Hmm... so many things! Being stared at and turning heads all the time now, being comfortable enough to walk around the gym in just a sports bra and workout shorts, working out harder than I ever have before (to include running and some bodybuilding), having everyon earound me do double takes when they see me, and of course being smaller than all of those who I thought were in such great shape when I was heavier.. turns out I've passed them up! LOL a lil competitive I guess!

The best thing about my weight loss thus far is being able to shop normally.  To not have to shop in Casual Male Big/Tall, and or the plus size section of other stores is amazing to me.  To be able to shop right off the rack and not worry if it may fit or not is nice.  It's kinda turned me shopping freak, and i've never been like that in my life. I would shop purely out of necessity, but now, every paycheck it's a problem....cause i'm headed to the mall.

On the flip side, one thing I don't like is how long it's taking my brain to catch up to the body.  No matter how much smaller others say i'm getting, i still see a fat a$$ in the mirror with a bunch of faults.  It's a terrible mind game.  I only focus on the faults and not the positives, and that's not good.

Shopping at places that don't really cater to big girls and knowing everything comes in my size. 

I no longer have to pull the biggest size off the rack and hope it fits. Or, pretend I didn't really 'like' something when its too tight.  I can now grab from the front of the regular sized racks  and take my pick of sizes.
