When I can bend over to pick up stuff off the floor like it's nothing. :carrot:

You can now carry your water bottle in your fleece jacket pocket and it falls down against your stomach because there is so much room in the jacket... so you barely know the bottle is there.

When you go through your closet and try on clthes only to find out everything hangs off the figure like a mumu.

When your size too small pants you broke the zipper out of now fits perfectly again.

When you find yourself repeatedly digging through you underwear trying to find a bra that is not too big around!!

Karalopez 03-12-2013 09:05 AM

when you try to look at your back!

elvislover324 03-12-2013 09:11 AM

when you can paint your toenails and both breathe and reach at the same time. This made my whole day today!!!

:goodvibes: Me too.

...When you wake up, do your entire morning routine, and are half way to work when you realize your lower back or knees didn't hurt this morning (the first time in over a decade) when you got up.

Because I need the boost today...

- When you don't feel like everyone is staring at you.

I know this feeling. And I don't miss it. I feel so normal now, I guess I just fit in now. It's been a long time.

(This might belong better under confessions as it makes me feel so guilty.)

Not using a beach towel to cover your bits when you get out of the shower! A normal hotel towel finally fits around my body now! Yeaaaah.... :)

When putting on a one piece swimsuit is easy.

I bought a lighter fabric robe for the warmer weather (my old one is fleece) the other day, and I stood for a good ten minutes opening and closing it because I was so stoked it fit!

when the straps on everything - shirts, tanks bras, are constantly down around your arms and not on your shoulders

When you have to bag up five pairs of shoes to give away because they're too big, not toss them into the trash because you've stuffed your feet into them and worn them down to rags.

mandypandy2246 03-12-2013 05:27 PM

Do your feet really shrink?

Radiojane 03-12-2013 05:32 PM

Mine have. I've gone from a 12W to an 11 regular

elvislover324 03-12-2013 05:39 PM

My feet shrunk (lost retaining water?) too, hello old strappy sandals I couldn't wear for years!!

zoesmom 03-12-2013 06:28 PM

When you want to toss your wedding ring across the room in frustration. Not because your marriage is in shambles. Nope. Not even. Because you are getting tired of the ring twisting around and falling to your first knuckle and uncomfortably chaffing your skin. That's a new one for me :lol:

Mission Fat to Fab 03-12-2013 06:50 PM

When you look down and all you can see are boobs, and not the outline of your belly... I LOVE this one.

When you walk up three flights of stairs and you're not breathless.

When you try on an outfit that once fit you perfectly, and it slides down your shoulders because it is too big for you :-D

I'm going to have to get mine resized. I came very close to loosing it the other day because it is too big. I wouldn't have expected it just yet since I have 11 pounds to go but I can just slide it off and on my finger with no resistance. I would be devastated if I lost it.

hehe.. love this one!! we just registered for linens and I didn't have to get bath sheets. Just regular towels.

Em Coconut 03-12-2013 08:42 PM

When you try on that super cute strapless bra you bought without trying it on that was too small, and you find that it now won't even stay up....Never got to wear it, but I ain't complaining :D

NorthernChick13 03-12-2013 11:20 PM

When your yoga pants get less and less see through in the derriere, from being so stretched out! Too bad I didn't realize them before I wore them TEACHING!!

daniellemariexx1 03-12-2013 11:41 PM

when you shadow doesnt look like an egg with legs

Misti in Seattle 03-13-2013 07:04 AM

When everywhere you go you find yourself looking around you and realizing you are NOT the biggest person there!

SoMuchFattitude 03-13-2013 07:49 AM

Yes, my feet have gone from a 9 to a 8.5 - and now my 8.5's are getting a little big. OH DARN - have to buy ALL news shoes AGAIN :lol: DH is gonna love that!

I feel just the opposite, no longer a wallflower, hubby notices guys checking me out, including his bro and I notice girls giving me the head to toe look now. Before I think I was invisible.

Love all these posts

Oh no, I meant in a bad way. The difference between "D@mn, that's a big @ss girl" and "D@mn, I'd hit that!" :rofl: I don't mind being objectified for my hotness now. HA!

elvislover324 03-13-2013 01:56 PM

Loved reading these today, nodded and smiled at every single one. :)

Saga 03-13-2013 01:58 PM

Your wide shoes no longer fit!

I love reading these... always an awesome motivator in the middle of the day!

When shaving your legs becomes a quick and painless ordeal, but shaving your pits becomes a pain.

When you look at the sizes you can fit into now and think they look WAY too tiny to fit, but they DO!

When you try a body weight exercise you haven't tried for 80+ pounds and throw so much force into it that you practically shoot yourself into space.

When you don't mind posting full body pics on FB instead of just face shots, or cropping yourself out of family/friend pics completely.

When you actually LIKE going clothes shopping instead of just doing it because nothing fits and you have no choice.

When you have been walking past a glass door or window and see some skinny b!tch wearing your same outfit and get all sad cuz she's making you look bad, then realize it's your REFLECTION. (Has happened to me more than a couple times, you'd think I'd catch on quicker)

The towel thing!!!

The shoe thing!!!

UrbanHavok 03-13-2013 04:25 PM

When your boots become too loose around your calves!!!! :D

This! I can walk around my apartment in my towel now because it actually fits around my body...with room to spare!

ChickieBoom 03-13-2013 04:51 PM

When rings you'd stop wearing actually fit again.
When you realize that you can fit on a Metro seat without spilling into the seat of the person next to you.
When you realize that you don't have to give other people such a wide berth because you're not taking up as much space as you used to.

AlmostMe 03-13-2013 06:35 PM

Ha ha! My feet better not shrink. I LOVE my shoes. But I think I'll be ok as I'm still wearing the same size shoes I've worn for years - thick and thin-ner.

Jennifer1966 03-13-2013 08:38 PM

When you are getting ready to walk out the door and your darling 18 year old DD says, "you look skinny" because your coat is fitting so much better!

Oh what a SHAME that you have to buy all new shoes!!!

:cheer: :lol: :lol: :cheer2:

When lying in bed at night, you find yourself wrapping your arms around your shoulders... just because you CAN!

Roo2 03-14-2013 11:26 AM

When your able to share your Skinny Teenage daughter clothes, instead of sharing your Hubby's sweaters and sweatshirts.

zoesmom 03-14-2013 11:46 AM

I had to go try the shoe thing out yesterday. I've noticed mine where getting loose, but I figured it was because they were old. I used to wear 8.5 - 9 before I gained all my wieght. Past couple years, I've been in 11's. Yesterday, went and tried some one...SIZE 9-1/2!!!!!!!!!! :woohoo: Shoes are so much cuter in smaller sizes :D

...when your co-worker pulls you aside and asks, "Have you had plastic surgery? Your cheekbones look higher and more defined than I remember." Not like I could lose the weight or anything :lol: At least it wasn't the "Did you do something with your hair" comment I usually get.

Oh yes, the hair comment! Whenever I lose a few pounds my hair miraculously calls a lot of attention to itself.
