NSV...feeling yourself....

[gmanbat 5,889]

I don't want to sound perverted but I've had a hard time keeping my hands off myself since the fat came off. No, not in a sexual way.

You know when you had a tooth pulled out and your tongue kept going into the empty space? It seems the brain needs to get used to rapid changes in body image. It seems to want to map the areas over and over until it gets the picture.

I have found myself feeling the sunk in area around my collar bone, my protruding ribs, my sinewy shoulders, my smaller wrists, my thin legs when I wasn't even aware I was doing it. Decades with a fat body leaves an impression. I think my brain is trying to erase it.

Anyone else having to adjust to the empty spaces?

Yes, I find myself doing the same thing all the time. I also will stare at my wrists and ankles, and this might sound weird but I stare at the veins in my arm, of course I am a paramedic so it's not as weird.

Ok, yep, I'm a "feeler"

When I lay down I like feeling where my undies rest on my hip bones..

Now I look like the perv....

Ya, I forgot about the veins. I think of the many times nurses had a hard time getting them. Looks pretty easy now.

Yes, the newly surfaced hip bones. I so loved their appearing. I hated my pot gut pushing my pants down. Now I can go belt less.

Probably not the same but I am constantly playing with my wedding rings. Its amazing how the spin around my finger and I can see the sparkles! A few short months ago they were just shoved on my finger and it was an effort to get them off. Again, its not exactly what your talking about but I thought I would share

I do that, too! I had to change it to the middle finger. I had an expensive watch which was given to me from my nephew and I couldn't wear it because it was too tight. Now it spins around on my wrist, I can put 3 fingers between the band and my wrist.

I'm with Laura on the hip bone thing...I love copping a field over that boney area

I feel my neck..... It has really thinned out!

[namada 37]

I find myself feeling my shoulders and collar bones. Never really thought about shoulders, but I'm amazed how different they feel after losing almost 150 pounds. Still have 70 to go, but lots of changes. I also had to switch my wedding rings to middle finger and play with them constantly. Can't wait to get them sized.
