The soul is still heavy.
Joking aside, I don't actually feel that much better, more energetic. I think the mind just adapts to the particular circumstances and make them feel the norm. Not sure if I'm articulating it well, but when I was 120kg I was obviously under a lot of strain, but as I had bene like that for a while it was normalised. As I've lost weight gradually so has my mind adjusted so I don't feel anymore nimble, light etc. But no doubt, I am definitely a lot healthier.
