Losing weight from places you don't expect (pic).

InnerFatGirl

One thing I've learned along my weight loss journey is that, sometimes, you lose weight from places you least expect to...

Enter - my eyes.

5 months ago, 38lbs heavier at 196lbs, I hated my eyes. They were puffy, droopy, wrinkled and looked constantly tired.

But, it seems, I have lost weight from the area around them, and they're now bright, and alive. The almond shape shows, and they look much better on my slimmer face

Unexpected, but one of the best surprises.

It's so funny that you posted this today! I took a close up picture of my eye last night and want to do one when I reach 10% lost to see the difference. Was wondering if anyone else had done this! Keep up the good work!!

That's awesome! You have such pretty eyes

I know what you mean. When I lost my first 25 lbs, my feet shrunk 1/2 a size!

Now everyone's going to start taking close up eye pics! Very cool.

I only lost 17lbs (I wasn't overweight to begin with) but I managed to lose some from my face which I was rather happy about! I still have this great big round head but it's now not as big!

And just randomly...I expected to lose weight from my boobahs because they'd only just grown to their current size but nope! My body figured out what I really wanted and kept them there! And my legs and butt got bigger which I was also rather happy about.

Oh and your eyes look lovely

I noticed this too! My eyes aren't as puffy and I dont have the permanent bags under them that I though I was stuck with, its amazing how weight loss changes your body!!

Its one of the reasons that people will say 'You look younger' when you lose a lot of weight.....

Its mostly a sub-conscious thing. People don't realize they judge age by specific facial features.

Great job. This shows just how FOCUSED you are. Get it girl!

So funny that you posted this. I went to the dr. this week for an ear problem that I have since learned is related to my weight loss. Apparently there is a pocket of fat in your ear that keeps the tube closed and my body has obsorbed it as I have lost weight. Doesn't affect my hearing but I hear myself through the tube and it feels like I am Darth Vader. LOL

Wow!!! Totally true. Thats so weird but cool. Good for you

Very cool, I love eye pictures.

One place that I lost weight from that I didn't expect so quickly was my fingers. I'm down about 30lbs (with about 50 more to go). A few weeks ago, my wedding ring started to get loose, and I now notice the diamond will end up on the palm side of my hand. When I started this, I couldn't even take it off because the fat had grown around it over the last 5-6 years!

Oh wow! What a difference! Your eyes look lifted, and so much younger! In the Esthetics field, that is where a lot of women want to see a change, and you did it with being more heathy! Now THAT is success!!!
