What have I lost besides 4 pant sizes?

1. I can't sit for as long because now (at 185lbs) I have a bony *kitten*! Who knew.
2. Invisibility. So much for my nefarious plot to become a supervillain.
3. Insulation. I'm much more cold sensitive now. So much for building a fortress of solitude in the Antarctic.

What have you lost? :wink:

    Yeah, I'm with you on the cold bit. Winter's coming and I feel like I may need to buy some warmer things.

    My favourite fancy black lace bra.....because the under-wire in the centre is now rubbing and poking my sternum bone in the middle of my chest...left a bruise! No more extra padding there. Loved that bra!

    Oh yes....can feel the cold too! Makes sense when I have dropped nearly 1/5 of my body weight from last winter!

    Money! I've gone from a 40" waist clothes to 34" waist clothes and now they're starting to get baggy. I definitely am more sensitive to cold now that I have thrown my personal insulation away.

    My alcohol tolerance has gone to hell, too. Summer 2009, I drank like a champ and held it together. Last night, we went out after work and I had a beer-and-a-half and I was already starting to get fuzzy. Sad, sad, sad.
