Is it real? Or is it fat?

This morning when I stepped on the scale I found that I had lost a few pounds. I was shocked. So I've stopped nursing, and my appetite has calmed way down. But I really don't feel as if my body is changing all that much. I tried on a pair of my old favorite pants and they fit slightly better. As I was showering the thought struck me, what if I'm not losing weight. What if my body is changing from muscle to fat? Fat weighs less then muscle, right? Could it be true? I think I'm right. I am almost 33 yrs old. My body composition is changing. I have experienced an excess of fat in places that I've never had to worry about. I love getting older. So many things in life get better with age and experience. Take sex for instance. So much better now then when I was first married. But these changes to my body SUCK!!! I am going to really have to start concentrating on exercise and especially my diet.

I look at women who are in their 40's and some of them are gorgeous. You'd never know they were that old. I want to be one of those women. I don't want to have the gut that hangs over, even when I'm standing. I don't want to have relief society arms, nasty.
