Okay probably about to open a can of worms, but well, eh....

So, You know you've lost weight when you can feel your shoulder blades.
I was in the shower this morning, (yes I'm a morning shower person if you're wondering) and I realised I could feel my shoulder blades, I don't ever remember having them there before.

See the thing is, for all of you out there who don't know, I have spent the last year or around, on a couple of mission teams. Which means long hours, lots of work, pressure, stress, relationship issues (both types) etc.. And out of all that it seems my body handles it in an unusual way.

Nearly everyone I've caught up with since being back in Australia has mentioned my weight within the first few sentences. I'm currently sitting at 89kgs (196 lbs for you North Americans) which I guess is a decent amount of difference from when I left. (I was about 96-100kgs or 210-220) but the funny thing was that the last 2 months of my stay in Canada, I was fed soo well it wasn't funny. God blessed my mission team with an abundance of food. And I was thinking I must of been even skinnier before that.

But this isn't something new, as my trip to Utah in 2002, I lost nearly 20kgs from 120kgs(260lbs) and then again I wasn't eating badly (hehe some may say I was) but I think stress has a lot to do with it. Both ended up being stressful experiences, and I guess my body deals with that in that way.

So I guess I'm not really making a point yet, it just seems from talking to some female friends about their trips overseas, the opposite happens (even though talking to females about weight is always a bad start. And feel free to get on your high horses ladies, I've had a whole year of it, and its the truth)

Just wondering if anyone has had things like this happen? Like I don't want to bring up bad weight stories, last thing I want to do, heck it doesn't even have to be about weight. When you've traveled have you come back with a significant change and not really realised it? And what could of caused it?


Yeah seriously who would of thought I'd ever blog on weight issues.

I reckon that stress does different things to different people physically. I dropped nearly 10 kilos when we moved to melbourne and well I don't know where it all came from cause I wasn't that heavy to start off with but I've put half of it back on now. Oddness.

Apparantley I've lost weight. It hasn't been an intentional thing and to be honest, my scales aren't telling me I have. I guess that can't be altogether bad. I'm not eating any different and certainly not exercising anymore. Oh well. It's neither here nor there for me, so I'm not fussed.
Weight weight weight. I lost weight in Africa. Got brown as well... man I looked good when I came back. Now I'm feeling pasty and my hair is all browny crappy colour. Poo. BRING ON SUMMER!!!!
