What kind of Column shall I be?

Several years ago, when I lost this weight for the second time,my goal was to outlive my mother.  But,  my silly goal was to have a waist again.  Sometime between the first time I lost significant weight and the second time I lost significant weight, menopause happened.  The possibility of having an hourglass figure again had left the building with my fertility.  Instead, I got LEGS.  Short ones, for sure, but nice ones.

This time around, I expect to get nice legs again, but not a waist.

I realized a couple of weeks ago that I have been using rather impolite language to refer to my shape:  sausage.

First of all, I probably should NOT refer to myself as an item of food, even if it is one that I dearly love!

Second, it could be heard as rather derogatory, shameful.  Don't want that.

But like it or lump it, I am rather straight, up and down, the measurements do not vary much.

So, how about COLUMNAR as a description?

So, I wondered..

WHAT KIND OF COLUMN WOULD I LIKE TO BE?

Doric was far too SEVERE, a minimalist's column.
Ionic looked too EARLY AMERICAN, like sausage curls at my ears. ( See? the reference to food again?)
I want to be a CORINTHIAN column.  It suits my curly hair.

I  thought to use the decreasing size of a lovely Corinthian Column to represent my shrinking size. 

This presented a dilemma.


  If I simply shrank the image from ideal to..NOTHING...I would disappear.

So, instead, to represent the achievement of 25% of my goal..
I added 25% to the girth of the ideal column.

I am a CORINTHIAN COLUMN, majestic and playful, with curly hair.
