Here are some things that happened and no one told me about:
I lost my boobs - like LOST them. They are down there somewhere. 42DD to 34A. I have to special order bras.
My bottom is so bony that it hurts to sit on hard chairs.
I had so much energy during the active weight loss and ketosis that I couldn't sleep. I was the energizer bunny on steroids.
I lost my food shelf - you know, that convenient bulge where you can put your plate when you sit in the recliner.
I had to buy a whole new wardrobe. Size 24 pants to 10.
I was actually comfortable this past summer in the heat.... but I am freezing all the time now.
I have saggy skin, but I lost my triple chin, my thighs don't rub, and no more fungal infections from folds and heat. My little grandson squeezes my upper arms and says, "Squishy."
I can't swim very well anymore. I just sink. I lost all my buoyancy.
I had to get a new wedding band.
I found new bones I didn't ever remember having - collar bones, ribs, hips.
But on the flip side, I don't have GERD, sleep apnea, or high blood pressure anymore. My HDL, triglyceride, and A1c numbers are awesome. I can sit in any chair in the room, my seat belt doesn't rub on my neck, I can walk, hike, and ride my bike for hours without stopping, my resting pulse rate is in the 40's, I can get down on the floor and get up by myself, my bath towel goes all the way around me plus extra left over, I am one of the smallest people in a room instead of the largest, my necklaces hang down onto my chest, I can buy clothes in any store and in regular departments, and people call me "skinny." Unbelievable!
