...what it feels like to be overweight. Obviously that is great, my mind is finally starting to catch up with my body. I'm not as shocked anymore when I sit in a booth at a restaurant and my belly is a couple feet away from the table as opposed to spilling over it, I don't feel like I'm going to bump into everyone in a crowd, I don't dread movie theater seats, I don't worry that I won't be able to find something to wear that will make me look awesome. But sometimes I wonder will my forgetfullness lead to complacency and regain? As much as I want to burn them I actually keep a few photos of myself around the house at my high weight to remind me of where I came from, but sometimes I wish I could live a day in that old body to keep me grateful, to make me remember where I never want to be again. In general though it's nice to finally feel like this body is mine and feel *normal*.

Thanks for posting this. I was curious about the mental and perceptional changes that would come with losing weight. I'm not surprised to discover that the newness of being thin wears off a bit. Congratulations on your weight loss!

My belly feels funny in the car. Not the lapbelt but the shoulder one ... feels odd over my ribs.
