Big boned?

"I have a large frame", "I am big boned". These are things that we tell ourselves when we are unhappy with the number on the scale. I've always avoided saying either of these. I didn't want a cop out. I just wanted to be smaller. Recently I ran across a self test involving measuring and comparisions of various body parts to determine whether you are small, medium or larged framed. I fully expected the result to be medium. That's what I have claimed for 50 years or so. Well guess what? Wrong. This still seems kind of hilarious to me but I actually AM large framed. I carry too much weight on this frame, true, but I have had to reassess my "ideal weight" goal with this in mind. I am now shooting for 145 pounds. This is about as thin as it's going to get realistically. So there it is.....stated to the world. My goal weight. Having lost some weight already, I am heading into difficult territory. The stubborn pounds. But I am determined. Today is Day 1 of my reality based efforts.
