I have been so used to my bones being layered in fat, that now that they are sorta poking out, they are bugging me. Not that I wish they were still covered in fat, lol. It just takes some getting used to. Every time I put my hand up by my collar bones and feel them jutting out I am like OMG!!! WTH!! It just seems very weird.
I've got prominent bones all over now, and while I love looking at them, actually touching them kind of creeps me out. I find my collarbones and ribcage particularly disturbing. Not enough to go back, mind, but it's definitely taking some getting used to. They make me feel strangely fragile, even though I'm nothing of the sort.
I can't begin to tell you how much joy I get from my collar bones... I don't know why - but I just LOVE them. They are SO prominent. As they began to emerge and just kept on getting showier and showier it was SUCH a huge thrill for me. And I still love and adore them. Although sometimes my shoulder strap from my handbag digs into them and that's a little uncomfortable.
I also adore my hipbones - coolest things ever. My ribcage is awesome too. I love the little wrist bone. Oh and I'm pretty fond of the bones in my hands and my feet.
I know for sure I never ever would have *enjoyed* these bones to the extent that I do had I never been super morbidly obese.
Almost, though not quite, made it all worth it, just so I can enjoy things that most (never overweight) people take for granted.

you crazy!! heheh collar bones are awesome! same with hip bones, like where the heck have they been??? the first time i could feel them standing up i thought i had a tumour or something lol
I think it will be weird when it happens but so far, not really seeing a lot in the way of collar bones. I carry a lot of my weight in the top half of my body so my face and the general area are still very full. I can see a difference but it's definitely not a dramatic one, at least not yet. I keep telling myself that it's really a good thing, I'll still look young even when I lose all the weight. (at least I hope!!)
Collar bones kind of freak me out too. But I think it's just mine that will (or did in the past). It just seems like a weird place for a hole to be.
Oh, and I know that when I start getting close to goal, that's what my mom will mention. "you're getting too thin, I can see your collar bone". Hmmm... wonder why it freaks me out???? Seriously, I just made that connection.
My collar bones keep bugging me
