Spatial awareness

[3momchaos]

I’m finding myself running into things more often, and I was wondering if anyone else post op has found their spatial awareness “off”. I googled weight loss and spatial awareness and found a really interesting article about the subject. I’ve always been a bit clumsy, and when I say a bit I mean a total klutz! But this is different. I keep hitting my knees on things or running into doorways. My brain still hasn’t caught up with my new size. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09593985.2018.1441934#_i3

What an interesting article. I found the idea of "phantom fat" compared to a "phantom limb" especially compelling.

I found that particularly interesting also! I sometimes feel like I’m too big to sit on or in certain places.

I pull shirts out of the closet and still think to myself this is not going to fit. Well I put it on and it fits how I like my shirts a bit big.

Oh my goodness, I am the biggest klutz at work they call me grace because I’m constantly running into things, whacking a body part on something, etc. mainly cause I don’t pay attention. ‍ This article is very interesting!!
