Losing My Fat Blanket

[Deweydoer 111]

For years, I never really wore a warm winter jacket, just a heavy sweater and a scarf. I'm sitting here in Ohio, it was really cold this week and I'm having trouble staying warm. I am NOT complaining, just making an observation, but I got to go out and buy a nice winter coat! I'm sitting here with a giant sweatshirt, that used to be tight, wrapped in a blanket eating beef vegetable Soup, nice and warm. I mentioned this to someone at work yesterday and they said I was losing my R-Factor, I about fell off my chair!! Anyway, anyone else in a cold climate having this issue?

Oh yeah, big time! It started for me last winter but this winter (after losing over 230 pounds) it's awful. I am freezing my butt off all the time. It doesn't matter how many layers I put on, or thick my jacket is, I'm cold. I spend way too much time by the fireplace wrapped in blankets just trying to stay warm.

I am feeling much colder than normal...but that's ok because I'm having lots of fun trying new jackets, clothes, and scarves.

I can't wait to be able to get a nice coat -- in a woman's size. Have been wearing men's parkas for a while for sleeve length and belly room. Won't it be nice to have some winter-wear that fits!

I am from Boston and I can not get warm. I wear a scarf in the house. Before Lap Band I would wear a scarf when it reached around 20. I am never warm. I wear full length fur coats and still get cold. But when I sleep, I sweat. That is weird and my bedroom has an open window all winter.

Maybe one day it will all balance and we will get warm again.

Same here! We're losing our insulation! haha I used to just wear a sweatshirt, even when it was 5 below!! Now, I'm bundled up, and wearing my heavy winter coat when it's 40!
