So, in my efforts to attempt being a responsible adult, I applied for life insurance. The thought was that if anything ever happens to me or the Husband, the kid would be financially taken care of (for a while at least). So, we jumped through the usual hoops (physical, blood test, paying money) and left it at that.
Then BAM!!!! DENIAL. In the mail yesterday I received a letter telling me after long consideration, I was denied because of my stature. To me the letter looked like this:
So, what does that mean you may ask. It means I am too fat for life insurance. It means I am at high risk of dying before I pay off a policy so I am not a good gamble for the company. And I think that sucks. My physical came back fine. I am overall and apparently surprising healthy for my "stature" which is short and fat in case you were wondering. Yes I am over weight, but I have never fit into the dang height weight chart.
And I think it sucks that I can't insure my spouse because I am fat. Confusion.
I want to blame this on pregnancy, I really really do. But the truth is I gained this weight after I had the kid. So maybe mommyhood did it. Or better yet...
TV! Yeah that's right! I blame TV. It is the root of all evil. OK maybe not. But it made me happy when I typed it.
So I have said all of this to say that maybe I need to lose a pound or 80 so I can be around for my kid as she grows up. It is either lose weight or get taller. I am accepting tips for both. Help a sistah out!
Team Krissy, Katy is worth you losing weight.
ReplyDeleteI figure as much. And we all know I am all for self preservation. I've been losing a consistent 1 lb a week, but in the grand scheme of things it would take me 12 years to get to my appropriate weight with this routine.
ReplyDeleteI rarely read blogs ... this is maybe my third time to date. a friend got mad at me because whenever she asked if I had read her blog ... i would say no. Her blogs were irritatingly long and intro-retrospective and NEVER just got to the point. However, Katy's Mom, you may just have a subscriber in me! Not to say I'm into self-deprecating Krissy but I know your flavor and look forward to other posts! Quan
ReplyDeleteUh oh! By no means did I mean to come across as self depreciating, I simply state the facts- I need to lose a few pounds to make sure I am around for the long run. Becoming a parent kind of makes you start to think about things like that.
