...about losing weight.
1. Normal everyday things become amazing - I'm amazed that there's space around me in the bath and a chair. Crossing my legs is a novelty. High heels don't cause cramp. Walking is easy!!! Running up the stairs no problem.
2. Your body becomes alien to you - my hands and wrists don't look like mine anymore. They're tiny with bones and sinews instead of little fat dimpled babies hands. When I lie down I can see all the way to my toes (without a big belly in the way). I constantly find lumps because the skin seems to be very lumpy where the fat is disappearing.
3. Bones - didn't really notice them before. Now the bones in my knees hurt when I lie on my side with my legs together. My shoulder bones hurt (no idea why!!). I have collar bones!!
4. Food - not an obsession any more. I've come to realise that I don't need all the "crap" that I was convinced I was addicted to before. If I can do without it for nearly 7months and not one craving, I can't have been addicted.
5. Life - I've finally got one. I was only existing before. I didn't find much pleasure in anything and I certainly didn't want to go anywhere. I think I gave a good impression of looking ok on the outside, but definitely not on the inside.
6. Clothes sizes - I now have an obsession with clothes sizes 
before I would just go to the rack - pick up a size 30/32 (not bother trying it on) and hope that it was big and baggy. Now I don't want to buy a size bigger than I am. I can now understand why it's so hard for people putting on weight to buy a bigger size. I was just happy buying the biggest size they had!!
7. Colour - yes colour has come into my life 
My wardrobe mainly consisted of black, black, black or ocasionally a bit of navy. I'm suddenly finding that I like to buy clothes with a bit of colour. Red is the colour of the moment. Everyone says it looks nice with my dark hair.
8. Vanity - oh yes, I'm afraid I'm becoming vain (not that I think I'm beautiful etc), but now I have to make sure that my hair looks nice and my clothes make me look slim(ish). I know it's naughty of him to say but one of my Dad's favourite sayings if he sees a slimmer in the paper is "aww what a shame - she lost weight and realised she wasn't pretty after all". I don't want anyone saying "look at her. She's lost all that weight and her clothes are still crap"
9. Invisible - people will ignore you. You'll wonder what you've done to them and then they'll suddenly realise who you are (if you've got a big mouth like mine, all you have to do is speak!!)
10.Cold - you will be constanly freezing. It's one extreme to the other. From constantly sweating from all the fat keeping you warm to freezing whent the protective layer has gone
11. Compliments - get used to them
