Like a week ago was like “haha, looks like I’m in a boss battle with the status of ‘fat’ now”, it hasn’t gone exactly as I expected.
What of the belly had been two distinct “rolls” of fat, upper and lower (and at heaviest phases leaned towards four quadrants) had, as I lost weight, ceased to be divided by any crease of skin but I could still feel (and grab) some distinction underneath.
The top had ceased to bulge out from the surrounding torso and sloped more directly, and I was expecting the bottom edge, the only deposit of fat still baggy and grabbable, to follow.
It hasn’t yet but instead what there still was of the fatty top-level mass has melted back into the broader torso, there’s maybe a pad of fat beneath where the stomach rises smoothly from the (quite broad now) chest.
So let’s say that was a mid-stage boss that changes color and retreats to be the stage boss when you beat it.
I’m still overweight \u2013 hell, I’m still fat \u2013 now, but every step for a while now is thinner than I’ve ever been in my adult life, and working out from under a 6-creatine scoop energy deficit I’ve got momentum
