An unexpected benefit of losing weight

Bobby_Clerici

Right, fat people, if they're like I was, heat up like a roasted marshmallow.
It used to be tough.
Once I shed the lard, summers were great. And now that I got my physique back, it's even better.
And I can actually go shirtless without getting laughed at.
Life is different.:drinker:

That's awesome! Congrats!
I was freezing last winter and early this spring after losing about 30 lbs or so. Now I'm down 41lbs and I much leaner and have added quite a bit of muscle. I'm wondering how cold I'll be this winter? We should all buy stock in Under Armour Cold Gear lol.
Yay for less fat and less heat. You can always add clothes but it's not always legal to remove them! haha Way to go!

My unexpected benefit would be that by loosing weight, I'm treating the rest of my body better too. I brush my teeth three times a day now, I'm more careful about my skin, and I love to pamper my hair! Treating myself to better food and more exercise in turn makes me treat the whole me better.

and I've noticed that too. Dropping almost 30 pounds makes me like the heat more.

It SUCKS in the winter, but yeah, in the summer it's nice.

I'm imagining that this might be a cold winter for me.

I would LOVE to be colder in the winter...the combination of the extra weight and hot flashes makes me wear t-shirts most of the winter. I haven't been able to wear a sweater in years. I am hoping that when I drop all the weight, I will be able to finally wear sweaters again. Maybe even crochet one for myself....that would be real nice.

I'm willing to bet on you and say that you WILL be weari sweaters again soon.

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one getting a bit chilly even on the hot days.
