I'm 5'5" so 134 definitely isn't wasting away at all! I'm at a size 2/small which I don't get but how my body works out to that size but I've been there since before Christmas. I must have a small frame? Which is hilarious since I've always assumed I was 'big boned'.
But I do have the weight to lose, I have flab. It's just weird to lose it like that and never put it back on. I assumed I would have put it on right again in January.

I'm sorry about the migraines. :/
How tall are you? Losing weight due to being sick is definitely not the greatest. Do you have the weight to lose? I'd suggest talking to your doc and seeing if they're worried.

I used to HATE trying clothes on. I'd rather just buy something untried and return it if it didn't fit. Now? I'll try on a billion things! What a weird change.
And I get you on the learning how to dress your body. This is one of the reasons I switched to skirts because trying to find jeans that fit correctly was impossible.

Thankfully I felt fine yesterday, aside from some stomach distress!

Cancer is a jerk. I'm sorry that you've gone through this too :/

It's so hard with clothes right now because you can't even trust your own eyes. Holding things up... pointless... sizes...pointless...
We're both getting close to being as small as anyone in our lives has ever seen us and not because we lost 40 or so pounds so it's a lot for others to process too.
My sister manages the Recreation department in a very high end retirement home and part of her job is taking the residents on bus trips to go shopping, to plays, fancy dinners etc and the odd time I will catch up with her if she has time to kill waiting for them and in doing so I've been seeing some of the same people of and on over the past few years. None of them have said anything directly to me but a few have asked her if I'm sick. I tried not to take that too personally lol but as she said that is unfortunately just the first thing they think of at their ages.
And like you I'm now meeting people for the first time who never knew me before and peoples reactions are just different when you're an acceptable level of fat.

Yay! I'm under 300! First time since about mid-2006! So happy! I've got some water-weight going on, so I'm pretty confident that next week will be even better. My six-monthe follow-up with my surgeon is at the end of the month, and I'd like to be down another 10. I think he'll be happy, though.
