Share your strange/alarming weight loss stories and thoughts, please.

I've been loosing weight for about 2 years now. I always think I'm going to get used to my body, obviously I don't because it keeps changing. It's difficult to talk about the anxieties that go with this because it's an overwhelmingly good thing. I love being healthier! But at the same time I'm sometimes hit with unexpected realizations. Some just give me pause, like wondering if other people's shoulders are this boney or how the fuck you shave an arm pit that's now a legit deep pit. Some frighten me, like I am now physically moveable. A male of pretty standard strength could make me be where they want me to be by picking me up, dragging or pushing me. That was not a concern at 400 pounds. I'm getting attention from men that I have never ever had to deal with before. I have no idea how to respond to the casual, and probably well meaning, "How you doin?" from a random dude in a grocery store. I know these are constant realities for most women, but for me at nearly 40 they are very very new.

I just wanted to share and hopefully gain wisdom and strength from others having similar thoughts and experiences. What are your strange or alarming weight loss stories?
