Collarbone woes...

[Everlasting]

Hey ladies. You know how we all love that day when we finally start to see definition in our collars... I think that started happening to me around 210 lbs... it was just starting to poke out.

I went for awhile enjoying it and not realizing how much more it was beginning to poke out, but now at 186, it's really starting to GROSS me out! I'll go to itch my neck or something and feel it poking out there, and I can like hook my finger around it and all.

It's like... I have been fat all my life. I never remember feeling bones like that before. I know that while I continue to lose weight, this bone will poke out more, and there will BE more bones, but for heavens sake this is ridiculous... the grossed out feeling that I get when I touch my bone. I look at pictures of thinner people and see thinner people and know that their bones stick out too, and that there are certain bones that are not SUPPOSED to be buried under fat or muscle.

I'll admit I get the same feeling when I hug my very thin friends. The bones. Haha...

Urg... it's so awkward to be losing squishiness...

Does anybody else have awful mournful feelings of the loss of squishiness at times?

I mean, there is nothing that would stop me from trying to lose this weight and be healthy now. I really want that. It's just soooo different. I've always been obese so I don't know myself at this stage, even though I am still well overweight.

i feel that way about my elbows. they are sharp! i can't even put my elbows on my legs and hold up my head because it hurts!

I don't have this problem...My collarbones don't show until I'm well below normal weight, lol. I think I barely see them if I weigh about 110, haha

I like having the definition in my collarbone but I have to agree with the elbows... I was trying to rest them on my knees yesterday and it was so ouchy!

I get how u feel. It takes a lot of getting used to a skinny body. The thing thats really hard for me is how dramatically my face has changed. My face now actually has a shape and I used to have a really really round face, big cheeks and all lol and now I feel so WEIRD when I look at myself in the mirror I feel like I'm not even the same person.

i wish i had more definition in my collar bones, you're so lucky! maybe as i keep losing. i've been noticing them more, i guess i'm losing some weight around my arms and chest because my grandmother said something to me about it last time i was visiting her. i really want them though, i can see mine perfectly when i sit at a super weird angle

I guess I'm one of those people who thinks collarbones are the sexiest part of a woman's body... the sharper the better. My cousin, who at 5'7 used to be 170 and is now in the 130s has very sharp defined collarbones and whenever I go see her (she lives in California) I can't help but to touch them and feel them. She thinks it's funny.

i noticed that about my collarbone too! it started to gross me out about 20 lbs ago....what i think is even grosser is the veins on the back of my hands. maybe it's a tendon or something, i don't know but when i put my thumb up it totally sticks up. i feel like i have old lady hands now. gross.

Just wait until you can feel your pelvis! That freaked me out for like, a year or something

[amyleigh]

haha i can SEE my pelvis when i lay down. talk about creepy. i didn't really think it existed. who knew.

I love the collar bones! But, I hate the hip bones. I am having a hard time going to sleep. I am a side sleeper, and the loss of the squishiness over the hips makes it uncomfortable. I was just thinking about this last night. I have slept on my sides for 8 years, how will I ever adjust! I also notice my hands looking older. And, I can see some "wrinkly" skin on my stomach and inner thighs and boobs. I see sagging in my future, followed by a tummy tuck.

Yes! My butt has become bony too xD

I have noticed that my hip bones stick out when I lay down... I kinda like it.

I agree that I think collarbones on women are gorgeous. I am a belly dancer and I looooove the look it gives on myself and on other women. I just don't like to feel it! It's so weird!

Ah hip bones! I'm just dying to have hip bones (as if they're not there now... lol... just hidden) but it's probably going to freak me out.

Another one is my Tibia. I've been doing a lot of running the last couple of months and my legs are getting more defined, and I can now run my hand down the front of my leg and feel that long tibia bone. WEIRD!

Oh, man. I miss my collar bones so much! I loved the way they looked. Can't wait to see them again!
