Positive unexpected side effects to working out?

[honeybee]

When I began lifting weights, I started because I want to better myself inside and out, and I have goals I want to achieve. I didnt expect how happy I would be, how positive I am now. My self confidence has doubled since I began..(divorce can take that away), and I feel like I can do anything! Also, a little side effect I didnt expect was my posture has greatly improved. Being a tall girl (5'10"), Ive always had poor posture, mostly when sitting, but now I feel like my back is a lot stronger, and I find myself sitting erect more.
Anyway, it got me thinking, have you had any pleasant yet unexpected side effects from lifting weights?

I'ld say better sex too. seriously. cause you know you look hot so its much less inhibiting esp. as a girl.

Looking good brings along with it a lot of self confidence. I also find I can handle stress much better.
