since I started myofascial release therapy and Watsu. Really. I used to be 5'8". Then I shrank to 5'7", 5'7 1/4" on a good day.

Wow.
What caused it? Is it a fluke? Well, my xrays show a curve in my middle back and low back (slight S shape scoliosis). So maybe that is straightening out a bit. Also the xrays I had taken last spring show more space between my vertebrae. This has to be the reason, right?

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
