Does it freak you out?

I remember being freaked out that I could fit through turnstiles... they have them at concert events or theme parks, and in Menards. I was walking into Menards with my sister and I went to walk through the cart gate, and my sister stopped me. She told me I was thin enough to fit through the turnstile and when I did, I freaked.

Sounds like "Ghost Pains". I've read of people who were involved in accidents getting them. There was a guy at the foundry I used to work at who lost his arm at the elbow. One day over lunch he started to cuss for no apparent reason. I asked why, and he said his "Damn shadow was itching" (his missing hand was the shadow). His brain was translating some information and was firing it down nerve paths that no longer existed. I don't know for sure, but I've also read that the "pain" you feel when you...say... close your hand in a car door isn't "real". Your hand suffers damage, but the sensation of "pain" is only realized in the brain.

As we gain weight our surface area expands. The brain creates more nerve pathways to use for feel. Now that you've lost weight some of those are no longer used. Your brain does have spatial reasoning. So you're just fine to feel that way. Your brain remembers what position in space your hands used to be when they came into contact with your body. Now that it is different your brain is not yet used to the change, so every time you make contact somewhere else it will interpret the difference as damage and fire off some adrenaline.

It will go away. About the time you are used to seeing the new you in the mirror it will go.

Do you ever feel freaked out by your new size? When I lost all my wieght before I remember some times at night lying there feeling were my tummy and sides used to be, and being really freaked out kind of like I felt like I was missing an arm, or all of a suddon I felt like I had one foot off the empire state building, and the way wind blew past me was also crazy, I remembered being weighed down better lol, my fingers and hands were unrecognizable, I would stare at myself in the mirror and saw a stranger, with all that said I was on cloud nine but some times it really freaked me out, it might be because I lost it really fast I lost 50 pound in 3 months because of my job.

So I am wondering if any body else who has been over weight their whole life and then dropped all of it feels the same way?

(by the way I gained it all back and then some, so I would just say to all you wonderful ppl who have done a great job, keep track of your selves, were like x drinkers lol)
