Good morning..wow...We are gonna get the heat and humidity here in nyc in july..and thats fascinating about who sweats alot who doesnt..I was always a huge SWEATER:) especially at a younger age....do you find fat loss and getting in shape is just so much easier and natural in summer? I feel thats when I can easily drop the pounds I guess due to being outside alot, in the sun and just being more active...I reckon you are in australia?When I was 60lbs heavier I used to sweat pretty constantly (all year round). My t-shirts were stained on the sleeves from wiping the sweat off my forehead. After I lost the weight I slowly noticed that I sweated hardly at all and thought it was great that I was no longer the sweaty guy (I oddly sweated more on my face where people could see easily). I remember guys in the kitchen I worked in when I was 16 laughing because I’d sweat when stocking the fridges and freezers. I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it even after I started peating (I still haven’t bought a thermometer) but this morning I got off the train a couple of stops before my office and walked in to work (something I enjoy doing).
It’s summer here and we’ve just had a couple of warmer days with high humidity (80%+). It was 80degF (28degC) at 7am this morning and by the time I walked into the kitchen I was dripping with sweat. My business shirt was quite wet in places (front and back not just the pits) and someone I know well said that it wasn’t “right” to sweat that much. I assured her it was just a sign that my metabolism was revving along happily and not to worry. I didn’t realise but there was another bloke (who’s carrying a lot of extra weight) in front of the water fountain filling his drink bottle. He was literally dripping with sweat and looked terrible (he’d only walked from the bus stop to the office). He made some crack about “that being good to know” and we had a laugh and a chat about it. It was a hot and humid morning but I noticed that some people on the street had visible sweat and others didnt. There was no discernible pattern to it.
It’s been on the back of my mind all day. I’m now glad my metabolism is recovering although I think I’m just realising how much it had slowed (I ate all day when I was a teenager and was skinny and lanky until about 18).
