not a scale flex but i noticed this during a late raid last night. i used to sit sideways in my chair because my stomach was in the way and my knees were all over the place.

now i can sit cross-legged for a whole dungeon without shifting every five minutes. i've been doing the usual stuff: swapped most of my soda for sparkling water plus those little flavor packets, eat a protein thing before i log on, walk during queue times. down about 37 lbs since january.

the weird part is i didn't clock it until my buddy said my mic sounded less out of breath lol. anyone else have a non-mirror thing hit them harder than the number?

okay this is my favorite kind of NSV. I run a cafe, and my version was being able to sit on the milk crate in the walk-in without my thighs shoving my knees out like a frog.

Also realized I stopped using my apron pocket as a snack-taster station—portion control is my real boss battle. Late raids were dangerous for me too because I’d graze on broken cookies and pastry ends.

Now I pre-portion a little bowl and that’s it. Have you noticed the chair thing translate to restaurant booths yet? That one hit me weirdly hard.
