What has changed?

I had a post similar to this about 80 pounds ago, but I like to measure my weight loss in different ways so I'm trying it again.
In the past two years, I have lost 132 pounds. Needless to say, my life has changed drasticallly. However, it's the small things that I treasure the most. For example, I now own three belts. I have developed an obsession with high heeled shoes. I no longer have to worry about fitting into chairs at restaurants. I am working out and ENJOYING it! I go shopping just to try on clothes.
What changes have you noticed with your weight loss?

Ok, I haven't really thought about this in any length though, so let's see:

I'm more self-confident. I thought I was confident before, but I felt I had to continually prove myself. Make sense?

However, I'm sometimes embarrassed by people's reaction when they see me - Look, I'm nothing hot or anything, so when people get all overwhelmed, I get embarrassed. Especially knowing the skin flab I still have under all these winter clothes.

Last summer, I was feeling ok finally buying and wearing a bathing suit, after MANY years, and this spring I'm already dreading having to buy another, and what it will reveal.

My skin has changed, a lot! I'm hoping it's mostly due to the weight loss, but heck, I'm no spring chicken either. My face seems more aged now, wrinklier. (Anybody got that Fountain of Youth handy?)

Well, despite my not-so-jolly reply, I don't regret this at all! I've been doing more the past 13-1/2 months than I've ever done, and it's only benefitting everyone else around me! I am much happier! Sounds like you are, too!!

Congrats on your success!!!
