Since the weather has begun to turn cold and I've lost most of my insulation I'm freezing ALL of the time!!! Our heating bill is surely going to go up this winter!
My wow moment happened a couple of weeks ago when some of us went up to a Discovery Bay condo to spend the night after my moms memorial. While there we went over to use the hot tub. Normally I am the first one out because I've never been able to stand the heat for too long. This time I was the last one to get out and I did so only because everyone was heading back to the condo! I wasn't hot at all! Another funny thing I realized was that I wasn't constantly floating to the surface! You know how fat always floats to the top?..... well I guess that my weight loss has proven that true! LOL!
I remember as a child when I went to 4-H camp they had this contest to see who could float the longest in the lake and I won! If I ever see another contest like that I think I'll now bow out!

Welcome to our world!! Seems every year about this time we have a flood of threads from that year's class expressing the same problem. Yup, it affects us all. We used to be able to hibernate comfortably all winter long. (Of course, the flip side was that in warm weather we'd be dripping sweat just thinking about hoisting ourselves out of a chair! )

Snuggies, blankets, sweaters, logger's socks and just about anything made of heavy wool are all strategies we use now that we've lost our thermal layers. You get used to it, and I doubt you'd trade the inconvenience and discomfort for how you were last winter!

Bundle up, and be glad you live in the warm part of the state. If you were in the Tri-Cities or Spokane you'd really be hurting! In a few months, maybe you can spare a tear for those of us out here on the wide-open northern plains!!

I love being cold for this reason. I could have gone without a coat most winters here in WI. But now I am already bundled. I LOVE it. Congrats on your loss, and I hope you see many more WOW moments.

I hear ya! I keep a little blanket on the back of my chair all the time. Yesterday it was about 79 we went to my grandson's football game and I took my jacket because I knew I'd be cold!!

LOL...my doc did warn my husband that I was going to turn cold-natured...and he was right! I haven't lost nearly as much as you and I'm freezing...all the time. I am in VA and it's not that cold here yet. Couldn't tell me that!!

It isn't limited to the north....I'm as far south as you can get without taking a wet salty dip and I'm freezing. But I wouldn't change it for anything! I found an electric throw for my recliner...it keeps me toasty while my honey stays nice and cool!

I have a space heater and a fan next to each other in my office. Hot flash starts, fan comes on. Hot flash over, turn on the heater! It's just crazy!!!

I hear you! I think I'm going to have to get a space heater for my desk and wear gloves - my hands are FREEZING!
