Things that nobody told me would happen....

400 days ago, I got serious about losing weight to better my health and take control of my future physical self. However, there have been some surprises along the way. It's no surprise that MFP helps focus me on the right path, I'm well on my way to my goals of weight loss, better self image, and lowering medications, BUT that is not why I am writing.

Here are a few of the unexpected effects of working toward these goals:

1. My feet are smaller and I wear a different size shoe.
2. My head is smaller and I wear a new hat size.
3. Belts are fun ways to watch my waist get smaller. I'll need a smaller one soon...again.
4. My watch is now too big and needs an adjustment...oh and my wedding ring too.
5. My son says how strong I am.
6. I can't sit too still for too long.

So what are the surprises that you have discovered on your adventure?

I went down a shoe size too. All of my shoes are too big for me now.
