It amazes me how weight loss affects so many aspects of my life. I say that even with the years of experience of being fat, then getting thinner that I have. It can still make me sit up and think when I realize that even my daily commute is very much changed by being a more healthy size.
Something as simple and as basic as the size of my bum on the seats, especially the foldy down ones that are sort of the last choice. The ones that you can only use so long as there's no one in a wheelchair in need of the space.
Having to stand used to be a major concern. It rarely happens on my train, but when it does, it's very crowded and uncomfortable. And as a very overweight person, not only was I conscious of how much space I was taking up, I was uncomfortable to the point of pain. My back and my feet would ache and I would be praying for loads of people to get off at the first major stop, to free up a few seats.
Last time the train was that full, I could already feel a massive difference in my comfort level while I had to stand. I was not entirely pain free, but certainly a lot closer to it than before.
