I've lost 18lbs over in the last 4 months after finding a physical activity that doesn't feel like a chore (roller skating). I enjoy doing it and actively try to improve at it, feeling my body burn pleasantly in new and unexpected ways with everything I try to learn.
At first, I didn't notice how much of a difference 18lbs made when I looked in the mirror. It started when I noticed that my fingers were a bit slimmer and I was beginning to like the way my hands looked. Then it was my feet. My calves were smaller along with my ankles and my feet just looked slimmer. (I draw and paint and like sketching parts of the body but never used my own body as a reference because I hated it. I suddenly found myself staring at my hands and feet wanting to sketch and paint them from various angles).
Then I couldn't stop touching myself.
I kept crossing my arm across my body and over my shoulder. It was something I used to do regularly before I started working out, finding it relaxing to "hug myself" while sitting and reading or watching tv, but I noticed I've been doing it more often just because it makes it so much clearer to me how much smaller I've gotten. I can't stop grabbing and touching my body because I can reach further and find less when I do. It makes me feel giddy with happiness.
