Disadvantages of being thin 9/4/09

I was always overweight and I never considered myself thin. I am finding out some new things. Most are positive. I look good and people are surprised and they say they are inspired or impressed. However there are two things that are disadvantages of being thin. First, I am cold all the time. If you know me, you may think this is odd because I live in Texas. Because it is hot, everybody makes sure the place is well air-conditioned. You can literally see my chicken skin. I survived the summer semester drinking lots of hot tea, wearing sweater in the office. Fall semester is not too different. I bought various jackets and shawls so that I don’t embarrass myself. The second is how uncomfortable to sit on hard surface. Now metal seats at train stations and even train seats are quite uncomfortable. Even right now, I am sitting in a chair at gym café and I feel like I need a little cushion.
