I do this kind of thing all the time. My latest obsession are my thighs. I tend to stare at them when I’m driving. They just passed a ‘hands-free cell phone use while driving’ law here, they need to pass a ‘stare-free at ones thighs while driving’ law, just for me.

I always have big thighs, even when I weigh less. But when I gain weight, they get bigger, much bigger and disproportional to how big the rest of my body gets. Now, they are almost looking normal, still a bit chubby, but with clothes on, they look half-way decent.

I love how we’re getting to know our new bodies. It’s so much fun!

JenRN, thanks for your comment! It was great to hear from you. I’ve heard from a lot of people who have lost weight who actually lost a shoe size. I wish mine would do that! The only thing that’s changed is how fat they are. Congratulations on your 40 pound lost! That’s fantastic!

I wish your friend all the best through her surgery and recovery and would love to hear how it goes. I would think that her mental and emotional adjustments would be that much more intensified because of how quickly she might lose the weight. I’ll be thinking about her and wishing her the best.
