Seriously. It can't be mine. There are days when I am absolutely astounded that this is me, that I actually did it! It is only when I consciously address my "new body" that I realize that it is different. If I don't consciously think about it, I assume that I am much wider/thicker than I really am.
Interesting experience. I was in conducting today, in the class conducting a piece. Our instructor had to get me to open up my embrace more and to use my arms differently. It felt so awkward. I was conducting the same way that I had while conducting marching band 3 years ago. Of course, 3 years ago, there was about 50 extra pounds of me! After class, I asked him if the reason I am having trouble is the weight loss. He looked at me and said, "Absolutely!" He says that I am still in the process of re-doing my "body map", understanding how I move in this new frame. He said that after changing your body, your mind doesn't get accustomed to it for awhile. Essentially, I've had the same body proportions for so long, that my brain hasn't let go of that sensation. Such strange concepts!!
