    Because your body now has much less "cushion" in certain areas [/quote]

    Can I just say your before/after pics show an amazing and really inspiring change.

    I personally find the new "positive" attention insulting. I was interesting when I was heavy but now... Just shows how shallow people can be. That being said you will amaze yourself with the things you can accomplish.

    Exactly. Makes me feel uncomfortable at times how some people treat me and it's because I am fitter now. I feel my size/weight should not matter. I get more positive attention from women and intimidate more guys. My purpose was not for this it was just to be healthy. I just told myself it is something I will have to get used to.

    I hate it when people comment on my weight at all. The one person who never used to make any comment told me I look normal now...

    How cold you get without a thick pad of insulation

    No joke...I'm freezing all the time, and before I used to be hot! This summer will be a lot more comfortable for me, I'm guessing. :)

    I have my fingers crossed that I will have a nicer summer! I usually melt.

    You will lose some friends who see you as a threat! Just let them go.....

    This is sad, but true. Lost a best friend of 5 years because of this. Thought we were going to get skinny together. I guess she needed all the attention on herself.

    why is sitting and laying down uncomfortable?

    I know you're not asking me, but I find laying down uncomfortable now because my old favourite positions don't work anymore - less fat to prop me up!

    All my life I was the "big" sister and now I am the "little" one. The whole family gets weird at family gatherings.

    Agreed! My whole family is on the larger side and I used to be the biggest out of 4 sisters right from childhood. Now I probably only weigh 15lbs more than my oldest sister which has always been the skinniest. I can't get used to it yet.

    I'm curious about this. I'm not handicapped but occasionally use the stall, just like I would any other. I don't think about it much but just do what's convenient. In 25 years I have probably seen one actual handicapped person use the handicapped stall. Is it truly rude to use it if you are not handicapped? Should it be left open at all times, or is it reasonable for the handicapped person to wait for one person who might be in there. I truly want to know and am open to changing my behavior.

    Sometimes a person's handicap isn't visible. I just had a knee scope done and I do have knee issues that will never go away. It is hard to sit (yes with covering the seat) on the shorter toilets so if it is available I may use the handicap stall. My mother has the opposite problem. She finds the handicap toilets too tall.
