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?

I feel my hip bones when I lay down and I tap my collar bones when I'm sitting at my desk. I have also started to feel my ribs. It's odd time to feel those because I have always carried my weight in my stomach area. Even my fiancé comments on how boney I'm getting.

Guilty as charged!!!! In in love with my collarbones & hip bones. My only issue is I've lost most of the padding on my butt & that bone really hurts!!! Lol - ill take it though!!! Congrats to us ALL!!!

Yeah' date=' I was stretching before my walk/run this morning, and looked at my legs. They were looking like the muscular legs I had 20 years ago!! The ones that everyone used to envy. No one has complimented me on my legs in awhile. Maybe they will now.[/quote']

Hey, you're legs look great

I love feeling my bones. Like the weird pointy ones at the top of the collarbone.

I can't even wear my wedding rings anymore. They were a size 8 and fit on my thumb now. I bought some backup rings that look pretty similar and have been wearing those. A stainless steel eternity band from Amazon for around $4 and a sterling silver solitaire from HSN for about $30. I started with both in size 7 and recently replaced with a size 6 - and those are loose. I'm right handed and the pinky finger on the right hand now has a size 4 eternity band on it.

My "real" rings are soldered together so they'd need to be broken apart and then resized and soldered back again... so I think that should only be one probably once. I don't want to get this done in a size 6 only to need it smaller later, maybe. Size 6 is comfortable at the end of a hot, humid day... you know, when the fingers are a little swelled up. Back in March, the jeweler thought my wedding rings should be resized to a 7, so I'm glad I waited.

I love being comfortable wearing shorts in public. I could still lose another 50 pounds but I look better NOW than 130+ pounds ago. LOL
