    Though you'll use less body lotion because your body is smaller, you'll use more dishwashing liquid to cut the grease on pots and pans (if cooking/eating high fat).

    Every time I wash dishes I think about this....it takes soooo much Dawn now....but well worth it!

    You'll get stretch marks everywhere, including arms and legs. Or I did, I hope some of you are lucky and do not.

    I prefer to call them my tiger stripes...

    LOL, good call. Do you have any tricks to camouflage them?

    In the past I've used the jergens self tanning lotion to even out the tone between them and the other skin. It worked, I'm not as concerned with it now, you kinda get used to them.

    The weirdness of buying clothes when you have no idea what size you are. It's such a nice surprise when you take in two sizes and end up needing to go back for one even smaller though! :)

    I remember getting so stressed about this last time I was shopping. I didn't have time to try on and it was an outlet mall so sizes were limited to really big and small. I couldn't figure out which pair of leggings would fit so I almost didn't get any. I ended up with the small ones thinking even if they didn't fit they were only 3 dollars so no big loss. My boyfriend could tell the right size for me though just looking at them but my mind couldn't figure it out cuz I can't see how big my caboose is and in my mind it's still huge, at least then it was.

    You do get used to it though

    Your feet shrink. The one thing you did not expect to happen and you find you need to go shoe shopping.

    The excitement of shopping in normal stores, wearing clothes off the shelf that now fits you perfectly.
