For many people, it also changes the way they move, dress and experience everyday life in ways they never expected.

"I usually can't sit without crossing my legs, but it was such a struggle because my thighs were a lot bigger. There was no space for my legs to cross," she said, adding that what now feels completely normal once seemed impossible.The woman also spoke about feeling more comfortable in fitted clothes. She said she no longer has to keep pulling her T-shirt away from her stomach or worry about showing the outline of her waist. "I still have stomach rolls. I'm just not that conscious about them, and they're not that egregious now. I love to show off the silhouette of my waist now, which is something I could not have imagined doing back then," she shared.Another unexpected change has been wearing belts comfortably. "I could not wear a belt without it pinching into my stomach all the time. I genuinely was flabbergasted by the fact that people can comfortably wear belts. Then I got smaller and realised it's not a struggle for other people like it was for me," she said."It's such a different life"The woman also revealed how her relationship with her appearance has changed. She no longer worries about stepping out with slightly greasy hair or wearing sleek, straight hairstyles, which she once avoided because she feared they made her face look rounder.Reflecting on the transformation, she said, "These are all things that are so small and so stupid that I don't think any skinny person who has never gained weight or has been in a bigger body can even understand."She concluded by saying that while she doesn't think about these changes every day, they occasionally remind her how different life feels now. "It occurs to me sometimes, and I'm like, 'Damn, it's such a different life.' It's such a different life," she said.Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.
