i’ve lost somewhere between 60-70lbs and here’s how it’s changed my life
disclaimer: i’m actually still overweight so this isn’t necessarily written from a skinny persons point of view but from going to obese to what i am now has changed my everyday life greatly, for the good and the bad (i don’t encourage what i did to lose this weight, if you’re new to this community know that hell comes with this weight loss, it’s not a good time!!!!)
i’m freezing constantly, not just uwuuuu i’m so cold like i literally cannot get warm no matter what (especially my feet and hands)
although i still have a pretty big tummy i can feel my hipbones when i lay down so that’s weird
people are nicer to me???
not that followers or likes matter but i used to only get like 20 likes on mirror pics when i was at my sw and now i get anywhere between 80-160 and lots of comments and it’s just kinda sucky bc i know it’s bc i’ve lost weight
awkward comments from family telling me they “should have started when i did and just done what i’ve done” which you have to sorta say thank you at bc they don’t know you did this by starving yourself
getting nervous when you have to get your vitals taken
my doctor questioning me about my weight loss A LOT
hand bones?? they’re so pretty i’ve never been able to see mine until now
my friends know i have an ED but don’t care bc i’m still overweight so love that
i cancel plans when i feel too fat
body checking EVERYWHERE doesn’t matter where, if i can see my reflection i’m body checking in it
bruising so easily i just have to bump myself on something and it’ll probably bruise me
my wrists are??? so much smaller?? my tattoos don’t really look so out of place anymore either
THIGH GAP( sorta) it doesn’t go all the way up but my legs used to be smushed together and now they pull apart
i used to be in XXL-XL and now i fit into small and medium shirts and xs leggings
one thing that kinda sucks is having to buy all new clothes, baggy only works for so long until you can tell it’s not just baggy it’s too big
not wanting??? artificially sweet things? i rather eat fruit
my boobs don’t look so giant, like they’re still big but before they were like uncomfortably huge
i have major eye bags but my eyes look bigger
sometimes (when i’m hydrated) i can see how much i’ve lost in my face and instead of my checks protruding and being super round they sink in a bit??? it’s weird to see
picking out clothes and thinking “this will be too tight” but actually having it be too big
i get tired super easily but i get out of bed a lot more. before i used to spend all day in bed bc i didn’t want to look at myself but now i get out of bed in the morning and actually do stuff during the day bc i’m not trying to run away from myself
people will notice, not necessarily right away it does take time but even if they don’t say something to you they’ll say it to someone else. and some people will worry, even if they don’t tell you so
A LOT of people ask me what i do to lose weight and i just give healthy tips rather than what i’ve actually done, you find yourself proud of your own weight loss but don’t want other people to stuffer like you have
that’s all i can think of for now but i know there’s more so i’ll add to this as i remember!!!
