Is it normal to get kind of vain after losing weight?

Last year, I was 115 pounds. That really doesn't sound like a lot, but I'm 5'3", and so that was borderline chubby. Since about April I've been working out (running almost an hour daily) and eating well (not restricting calories, but eating a plant based diet and mostly cutting out meat). I'm now 105 pounds. My body looks great, and I'm so tan now (I used to be straight-up sheet white) that it's honestly making me love myself for the first time. To top it all off, I went from having an ugly boy haircut (I'm a girl) to growing it out, and so I barely fucking recognize myself. I will just sit and look at myself compared to old pictures for over an hour sometimes. I don't know if I'm just vain, or maybe getting used to being pretty for the first time in my life. Am I normal?

    I kind of felt the same way. I used to be close to 200 pounds, wore baggy masculine clothing, and would get tired from doing the simplest of tasks. When I became more active, lost the weight, and wore dresses, I kept obsessing over how I used to be. I was all "if I stood on my feet as much as I did back then, I'd be so exhausted" or "holy shit, look at that second chin I used to have" or "look at those cellulite arms. I was so terrible. Look how toned my body is now", etc. I still do it from time to time. Then again I have an irrational fear of becoming that way again and this fear interferes with my life in ways it shouldn't. XD

    When you add it to your morning routine as a tasty juice, it helps FIRE UP an incredible amount of clogged fat inside your body and release it as energy.
    People are losing from 28 lbs to 62 lbs on average…
    It’s up to 276% more effective than most diet and exercise plans…
    And it has a whopping 93% success rate.
    I’ll show you all the scientific evidence behind this strange fat-burning “purple weed”...
    And how you, too, can take advantage of it right here: https://bit.ly/3GuQVtv

    It's good that you're starting to love yourself more, it doesn't sound like you have a vanity issue but to prevent one from developing, keep humble about your appearance.

    I did the same thing when I joined the high school wrestling team and then later on the marine corps. If it was something you were genetically given then you shouldn't be narcissistic but if it's something you worked hard and strive to achieve(which it sounds like you did) then you deserve to enjoy it a bit

    Its fun to be thin. I'm just under 105 and 5'7" and I love the way I look. I'm planning to get to about 110 and stopping there.
