A couple of months ago, while training for a marathon, I was having some issues with my left foot. It would swell up, get really puffy, and then stay that way. (ew) I couldn't wear most of my adorable shoes and when I could squeeze my foot into a pair, it would kind of puff up out of the shoe. (double ew) I dubbed it my "fat girl foot" and had it checked out by my regular doc and a foot specialist. Turned out that there were some vascular issues, and that my poor little foot wasn't pumping blood and other fluid-y stuff properly, so all that was just kinda chilling in there. To put this in perspective, when my foot specialist saw my fat girl foot for the first time, her response was (and I quote): "WHOAH! That's BIG!" (embarassing)
Happily, my fat girl foot is no more, thanks to the compression sleeve (AKA: old lady sock) that I had to wear all day every except when sleeping. I now only have to wear it when I run and doc says I can start trying to run without it in about a month. Okay, so that's that.
Last week on the metro, I saw a lady with fat girl feet. Big ones. In strappy shoes. (click on the pictures for detail)
Really, lady?!? Ew.
