Unexpected results of weight loss

I put my hands on my hips earlier this week and said to myself, "Holy crap, I have hips?!" - I usually just put them on approximately where I imagine my hips would be, but I can actually feel a little bone in there now!

I've lost over 100lbs this year and I still get new surprises every day! It's so easy to buckle my seatbelt in the car, running errands doesn't seem like running a marathon, and I can go into any clothing store and actually find clothes that fit! Since I lost the weight I don't just eat to eat so the food I'm eating has become more delicious because I'm paying more attention. I sleep so much better since I lost the weight. I could go on forever. I'll never put that weight back on. My whole life is so much better!!

I still see myself as the size I was when I first started and still refer to myself as the "fat" friend. Not sure when/if that ever goes away. But everything else is so worth it and I'd never change a thing!

More unexpected results of weight loss... men have complimented my husband on how hot I am. The most recent case was someone who waited until I left to tell my husband how good I look. This on a day that I was wearing yoga pants, a tank, and a hoodie. I guess they realize it's inappropriate to say to me, so they say it to him instead?

People at work ask me what I've been doing ALL the time.

I've started getting better at styling my hair, makeup, and nails to emphasize my features, rather than to hide my chubbiness.

I've become much more distrustful towards men in public. I talk about my husband more with people when I first meet them.

One woman I know has acted much more threatened by me. She interrupts people who try to talk to me and redirects the conversation to herself and her weight loss. It's not a competition (she's already quite trim).

[Good] men in my life have become MUCH more respectful. Before, I think my weight helped me be one of the guys/under the radar on the attractiveness scale. I was chubby and stuffing my face, making jokes, whatever. Now, the good men in my life have become super respectful. "How's your husband tonight?" "When's your husband coming out again?" "Tell your husband I said hello." It's a very obvious, "I know you're married and I respect that you're married."

Another one for me:

I feel guilt for being a fraud, falsely advertising the size of my chest. [Read: My boobs have gone down from a D to less than a C and I still haven't bought new bras. Some poor man is in for some disappointment when he realizes there is nothing there!]

After losing 25kg through diet and lots of cycling, I recently had trouble buying trousers because the trousers were too tight on the thighs but loose on the waist.

I no longer get shanked by my bras.

I'm considering getting a super short haircut. I never liked them on me before, because I always worried I'd look like I had a teeny head on a great big body. Now I feel like I might be able to pull it off.

Being able to shop in "regular" stores.
And spending a lot of time flexing in the mirror. Weight lifting FTW!
