Now that you are to a normal weight. Hows does it feel to you,Being able to find clothes that fit, and do things like cross one leg over the other with comfort?.. I'd love to hear that "normal" Feels like. The things that bigger people havn't been able to experiance in lets say ages. Thanks!

Wow.... there is soo much to describe.  Words that come to mind.. Fabulous, amazing, fantastic, crazy, scary, whoa, eccentric...

Being able to do "normal" things is mind boggling.  I forget all the time which side of the store I need to be on... that I can cross these legs... its crazy.

I was never a normal size... so all of it is absolutey virginal at times, he he.

It's fun, but it's kinda like playing dress up.  I still feel like the fat girl, even if I don't look like the fat girl.  I still feel like people are gonna kick me out of their skinny stores and roll their eyes at me for thinking I could fit into anything.

I love crossing my legs...it makes me feel really feminine.

I also like the way I look when I walk.  I dunno...I used to have some sort of obese waddle.  I just think my thighs looked weird when I walked or something.  I think I walk pretty normal now.

LOVE fitting in the bathtub with extra room on all sides of me!  I used to be really squished in there!  Now there's just tons of room.

Dress up is the perfect explaination!

Normal just feels... well normal.
I feel now the outside matches how Ive always felt inside - I just go about life like I always should have been if I had never been obese.
There are a lot of things now I dont have to worry about that I did before - its nice to just go about my day and not worry about a booth being too small, a seat holding my weight, finding an outfit for something specific, obessesing about food etc.
