Do you have any weight loss related silly secret confessions?  

I do.. I Skype with my mom every week and sometimes feel like I watch my own picture more than I watch hers.  On Sunday I was noticing how narrow my shoulders have become and I was enthralled.

I spend an awful lot of time tapping on my collarbone, ribs and hip bones.  They were hidden and 'soft' for a long time and I'm constantly amazed I can feel them.  Plus, I think I do that to double check the weight loss has really happened and the mirror isn't lying. LOL!  And I love crossing my legs now!

Aaaaah, the clavicle thing.  I can so relate to that.  It's surprising I don't have permanent bruises there...

And yes to leg crossing!  I feel weird now when I'm -not- crossing my legs.

I'm another one that is constantly playing with my clavicle. Who knew I could be so enamored by my collar bone? Definitely NOT something I expected pre-surgery.

I do the same thing. I seem to be fascinated with feeling my bones and the indent of my waist. I have a long way to go and it seems to be so slow but loving the changes

We have offices with glass windows, which you can catch your reflection in - I sometimes stop to admire myself, lolol.
