Any feel their head has shrunk after weight loss?

This may kind of sound crazy, I do know I've certainly gone down a shoe size, but my old hats no longer fit me too well, they no fit tight and they sometimes fly off, like they are now all too big for me now.

Har!
I have some old hats that never fit well and now fit or are bordering on too loose. The notion of scalp fat is... odd. But if you consider losing some fractional amount of fat around the entire circumference of your head, it makes sense.
Do you wear rings? Are they starting to slide around?

When you lose weight properly, you lose it for all over, that's just how it works!0

My head is most certainly shrinking. I have a big head as it is due to being born with Neurofibromatosis, but there is a lot of fat on my scalp/upper neck. I've noticed my sausage neck has become more of a cocktail weenie than the bratwurst it was in November.2

Yup. At some point my glasses started sliding off my nose, loose around the sides of my head. And ditto on the shoe-size loss. It's kind of amazing.0

Yup. And my eye prescription changed. My eyesight improved! Don't know if it is related.0

I had to tighten my bicycle helmet by a couple of notches which doesn't make sense to me. I guess I had a fat head!0

My neck is definitely smaller, but I am not sure about my head. I guess we'll see when I put my ball cap on at spring training this weekend because I haven't worn it since last March!0

I did not know that fat feet were a thing. I hope I go down a shoe size.0

I can't wait until my neck is smaller. My necklace's wont look like chokers. I'm excited for hip bones and collar bones!!!0

Did you measure your neck when you first started losing weight? I'm glad I did, as I know for sure my neck is 1/2 inch smaller in just 2 months! Collarbones are sticking out already so hope the hipbones aren't too far behind!0 -
I look like a human bobble head0

Absolutely. Right now my glasses keep sliding down my nose, the never used too!
My face was always very round, now it is not and I actually have cheekbones!
I had fat under my jaw, now its all but gone.
I used to have a crease around the back of my head that has now disappeared.
I was quite shocked by just how much was on my head to be honest!

If there is fat in your face then yes I guess it would shrink.0
-
My neck is smaller, but not so much my head. What did surprise me is that my feet got smaller.0

MFP members actually get brain swelling out the yazoooo!
I personally have no brains any more as the fat cells depleted so did my brain cells....OL0 -

Heh, I'm guilty of this. For me, it is just I have never been a normal weight that I can remember and I am in my 30s. So it is sort of weird having positive attention to my body instead of negative. I have it mostly under control...I think...
I guess my head had to have shrunk because my face is obviously so much thinner. I used to hate looking at myself with wet hair in the mirror because it highlighted how bloated and fat my face looked. Now I notice I look fine with wet hair and it doesn't embarrass me anymore.1 -
Yes. It was dropping a shoe size was a big surprise for me. My toes now look like cigarettes vs cigars.
At my age I was surprised how fast I lost my double chin and now have lost the skin of my double chin. The first of the year I started to let my beard grow to hide my double chin skin. I like the beard because it keeps people from commenting about how I am looking thin. The down side when I whack my head it hurts more now without the padding. The wooden kitchen table chair that I am sitting in now has a pad in it because I have loss about all of my natural butt padding. I love what this new eating lifestyle is doing for my health in the way of lower arthritis pain and reduced risk for things like diabetes and cancer. I continue to read and learn more daily. Just got a good grasp of why I need K1 and K2 as well as Vitamin D3 to help prevent diabetes and cancer. It is amazing what doctors are doing in other countries and I can get what they are using at CVS, WM, Amazon and Ebay for less than it now cost to smoke cigarettes or load up on junk carb based desserts. Dairy Queen may miss me but I sure do not miss them in my case. In my case just dropping my pain levels was worth it all but now being more mobile and wearing clothes that the wife stored away long ago is awesome. 1 -

Cocktail weenie, that made me lol0 -
I feel like head has looks bigger than before haha.0

My hubby calls me Dot! cos my face has gotten so small apparently! like a dot/full stop.0

I think swelling could be a factor in addition to weight loss. This goes for shoe size and hat size alike. Eating better usually involves eating more anti-inflammatory foods and less salty/water-retaining foods.
Take it from my boobs, lol. They know.0 -
I had to adjust all of my ball caps. Some I blame on having lost hair along the way, but it's growing back in and thickening up and the ball caps are still adjusted smaller than they were a year ago.

I know my scalp had tighten up. It was very loose......that doesn't sound good...lol0
-
I know this is really strange but because my face got thinner I feel like my teeth stick out more or something. I know. It's ridiculous.0
-
Yes, that is definitely the case for me. I first noticed it with facemasks fitting a lot looser and sliding off when I talk and now it's the face-shield band that I had to tighten a few notches over the past few months. My boots and socks feel very loose.1
