New Body, New Challenges

20 pounds from goal, and I:

1. Have a hard time sitting for long periods of time, since my butt is bonier.

2. Can't sleep on my side easily, since my knee-bones rub together.

3. Years ago, I broke a collar bone, and never noticed that it's more recessed than the other one. Never used to show.

My friend, I can so feel your pain, but WOW isn't it great NOT to be carrying around the fat suit all the time? :)

lol my butt gets sore now too!!!

Lisa ~ ditto! I like those NSV's TBB! My butt is so boney and my collar bones are showing. My weight loss is virtually at a stand still, but have just gotten into a size 8 Lee Skinny Jeans and a size 6 in slacks! Love it. ;) I feel really good also.

I can't wait til my butt gets boney. Was sleeved on May 8 and have been dealing with a butt so big I could set an extra place setting for Thanksgiving dinner on it! And I'm less than 5 ft tall! The butt and thighs are my nightmare.

I was just sleeved on Monday, so I don't have issues yet - but what about sleeping with a body pillow to help your knees? I've slept on my side almost my whole life - even when I was thin before - but I love my body pillow now.

I was heavy as a kid but when I was 15 my appendix ruptured and I lost about 40 pounds putting me at a fairly low BMI. I remember having to adjust to being slender for the first time in my life and loved every minute of it. :)
