MrsKarenC2008 622 Posted April 5, 2016 I know this has been discussed before ... But DANG with always being cold! Saturday night hubby and I went to the dirt track races ... it was in the 40's ... I swear to God it took me 2 days to warm up! I was chilled to my bone marrow I swear ... Every single day I wear my coat at work ... WITH my heater on ... and my toes are still cold ... along with my fingers ... Geesh! Who knew ( I mean obviously someone knew ) ... That our extra weight actually kept us THAT warm! Like I said ... I know we've all discussed this before ... But I had to get this off my chest ... again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,710 Posted April 5, 2016 I was always cold even when I was fat. Now it's worse! Leave my space heater running under my desk all day long at work. Stay under a blanket at home. Wear my coat or a hoodie at restaurants and movies. I feel like I'm never warm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamieLogical 8,710 Posted April 5, 2016 I've actually spent time scouring the internet for ideas on how to keep my fingers from turning purple while I use my keyboard and mouse at work... any gloves thin enough to type with wouldn't be warm enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsKarenC2008 622 Posted April 5, 2016 ive seen gloves that have little hats on them ... you can flip them over and button them to the back of your hand so you can use your finger tips to type, etc .. I actually ALMOST bought a pair ... they looked pretty snug on the hands as to not interfere with the keys ... Sounds like whoever invented them ... will be rich from us bariatric patients!

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted April 5, 2016 My key to warmth is layers. I always wear a tight tank top, no matter the temperature. When it's cool, I layer on CuddleDuds. Look them up! They have three thicknesses to choose from and when it's really cold, I wear two sets under my jeans and sweater. If my core is warm, and I'm wearing socks, my hands don't go numb. Hell. At least I'm thin enough to wear layers under my jeans!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsKarenC2008 622 Posted April 5, 2016 @LipstickLady I never heard of a Cuddle Dud ... That is on my Amazon list of things to check out ... Thank you for the hint !! Maaaaybe... I should buy bigger shoes and wear 3 pairs of socks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
