    Default You know you"ve lost weight when........

    You know you've lost weight when:

    My hubby referred to me as sexy
    My bath towel fit all the way around me
    My butt fits better on my motorcycle seat
    A co-worker called me skinny
    I didn't fear the plastic chair at a cook-out
    I clipped my toenails without holding my breath
    My shoes are too big
    I now shop in stores without "PLUS" size

    ETC............

    I'd like to hear from others, what made you realize you've lost weight &/or inches.

    Default Re: You know you"ve lost weight when........

    * Everybody at work notices and either looks (stares) at me and/or asks questions
    * One of my coworkers is an absolute nightmare because I'm no longer "fatter than her". Last Friday when I wore my brand new American Eagle jeans she nearly had a cow
    * I can carry my niece around on my back and she's happy
    * I've almost lost an entire person. My friend at work is 129 pounds and right now I have 3 to go. After that I have lost an entire Theresa
    * I can cross my legs like a "lady"
    * I can shop wherever I want (to the detriment of my budget lol)
    * I look at myself in the mirror and love what I see.

    And so much more!

    I think this is my favorite thread. I haven't had surgery yet, I'm just at the beginning of my journey. I HATE the way I feel as I've been gaining weight and can't wait to add my own lists to the rest of yours!!

    People notice me. I don't mean people I know but strangers. Suddenly I am not an invisible fat woman.
    I fit in airplane seats
    Packing for travel is so much easier now that my clothes are smaller
    I don't sit all day, I am constantly up and moving
    My soul is not limited by my body. My body is contained in the limitlessness of my soul. ~ Jim Carey

    Default Re: You know you"ve lost weight when........

    When i can shop my own closet for great clothes that finally fit again
    When the donation bag of too big clothing is too heavy for me to carry
    When I don't have to wear granny panties!!!!!
    When the coworkers are getting jealous
    When the guys at work are noticing
    When walking up and down the stairs isn't a chore
    When you hear oh my God, look at you.. and it's only been 2 or 3 weeks since ya seen them last.
    When my feet don't hurt so bad after a long day of working on them
    When you look in the mirror and love what you see and you know when you leave the house.. you look marvelous!
    Your partner finds you sexier than ever!

    Little verbena.. like that fit in airplane seats... Reminded me.. fitting in seats at the amusement parks too
    Not being the invisible fat person.. something so many can relate to.

    When I was helping my son move into a new house this weekend and he commented "Mom, you couldn't have jumped out of that trailer like that 4 months ago and you would have already set down by now and gave up!" Made me smile cause I knew he was right.

    I sat with my legs crossed today, and it was comfortable, rather than having to hold the leg up by my pantleg! Little miracles happen every day!

    I am only two weeks out. Went to CVS to p/u scripts. Sat in chair with arms. Didn't hurt and when I stood back up, the chair stayed on the floor without me having to hold it down by its arms!

    SSC I agree. I graduated to XXL over a year ago and was in an XL for several years before that, I am ready to shop in a different section of the store!
    Can't wait for my surgery in June!
