Obese redditors who lost the weight, what was the most surprising thing you observed after losing weight?

I was very, VERY overweight throughout especially throughout high school. My brother began training my friends & I and I lost a considerable amount of weight & replaced it with what'd I'd call my dream body. I'd see people from my high school & they'd do that squinting thing like "are you...?" then later sliding into my dm's (gross). My social life skyrocketed & I received actual male attention- everything was a total 180. Back when I was a lot bigger, anorexia honestly seemed really unfair & almost attention-seeking to me. Like why can't skinny girls see that they're already thin? They know they are- it's obvious. So wth, how can they go off saying they're fat when they're not. That makes us actual fat people feel much fatter & much worse. Now there I was- looking "incredible" & constantly being reminded of it. I'll tell you one thing, a full length mirror is a bitch. I was looking at E-X-A-C-T-L-Y the same person I was 2 years prior. Skipping to present day, I've put on a few lbs. It was not easy for me though i'm handling it a lot better. Therapy has helped greatly. Mirrors & mirrored surfaces are something I'm currently working on. Obviously not due to vanity, but the negative obsession with my self image. But I'm progressing!
