- My dresses and pants have become longer - I especially noticed this with a particular maxi dress which started touching the ground.
- I've had to tighten my belt and have made new holes in between the original holes so I can tighten it a little at a time, as needed. This is a picture from a few weeks ago - I've moved onto the next hole already.
- My clavicles have emerged, yay! And my double chin as mostly disappeared, double yay!
- Noah moves his head a lot on my upper chest when we are cuddling. I'm not as padded so he moves around to find a comfortable spot.
- My knees feel better. We tend to think of being overweight in terms of size and how we look, but my knees could really feel the extra weight I was carrying. They feel fine now.
- It's easier to cross my legs and bend down for things, like when painting my toenails.
- My watch band is looser - for a while it was too loose on one hole, and too tight on the next, which was annoying.
- I'm having so much fun pulling out old favourite clothes that I can fit into again!
- I feel more confident. I also feel less panicked when planning to attend events - I know I'll be able to put together a cute outfit, rather than wondering what on earth I'll wear and feeling unattractive.
Some of the down-side to the weight loss process:
- Being in-between sizes for a while, when one size starts becoming too big but the next size down is still too tight.
- MAJOR hair loss - I had this last time as well and apparently it's normal. My hair is seriously coming out in handfuls - lucky it's so thick!
- Certain favourite items of clothing becoming too big so I can no longer wear them.
Overall I'm quite happy to accept the cons because the pros "outweigh" them (sorry for the pun!)
