My butt has finally shrunk a bit. I recently noticed that I am no longer bumping into a cage near my bedroom door as I enter. The house is old and the floor a bit wonky, and if I wasn’t careful I would startle the poor chinchillas. Now I no longer have to worry!
What I have been finding is that the fat is vanishing in reverse order to how it appeared: belly fattened first, then butt, then arms, then legs, then chest, then face and neck. So my face thinned out first, and then my upper chest stopped looking like a pillow. Then I noticed my arms had thinned out, and recently my legs started looking more shapely again, and now my butt is smaller. I really hope to be losing the rest of this belly soon. It took years to put on all this weight, so I am reconciled to however long it takes to remove it.
