Shit nobody told you would happen if you lost a heap of weight, a thread:
1. You can& #39;t sleep the same. I used to sleep on my stomach, & my fat spread out beneath me like a very comfy cushion. Now that cushion is half gone, finding a comfortable sleeping position is IMPOSSIBLE

2. Your pants are ALWAYS falling down. This goes extra for women who have big hips, since we need to buy a size up to fit our doublewide ass and hips but our waist is often getting smaller faster than the back load. Belts hitch up & stick to your skin over the pants. It SUCKS.
3. You can now fit in chairs with sides on them with no pain! Yay! Except now that you can fit after years of needing sideless chairs you keep. fucking. bashing yourself on the sides. You have bruises everywhere. It& #39;s bullshit.
4. This one for deprogrammed food addiction: food isn& #39;t exciting anymore. This is probably the hardest one. Food was always a comfort, something that brought me peace, happiness, joy, in a fairly joyless life. Now, it& #39;s just another damn thing I have to remember.
5. Exercise still sucks. I always dreamed of the day I& #39;d finally get those endorphins that everybody raves about, but they never came. It still hurts, it& #39;s still awful, it& #39;s not magical or fun just because there& #39;s less to move around.
6. Your metabolism will tank. You need to take breaks from calorie restriction & boost calories/maintain weight for periods. Yes, waiting is frustrating, but the human body is not designed to lose weight. You are literally fighting your body& #39;s instincts. You have to be kind to it
7. People who have never praised you for anything else in your life will finally praise you. It& #39;s fucking gross. It& #39;s unnecessary. It might feel good for a fleeting second before you realise it& #39;s really not. Try to ignore them, and remember why you want to do this for yourself.
8. They will also often try to sabotage you. Yes, people who love you. No, they won& #39;t always realise they& #39;re doing it. If your family has an intense food culture (like mine) they will feel sad that you& #39;re opting out of it. That is their problem, not yours.
9. Clothes still won& #39;t fit right. This is a HUGE one: I always assumed clothes would magically become my best friend the smaller I got & all those years of crying in dressing rooms would fade away. No. Women& #39;s bodies are all different shapes and sizes-
