I’ve been avoiding one pair of tall boots in the back of my closet. Not because of the style — they used to stop halfway up my calf and leave a red dent.
Today I tried them with thin socks, expecting the same pinch, and they zipped without me holding my breath. I stood in the hallway for a minute, flexing my ankles and checking for numbness or pressure spots. No tingling, no ache.
I’m five months in and down 21 lbs, so it’s not a huge drop, but my calves seem to hold less swelling lately. I’m trying not to read too much into one good clothing moment. Has anyone else noticed a change in a body spot you’d stopped expecting anything from?
And if you track measurements, do you use a tape at the same time of day, or just go by how things feel?
