Could you be looking for
this thread?
I've posted several times about the feeling cold thing. To me, it's sort of like this - for years, I wore the equivalent of a very warm Gore-Tex coat ALL THE TIME - day and night. Kind of like how a whale has its layer of blubber to keep it warm in the cold ocean. That was me alright.
So when I started losing weight for the last time - in May 1990 - after losing, oh, maybe the first 15-20 pounds, I started feeling CHILLY and having to wear sweaters or sweatshirts (in summer). My support group counselor advised us ahead of time this would happen - like I said, I was used to having that Gore-Tex coat (i.e. my FAT) on 24/7, and now I was losing the insulation. But ya know...the cold was a
temporary situation. I just feel normal now - and I remember when I was obese I would be constantly perspiring and out of breath from having to drag my blubbery body around. Not anymore!
Or quoting myself from the above thread:

Now as far as the being hungry all the time, the being cold all the time, the need to exercise constantly - well, yup, there WAS a time when I WAS constantly hungry - but in doing journaling, I've found that a lot of that 'hunger' wasn't 'stomach hunger' but rather 'head hunger'. And especially during the study, I was cold a LOT - naturally since I was used to carrying around a lot more blubber as padding (Since the first part of the study took place during the summer, I did look quite odd wearing sweaters in August!). I can't REMEMBER the last time that's happened - my body has, I think, adjusted to its current weight for the most part.
