-11" in the army. He said they marched it off of him! - lol
ReplyDeleteNow that's funny, Gorges. First time I heard that one.
DeleteI am laughing. Since I am five inches taller than you, 5'3" is short! It happens!
ReplyDeleteLinda...Maybe I will have to take a page from my daughter's playbook. She is about the same height as me and she says in her next life she is going tall and thin and rich. :)
DeleteThat sounds like a very good idea. I am tall, was thing, but it missed the rich part.
DeleteOooohhh... I started at only 5 feet...and I'm sure I've lost a little height too...which stinks because I have plenty of weight to spread out and no where to go with it. Years ago I had a Garfield poster that said "I'm not overweight, I'm under tall" ...that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Carol...When you start shrinking, you are just going to disappear!!
DeleteIt is pretty tough to hide the weight when there isn't much distance between the top of one's head and the floor. Love your poster. :)
carol,
DeleteI was going to quote that. That was the first time I ever like Garfield.
I too shrunk at my last DR appoint. Look at it this way, Just blame someone else for it. Works for the liberals...wink, big grin
ReplyDeleteRob...I just had to laugh when I found out I was shrinking. When we were kids, my siblings and I teased my Dad, who was 5'5" tall. Looks like that has come back around to bite me in the posterior!
DeleteYou got me laughing from both the post and the comments. Thanks.

SJ...We just have to be able to see the funny side of things or we would drive ourselves crazy being mad at the world. Me...I'd rather laugh. :)
Deleteit comes to us all. i used to be 5' 9".
ReplyDeletedeborah...I was never very tall to begin with, so I suppose it doesn't matter much if I shrink down an inch or two. :)
DeleteI think everybody gets shorter when they get older, something about the spinal cord compressing...
ReplyDeleteI just figure no matter how we change in appearance, as long as our minds are clear, we are the same people.
Harry...In outward appearance I bear little resemblance to the young Vicki. But inside I am still 50 years younger, but with a bit more common sense. :)
DeleteOr maybe it is like my Dad used to say. "Too soon old - too late smart."
my friend anna glenn used to say we were the same people we were in high school but our bodies weren't getting the message.
ReplyDeletethat was years ago and she is now dead to this world. God bless her.
deborah...Your friend had a good point. I would like to think that I grew up some in my beliefs and opinions since then.
DeleteYou are perfect granny size, no matter what. We were the same height. My weight, however, is better suited to a 6 ft tall person.
