Depressing Numbers

Well I measured and posted my beginning statistics. That was truly horrifying. I don't know where to begin on how appalled I am. My upper arm measurement is the same as the famous Scarlet O'Hara's waist! Seriously? I can remember being 38-36-38. (Not that it was a desirable size.) That is not only a far cry from where I am now, (48-45-54) but my hips and butt are the same size and a full 6 inches larger than my bust. For a girl that wears 38I bra (yes that's accurate), having anything larger than that rack is daunting, let alone a full 6 inches! Especially since the part that bothers me the most is really my saggy/ bulging mommy belly. If that is what's really bothering me, how bad is the back end that I don't even see? Yikes. Well, at least I have actual documentation of the numbers, have been forced to accept what they really are and hopefully will be motivated by them. I have a body fat scale that tells me it can't register my fat due to too high of a water %. Well my hydration needs have always been really high and at least it doesn't say the fat % is to high to read. However, I am hopeful that eventually my body fat will drop down enough that it can get reading. Fat caries a large water % as well, so I have to assume that it will eventually impact my hydration % as well and be able to calculate a body fat. Things I am only half anticipating. At least I will be lighter by the time it happens.
