Letting The Air Out Of The Spare Tire

My stomach feels a little bit squishy. It seems to be losing that solid, full, rounded feeling that it has always had. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? If I poked it, it used to feel no different than part of my calf. I would say it was firm. But now, when I prod my midsection (hmmm... that in itself could be interpreted as a rather odd pastime) it feels less full and more malleable. It also seems like there is a little less elasticity - like the skin springs back a fraction of a second later than it would have before. It's not a big change, but to me it's noticeable.

Edit: I would also like to bring attention to a newcomer to the blogging world. I have received so much support from all of you and I would like to try and give back a little, so if you have time please swing by and check out April's new site. I found her last week when she started commenting on here... she is just beginning this struggle and could really use some encouragement. Thanks, everyone!
