Beyond the Scale: Woman Shares Unexpected Realities of Post-Weight Loss Life
In a candid social media post that has garnered significant attention, content creator Natalia Aranda, known online as @loseitwithnat, has offered a unique perspective on her journey after losing over 140 pounds. Aranda, who underwent VSG (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy), shared "7 things I miss about being plus-sized," revealing unexpected challenges and nostalgic reflections following her transformation.Aranda recounted several practical aspects she now misses. "When I was driving, I used to be able to tuck my phone in between the top of my thigh and my stomach," she stated, noting that her phone now "falls in the cracks of the car." She also humorously recalled, "Never had to leave with a jacket, I was always warm because I had hella fat on my body."Beyond the physical changes, Aranda touched upon shifts in social dynamics. She observed that "bodybuilders and gym bros seemed to be in love with me," a sentiment she feels has diminished. More notably, she highlighted a change in public interaction: "Strangers didn't talk to me when I was bigger in public. Now, everyone strikes up a conversation with me, but I'm a little bit introverted, so I don't like it that much."While expressing gratitude for her improved health—mentioning freedom from diabetes and sleep apnea—Aranda's reflections shed light on the multifaceted experience of significant weight loss, extending beyond the commonly discussed health benefits to include nuanced personal and social adjustments. Her post resonates with many who have undergone similar transformations, prompting a discussion on body image and societal perceptions.
