*sorry for the 'urself' shorthand but I wanted to make sure the entire title got posted*

Okay so I know all bodies are asymmetrical, but when I was heavier, I definitely didn't notice it much (besides my feet, haha). So anyway, now I'm noticing my left arm is smaller than the right, my left lower back is smaller than the right side, and even my thighs (If you couldn't tell, I'm a lefty ;-))! I was one of those people who looked in the mirror *all* of the time even before my weight loss so it can't be that I'm just looking at myself more now. I'm thinking the smaller I get, the more noticeable it is, but I kinda feel like Quasimodo now. :-/ LOL No it's not that bad, but still.
I've also noticed a slight discoloration on my lower back that I never knew I had (cause of the fat rolls that are no longer there).

So, what have you noticed about your body, now that you're slimming down, that you never noticed before?

    I glide between the steering wheel and the seat, instead of wedging myself in to my truck. :laugh:

    I walk differently the more weight I lose, and I stand up straighter.

    I have my chin back.
    I noticed that something was different while doing Yoga, then I realized that my gut wasn't hanging out.

    My arms touch my body instead of my body touching my arms. I noticed that while out for a walk yesterday.
    I can paint my toenails without holding my breath.
    I don't have to hold any fat out of the way while "landscaping"

    I've only lost 5lb so far, but I've become more observant and noticed how asymmetrical my waist/hips are! So interesting!

    I notice something new about my body every day, the biggie was when I started noticing definition in my belly. When I was a teenager i swam competitively 6 days a week and didn't even have that.

    I have chosen to run across streets to beat a light, or cars, etc. without really thinking about it. Half way across, surprised at myself, I suddenly think "What am I doing??? I'm running across the street!"

    Also, I just stand up without bracing my hands on my knees or chair arms, etc. Just an observation I made the other day.

    my right eyelid is a little more droppy... i never noticed it in the mirror; but saw it in pictures a couple times.. i always thought maybe it was due to blinking, or weird facial expression, but now I see it in the mirror too. Now that im losing I see my bingo arm more--excess skin--that im hoping goes away!! I can see my collar bone, and can see when food/water goes down my throat. Ive been told I have dimples now when I smile. my excess fat inbetween my thighs has decreased (but still too much, but noticed recently is has gone down).. i have nice defines calves, and then other than that, i cant see anything different, but Im wearing XL shirts instead of 2-3x, and in a size 22 pant instead of 28/30, and my bra size has went from size 52H to 40J---cup size went up but inches around went down, WTF??!! lol.

    Im waiting for the day i can see my belly button and downstairs region without lifting fat rolls lol.

    I've got a really bodacious figure.
    I always felt really awkward whenever someone made a comment like that about my figure when I was heavier; I guess I always antiquated it with being heavy.
    Now that I'm thinner and fitter, I can actually see what they meant- and I love it now! No more awkwardness!

    My face is no longer round and I can see the high cheekbones I last saw in my youth.
