This brought to mind a study I read about recently in the Diet Blog, about curvy women having smarter kids. Maybe their curves are because they are less stressed and therefore more available to their kids emotionally?
This finding would explain a lot about me--a classic stress case over things big and small. My mid-section has held it's shape, though my thighs and hips shrank considerably when I started ETL! :)
