    My cheekbones reappeared awhile ago, followed by my collarbones and my hipbones.

    It's like the tide of fat is receding and these skeletal islands are high and dry again. :)

    My ribcage is asymmetrical, so now I'm wondering if I might have broken a rib sometime and didn't know it. As unlikely as that seems, I don't remember it being asymmetrical the last time my weight was low enough I could see it.

    I feel like my ribcage sticks out a weird amount too! But that's probably just because I've been overweight my entire life and don't know what normal bodies look like haha. Are ribs supposed to stick out as much as your boobs when laying down?

    I also have a wide rib cage, but it does not creep me out. It just is a part of who I am.

    Same

    I was always a little taller and broader (shoulders eg) than many so it's that.

    I did read somewhere, maybe here, that being overweight can expand people's rib cages as well . But whatever, more lung room for you :)

    I have a Viking ribcage too. Always have had. I honestly don't care; even at my highest weight I didn't care. It's my physiology, and I look bloody strong as a result (and it's thankfully not an illusion).

    My rib cage has almost the same circumference as my hips. My rib cage is huge! Makes buying dresses and tailored garments really challenging.

    I think that sometimes, brains are slower to catch up than wed like. I saw myself yesterday in a glass shop door and was instantly disgusted by the sight of collar bone abd then realised that it wasnt disgusting but actually rather cool.

    Ive list 40 odd pounds and left my brain behind.

    Haha! Same here! I was checking the mirror the other day and thinking my middle was getting smaller, giving me that hourglass shape. It was a fake. While I have lost a lot around my middle, it has made my ribs stick out like a second pair of underdeveloped tits. :p Not the look I was going for. I'm hoping it evens out once I lose some more.
