Is anyone else obsessed with collar bones?

They're so pretty and and I get super happy when someone takes a picture of me and you can see mine. Is that weird? Does anyone else think that? Because when I point at a picture and say "OMG LOOK AT MY COLLAR BONES" everyone thinks I'm strange.

    The place I have lost weight in is my chest and arms. I find myself touching my collerbone a lot. It's been so long since I have seen it, I had forgotten it was there. So no, it isn't just you.

    I am 100%!!!! No shame either lol! For the longest time when I was overweight, I would complain about how seeing collarbones was "not sexy." I was so mad, because even the cartoon Rapunzel in tangled has PERFECT collarbones lol. Yeah, so even when I didnt have them, I was obsessed with them but pretended to hate them. Now, I love touching mine and it reminds me of how much weight I have lost, I touch them CONSTANSTLY jut in an absent minded way.... that and my cheekbones. I always had a chubby face, now its so much thinner.

    LOL, the first time I lost a lot of weight I was so thrilled to see my collar bones. Now I'm back on the diet bandwagon and I just remarked to my sister the other day that I couldn't wait until they were visible again!

    Even at a BMI of 31, 40 pounds over where I'd like to be, I never lost my collarbones. When I was at my adult thinnest, they were really prominent and kind of disturbing, even though iI was only just inside a "normal" BMI (I was at 24.8, I think).

    So I don't quite get other people's obsession with them....

    OMG, I thought I was the only weird one who obsessed with my collar bones. I did read on a dating site once that a guy has a collar bone fetish, lol. To each their own. My collar bones are currently in hiding, but I look forward to them popping out again.

    To be honest mine kind of freaks me out. Now that I've lost some amount of weight it's really becoming visible. Yet my belly, chest, saggy fat all over the rest of my torso is still there. So I look all scrawny between my collar bone and shoulders and yet all fat and saggy elsewhere. So yeah, kind of bugging me.

    No. lol! I had an ex boyfriend that, when we were dating, he was OBSESSED with mine. It was a turn on for him, weirdly. Now, after I lost my 50lbs, I can see mine, yet again, and I'm totally obsessed with mine in pictures. haha!

    Totally! And I'm so glad you posted this because I wondered if that was weird! I never could see mine before I lost weight. Now I LOVE seeing them and the definition in my chest. You are SO not alone!

    I'm really looking forward to seeing mine once again. I'll probably squee really loudly and show them to everyone in site.. while dancing.

    I never think about mine until someone points them out.
    But I guess you don't obsess about something you've taken for granted.

    Mine freak me out sometimes. They're so huge and protrudey and it hurts to wear a seat belt.

    They're feminine and you don't miss them....until they're buried in FAT. I saw mine for the FIRST time ever about 1 year ago. That area is now one of my favorite parts of myself. Whatever makes you feel great!

    I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one. I'm slightly obsessed with mine. I'm constantly touching and admiring them.

    How on Earth can a bone be feminine?

    I do like my clavicles, but I pay way more attention to my bf%.

    My collar bones have always been prominent, whether I was overweight or not. I think they're one of my favorite features on my body.

    Yes! I used to be so jealous of people with stick out collarbones, until I finally was able to see my own.
