I was doing my usual standing-in-front-of-my-bathroom-mirror-and-sucking-in-my-stomach thing and I noticed a bizarre lump in the center of my chest, right at the apex of my rib cage. I've never noticed it before so I wan't sure if it was new or what. I wasn't particularly worried, though, because I had an elective bi-lateral mastectomy as part of my transition from female to male, so I knew it couldn't be breast cancer.
But I figured I'd give it a google and that's when I learned that everyone has this, I was just too fat to see it or feel it before. You learn something new every day, huh? I wonder what other bones I never knew I had because it was completely encased in fat.
This weight loss journey sure is a hoot!
