The worst being "this is no discrimination because fat people can lose weight".

Bruh, that's like saying "If you feel discriminated because of your religion you can convert to another one"...

right

I'm becoming more and more comfortable in my skin

I can bend over and tie my shoes.

My reflection in a mirror isn't shocking in a bad way anymore.

Clothes are fitting better and better.

Pecker is back.

I'm lifting weights again

I fit my motorcycle better.

I feel pretty damn good.

I miss seeing junior without looking in the mirror. .. Be glad to lose this belly!

Being less than 1/3 the man I used to be.

Not feeling guilty about food choices. Not feeling judged for food choices. Not dieting.

Having to convince restaurants that their food was great even though I ate so little.

Not knowing my weight for a completely new reason.

Being able to do things most people take for granted.

Running 5 marathons.

Confidence!! I feel so much more like myself. Before I felt insecure and I realize I had become a different version of myself when I was bigger. It’s shocking how different people treat you. I was invisible before and now I get all kinds of looks, smiles, nods, doors opened.. it’s wild! People just strike up conversation with me in grocery stores, at Doctor offices and that NEVER happened before. Also my husband asks me for date night weekly now. It’s not a dig on him, because he still took me out diligently once a month and his love hasn’t changed. But man, it’s like I’m dating my husband all over again and that is worth everything to me. I love his extra attention!

All kidding aside, it's quite horrible, what fat can do down there. Terrible feeling.

Since you opened the door, Bufbills: That was indeed a surprising (and welcome) side effect of surgery!
