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.

Do your feet really shrink?

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

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

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:

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.

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
