Oh, I love this!
Now that I am thinner... I feel "normal"
Now that I am thinner... my DH and I look more like we belong together
Now that I am thinner... I feel like doing things with the people I love
Now that I am thinner... my horse does not groan so much when I get on.
Now that I am thinner... I feel like loving myself again and not that bag of Doritos

Random strangers are much nicer to me

Something else I have happily noticed:

Now that I am thinner sweat doesnt pool in places and my neck and back aren't always clammy. I, too, am always cold.

Now that I'm thinner.. I don't have to tie a jacket around my waist all the time to hide the spare tire/gushy muffin top... it's so nice!

.... I have confirmed the bony butt toilet seat.
.... I don't get acid reflux any longer. I used to take 6-8 tums a day. I haven't had one in months.
.... My knees don't pop at all any more.
.... My blood pressure is stabilized at 120/80.
.... People tell me something I never thought I would hear: "You need to stop losing weight."
.... Cold.
.... I wear clothes that actually fit me now, as opposed to wearing some ridiculously oversized shirt in a futile attempt to hide fat.
.... I've gained the confidence to take on other problems in life. This felt like the most insurmountable obstacle possible. If I can handle this, I can handle anything.
:dizzy:

I'm really diggin' feeling cold all the time. Such a refreshing change to feeling SO uncomfortable and hot.... to top it off, I was so ashamed of my body that I was covering up even when it was warm outside! I'm looking forward to baring it all this summer!!

I did the same. I did try on bathing suits yesterday, and it was an ok experience. I was not being as critical as I use to be... :belly:

I this is the most amazing and important benefit of all. I've thought "ditto" as I've read most of these, but this one is definitely a "DITTO". Big congratulations to you!

Now that I am thinner the thigh swishswish sound is going away and I can cross my legs.

Now that I am thinner, I am actually getting upset that my smallest clothes are getting too big for the first time ever.

Now that I am thinner I am constantly touching my collar bone! Just knowing that it's there and you can feel it is amazing to me. My neck finally ends :)

What cankles?? :) My personal fave!

Quinn, I love your two quotes in your signature!

Now that I'm thinner, I can fit into my favorite pair of pants that I haven't worn in years! I wore them today and it felt wonderful!

Also, I work in a preschool center and now that I'm thinner, I don't worry about sitting in the tiny child-sized chairs when I'm in a classroom for an observation or meeting.
