Unexpected side effects of losing weight.

My nose got bigger. And I seem to be taller in the kitchen and shorter in the car??

In high school I used to think my nose was big. Then forever it looked just right for my face. Now my face is shrinking and my big nose is back!

I have never been able to reach stuff on or above a certain shelf, now (with my big stomach shrinking) I can reach it! But I had to move the seat up in the car, who moved the peddles? Oh wait, my butt is smaller!

Anyone else?

I'm always cold... I'm so cold it seems from the inside out. Everyone around me is now boiling and I'm freezing my butt off. Could it be more than loosing weight? Maybe I'm lacking a vitamin ?

I lost a whole size and went from wide width to regular in my shoes. My boobs left and I'm always cold now but I'm not complaining!

I am always cold all the time too. I lost my boobs:crying:. oh well cant have it all I guess. Too bad we cant pick the places we want to lose the weight.

on the good side.... I have lost exactly 80 pounds since the date I called to schedule to be banded. I was 308 in oct 2008 and tonight I weighed in at 228:thumbup:

I have gone down a full shoe size!!!

My son can put his arms around me --- I will NEVER forget the day he did that for the first time!

None of my clothes fit me, and my pants seem much longer....

and the FUNNIEST of all.... I don't "punch" my husband anymore when I am putting on my seat belt... I used to have to stretch it out soooo far that sometimes I would smack him (accidentally...) The other day he said, "Look, you don't punch me anymore when you put on your seat belt!"

I finally recognized the distance between me and the steering wheel just the other day. And to think that my big old belly used to brush against it when I drove!

I've also lost one cup size and one shoe size. I've stopped buying shoes online because I can't figure out what size to order any more.

OMG! This post has me in tears -cracking up @ all the stories!

I can tell you ALL of these stories I have experienced!!!

I have shrunk, my pants have grown extra inches, My butt has shrunk, so I have had to move my seat up... clothes out the door( i have started to shop @ thrift stores for the simple fact that buying new clothes is breaking the bank!) but saddest of all is that the "girls" are getting to know my KNEES not just my belly button!!!

I had to change the seat settings to almost all the weight machines I occasionally use. I switched to free weights and one day I decided to use the machines, I set the seat to the proper number for the calves and could not reach the pedal thing - I had to lower it two numbers just to reach!
