i'm big enough to admit my vanity and i feel like people see me differently already. the extra positive attention from women is obviously a huge boost.
i always knew in my heart that the women i find most attractive wouldn't find me attractive because of my fitness level and it was something i had to (deservedly) accept, but to experience the changes firsthand has been extremely interesting.
also all the emotional benefits you talk about. sleeping is easier. waking up is easier. i have more energy to burn when i really need it. i feel strong and vibrant while doing simple things like standing up, simple stretches. i can feel my muscles and know how to engage them more. yoga has become a happy place, both physically and spiritually. i'm beginning to feel myself open up and allow myself to care about life in a different way because i feel more in control of my choices.
pasta ain't bad if you can limit your portion and make a simple marinara or pesto. if you like roasting, one thing i do is buy four vegetables at the store (onion, potato, pepper, some cruciferous veggie), chop them into small bits, roll them in a combo of olive oil + vinegar + your favorite spices, and roast between 400-450 for between 30-45 minutes. it's absolutely fucking delicious. i also eat boatloads of hummus.
