notjune1's Journal, 24 August 2015

I am really trying to focus on my mini goal to get to 169 by this weekend, or at least by the end of the month, and not be discouraged at the uptick on the scale.

I have been noticing I have BONES lately....it's almost jarring at how I can feel a skeleton under there after years of having so much "padding" in places.

I can feel bones in my chest, collarbones...I can feel my ribs and my hips startle me every time. I can see a defined kneecap and wrist. It's a little weird.

I've been trying to explain this to my husband, but he doesnt get it. Anyone relate?

Absolutely.... most of us can. To discover ribs and hips is a thrill. Enjoy it. You earned it.

It's like being in a stranger's body at times.....it's a weird sensation.

I lay a certain way in the bed, I hit a spring or something and it hurts, because for years I have plenty cushioning on my butt, side, and back, and now I dont.

yes,, I can always see the fat around my wrist when my weight is up and then when I lose I can see my wrist bone its so cool . I have a friend who believes she would always have thick wrist even if she were to lose weight,, I try and tell her otherwise but she refuses to believe me.. she believes she is " Big Boned" !!! is that really possible ?

I remember way back when ... after having a baby and then everything shrinking back into shape ... and then after some dieting .... seeing those hip bones. It's a thrill. I haven't had that thrill for quite a while. *sigh* I can relate and I am very proud of you!

Big boned is real. I am "big boned". I can see my wrist bones, but it's still large. It's possible lol

My son was upset when I lost weight several years ago because I wasn't as cushy! I told him I still have a cushy heart!!

You have lost over 100 pounds so I can totally understand why it feels unreal to you! Congrats!
