Since I've been skinny my whole life a lot of things still surprise me. I don't know if there's a better way to describe it but I'm simply not used to my own body being in my way when I move. Right now it especially noticable when I reach down to grab things and especially when I tie my shoes. Like I'm not to the point where it's difficult or anything I just have to reach slightly more than I'm used to. I can only imagine what it'll be like when I'm 100+ lbs heavier

Same here! After "just" a 20 lbs (might be more by now, as I've been avoiding the scale for the last few weeks), I find it's harder to get my Dr Martens boots tied up without sitting. I'm getting a bit out of balance and find it very unsettling.
My thighs were already large to being with, even at a much lower weight, because I've been obese for most of my adult life and my skin seems irremediably stretched.
My legs are already almost as large as the were when I was obese (I know because I've had to measure my calves to buy compression socks), so I hope the fat will stop accumulating there soon otherwise I'll be even more bottom heavy than at my highest weight and I don't know if I'll be able to find pants.
It was already really hard to find any in the past because my waist was much smaller than my legs.

Yeah pants are always annoying to find. Even when I was still skinny I had disproportionately bigger thighs than my waist so whenever I'd find pants that fit my thighs they'd be too big for my waist and even with a belt they looked all bunches up. Ironically since I've started intentionally gaining weight my pants have fit me better because my waist is starting to fill in more. All I can say is just keep searching around until you find the perfect brand that actually makes pants that fit you
