Okay, one of the silliest things I've noticed since losing the 62 pounds....

Shaving my legs is SO much different. There are bones and angles that just weren't there for the last... ummm ... 11 years. I now HATE shaving my knees.

I might have to put on a few pounds before I shave mine for the race then

They do seem to have more bumps that razors just love to hook on...ouch...I have a few scars on mine to reinforce your point

My sweet teenage nephew told me that my head looks bigger now that my body is smaller.
Isn't he cute?

Here's mine: my isn't as cushiony as before so certain chairs are less comfortable to sit in. And my wallet, which I keep in my back pocket, has been bugging me. Can't complain too much though

Agreed, plus I find myself getting a bit more chilly nowadays (less insulation and all)

I agree with Amy and both Matt's. I can fit comfortably into my dress shoes again. I get cold way more often, and the chairs at work have become much less comfortable.

This morning while I was putting on socks, I noticed a bump on the side of my foot, I cautiously went to prod it and it turns out it's my ankle bone!

It's just not hiding under a layer of fat anymore!

(would explain why I've gone down a shoe size though)

Hahaha. Too true about the shoes. I have a couple of pairs that don't fit anymore because they are too loose around the foot area. I had forgotten about that! Sadly, it's my nice, more expensive dress-up shoes that don't fit. I guess it doesn't matter too much, we never go anywhere anymore.

Ahh yes, ankle bones. Those are good to see. Another thing, when I barefoot and I lift up my toes, I can now see the "fan" my tendons make again.

The bench tables at restaurants now have way more space for me to sit in than they did last year... I was even able to share one bench seat with me, my 2 year old and my almost 5 year old.

Amen to that! I used to go out in the snow in my shorts, that doesn't work anymore!!

And i used to have to buy larger show sizes so i could fit my fat feet into them, not anymore!

I was able to comforatbly sit with two other people on a love seat (made for two people) and we were comfortable!

I am always frozen...but don't want that layer of insulation back!

I don't understand how thin people don't wear thick jumpers and walk around hugging hot water bottles all the time!

I'm freezing all the time!

we went to buy new wedding bands since we lost them a few years ago.
i was fully expecting to have to send it off to get it stretched since they only sell one, maybe two sizes.
i tried on the 7.5 that they carried and it almost fell off.
didn't think my fingers were quite that fat. lol

i am colder a lot colder now too.
