Oh gosh I hope so... it's still so hard to wrap my head around. Most people don't get it why I don't swoon or fawn when I'm complimented. My mom tells me that I'm "so small!" but I still see this morbidly obese person... it sort of upsets me too because I'm still bigger than her and is already making comments that I shouldn't any more. The whole thing makes me dizzy lol.

Hey there, you look great! I hear you re sleeping with pillows, I have one between my knees when I sleep on my side or I can't get comfortable, my knees knock against each other now. I was doing yoga the other day and one move you are on you belly and push up with your arm, felt so weird and then I realized it's because I can feel my ribs touch the ground, not just my fat protecting the ribs. I did not like it, I felt exposed and unprotected. It takes some getting used to that's for sure. As for people being nicer ya it's hard to accept that people can be so shallow but what can you do? Getting angry won't help. I just say thank you and move on. You are doing great, keep up the good work and enjoy your new mobility! So happy for you! :0)
YES!! I feel this all the time. I put on a shirt and it felt so awkwardly small in my hands.. I ended up not wearing because it was just slightly form fitting and I didn't feel right at all. I feel bones all over, even though I'm still pretty big. My hip bone juts out when I lay on my side even though my tummy flops in front of me. I can feel my knees smashing together when I walk. My legs and arms are covered in small scrapes and bruises because even though I'm lighter on my feet.. I don't have the dexterity or something. I'm like doe taking it's first steps LOL

I love the doe analogy, its so true! I am looking forward to getting to a stable weight so that I can stop the feeling of having to get used to my body changing all the time. Just when I get used to how my body feels it changes and shifts again and the process of accepting the changes starts all over again. I find yoga helpful, gets me in touch with my body.
Oh Seyenna - look at you pretty girl! xo
