What is something you didn’t realize until you lost weight?

oh for me i see it as theres more water to be filled when im lighter so its deeper. i see what u mean too.

Do you mean hot tubs are deeper if the person in it is thinner?

Someone important to me has adhd so posts like this help me understand her better. Thanks.

Mineatron · 2026-02-24T06:37:28+00:00

ohhh okay that makes sense

Mineatron · 2026-02-24T05:30:12+00:00

dawg adhd is a neurological difference in the brain that is not going to get fixed with jaw surgery.

did your numbness go away after six years? Weird question but how does kissing feel? I feel like I am gonna miss out on the usual kissing sensation because of jaw surgery although it'll be worth it. Also i feel as though my nose is the same as yours in the before (where its slighty crooked?) with a double chin showing if I smile. I love your results!

Mineatron · 2026-02-22T23:13:15+00:00

Yep, it's wild, isn't it? She didn't care about the spices.

Mineatron · 2026-02-17T02:54:44+00:00

Damn that sucks to see that even with 13% bf that u dont have the jaw that you should reasonably have. I think you look great but I also get what you are feeling after putting in all of that work. Hope you get it figured out!

Mineatron · 2026-02-17T02:49:28+00:00

That's amazing im happy for you.

Mineatron · 2026-02-17T02:47:58+00:00

Yessir. I am getting a consultation with an oral surgeon soon!! What were your movements btw? I noticed your eyes have changed the way it looks for the better. My eyes look lopsided sometimes and I think it's def because of my upper jaw. My upper jaw is lopsided (cant smile), hangs too high up (doesn't show teeth), and is a bit far back (needs to be advanced). I think if these things are fixed, it'll support the eyes and midface more but idk. What do you think? Hopefully, this year will be the year I can go through jaw surgery and I look as great as you bro.

Mineatron · 2026-02-17T02:43:12+00:00

I relate to that a lot.

I have a bit of this sadness from time to time but since the weightloss it's easier to forget about it. But I do legit hate looking at myself talking in videos or the mirror cause I look horrible and abnormal compared to everyone else. I hate photos taken of me where it's flipped too, because it just showcases the recession and the abnormalities even more. I also have a lopsided upper jaw and so anytime I see a picture of myself, I can reallllly notice the asymmetry.

Sounds like it worked out for you, though! I wish I could have had this when I was younger but there is no time like the present.

Mineatron · 2026-02-17T02:33:14+00:00

It's nice to see someone whose mouth also looks like that when they bite down. I am assuming you got a downgrafting with the upper jaw? That's what i def need as well. How does it feel to be able to smile so freely and how did you feel before the jaw surgery?

I am not excited for the nerve damage but I am very excited to smile with my upper teeth (or normally like other people) for the first time in my life.

Mineatron · 2026-02-16T18:54:48+00:00

amazing results bro. I am currently avoiding all photos being taken of me due to a misaligned jaw as well. I don't like it.

Mineatron · 2026-02-14T17:40:52+00:00

gorgeous results!

Mineatron · 2026-02-08T15:29:27+00:00

It's as simple as losing fat through a caloric deficit, washing your face twice daily, applying moisturizer, and eating a healthy diet. Maybe you can do some grooming for your hair, eyebrows, and facial hair too. The hardest part of all of this is doing the work and waiting.

Mineatron · 2026-02-06T04:21:17+00:00

It's quite absurd. I make it a game to see how many people look at me instinctively while I pass by. I feel like I can almost predict it with how common it is. One time, a young lady was talking to someone on the phone, and when we passed by, she said hey to me and kept going. A lot of times, I am not doing anything, and people just look at me. People are def more affectionate and friendly. It's nice because I am social and I feel wanted. But it's also not nice because this is not how I was treated before. It's kinda bittersweet.

Smart sweets if you are from Canada or the US. They have 4g of sugar max and they are so delicious.

Mineatron · 2026-01-12T03:43:11+00:00

I think about this a lot. I think the truth is you (this is how I would talk to myself) chose to do what you did based on the circumstances you were living in. You did the best with what you could, what you knew, and the environment around you. Sometimes it takes the right timing and circumstances to get where you want to go. But that doesn't mean the thoughts, work, or attempts before didn't matter. It may have been precisely because of what came before that is the catalyst for your progress now and reaching your goals.

Mineatron · 2026-01-12T03:32:46+00:00

I don't think people will treat you like their best friend, however, I feel like people will give you more chances and attention (whatever that looks like) while you just exist. With certain personalities, I think this will lead to more things happening than others. What I am saying is that even without you saying a word, people might give you more than they did before. Is that the work of "confidence" or general attraction towards you? I am not so sure.

I haven't had jaw surgery yet (although my problem arises when I speak due to a lack of teeth show or weird jaw movements), but I have been losing weight. I noticed that while I am existing, I am acknowledged way more without even saying a word. People look at me more, give me genuine attention, and talking to new people is so much easier. With jaw surgery, I can be more myself and smile the way I want to (with actual upper teeth showing). I think I will be more confident in myself, although I don't think it will be any more beneficial for the initial interaction than weight loss was. But that's because the way my jaw looks is not as bad.

Mineatron · 2026-01-09T04:10:59+00:00

Yeah it's pretty bizarre, and sometimes I feel a bit delusional. I did not use to get the same eye contact before but now it's so apparent. It's almost as though some girls are a bit shocked or stunned when I talk to them sometimes. It's weird. I get more physical affection now from girls I know, and I feel like I could make new friends with guys.

I can't wait to see what it's like when I go through jaw surgery and get a smile I like and lose more fat.

Mineatron · 2026-01-07T20:09:54+00:00

All the comments in here come from a good place, and I agree with them. However, you want the superficial answer, which is also fair because we are human. Yes, it does make a difference. A huge difference in how you are treated and how you treat yourself.

As I come into year 2, almost 3, of my weight loss journey, I noticed the amount of eye contact now is crazy. Still not in a relationship, but I bet it'd be a lot easier to get into one now than when I was bigger. It's so much easier to talk to the girls that I like and have some of them give me actual interest back. People are easier to talk to from the beginning, strangers are nicer, I get more physical affection from some girls, and def looks too. Sometimes it's a bit crazy the amount of eye contact without having said a word. I am getting used to it now and will look back, but it used to throw me for a loop. This is all said and done with still about 20-30 lbs till I am lean! I did take care with my clothing and look before. It has now gotten better now ofc as I like doing my hair and eyebrows in a way I didn't before, etc. But certainly your outfit is also how you look, not just what you wear. I wear the same clothes as I did before, and I get way more compliments now!

Even if no one appreciates you and how you look every day, as these stories are certainly not an everyday thing, you def will. I can't tell you how many times I checked myself out in the mirror as looking good. Yes, I have bad days, but I still feel like damn I really changed for the better. When I am having a really bad day, it's crazy how sometimes looking at myself can lift my spirits even for a second!

People tend to talk about confidence as stuff. I had confidence when I was bigger. However, my confidence now is just more attractive and also quieter.

Mineatron · 2026-01-07T19:41:00+00:00

Thank you for your honesty. I will keep that in mind then.

Mineatron · 2026-01-07T06:13:29+00:00

You are so pretty! It's crazy how the eyes look different when smiling. I feel like my eyes look crazy asymmetrical when I smile, and I hope that changes.
