If you find out how to cure that inner tube, tell me. All the women on one side of my family have it, too. Doesn't help whilst swimming, either.JopieHaargel said:I have what seems to be an inner tube under my skin, around the waist-area. Doctors attribute it to drinking too much beer. I don't buy that, because my mother has the same condition and she doesn't even like beer.
More uncommon: my eyes seem to immediately focus on every written spelling error they see. I'm not even looking for them, it's just like there are eye-magnets inside, and every time my brains yells "There's one!" and then moves on. It's really hard to watch a movie with unofficial subtitles like that.
OT: Erm... not sure. I've worn green tinted contacts for the last 16+ years so people think my eyes are green, but they're actually grey/blue. I had my appendix out when I was 11, so I now have a scar that's like 8 inches long and half an inch wide from stretching. ... Really wide feet?
... Actually most people don't believe I weigh what I do. I'm 5'7" and wide shouldered and normally proportioned (I don't have a big tummy and little legs, etc, everything on me is proportional to the rest of me, fat head included) and wear a size 18.... 16 if I've been good (general size XL, or 1X, I can shop in normal stores for clothes), but I weigh 260-270lbs. Really. I can walk/run/climb stairs normally (aside from my knee that I injured a couple months ago), do yoga, eat reasonably healthy (but large protions), and use a treadmill (but not enough).
For reference, Adele is about a size 14. And shorter and narrower than me.
I guess I've got really dense bones, and the muscle you build from being big since childhood helps too. Not to say I'm healthy - I do need to lose weight as I'm 30 soon and things are starting to hurt.
