Unanticipated "problems" experienced large weight loss.

I would rather have these "problems" than the problem of being morbidly obese. But as the weight continues to drop, I have discovered at least three issues that I really didn't consider as an outcome when I started this adventure. These are GOOD problems to have, I'm not complaining. But just things I have had to adjust to.

1. ALL my clothes have become too big. I treated myself to new clothes about six months ago, and that investment became worthless within two months as the new clothes had become too big. So I have been shopping at thrift stores until I reach my goal weight.

2. Loose skin. I can't afford cosmetic surgery, and no amount of "toning" at the gym is going to take up all the hang-down skin. My solution has been the spanx-type undergarments that keep everything from flapping around, and gives me a better shape as well.

3. Boney Butt. My padding is gone, and I have had to re-adjust my sitting posture sometimes in order to remain comfortable.

What other "problems" have people needed to adjust to as they experienced a large weight reduction?
