  • When you can't sit on a wooden chair too long or your butt hurts cause there's not enough padding there anymore.

    When you have to scoot forward to the edge of a booth or you can't reach your food.

    When you can not only cross your legs, but you can cross your legs under a table.

    When you can wear high heel shoes without your toes turning into little vienna sausages of swollenness.

    When your dad starts yelling at you, because he thinks a stranger just walked into his house.
  • When my own mom didn't recognize me at the gym.

  • You know you've lost weight when you and you teenage daughter comes over and sits in the same chair with you at the kitchen table ...and you fit!
    My daughter did that last night at supper! I was amazed one of us did not fly off the chair ! This is Wooden Amish chair ...so not oversized.

  • I put last years winter sweat pants on and I can pull out the waist.
    My 'fat pants' are falling off!
    I start feeling better about myself.
    I like being in public.

  • When you sit down on your low couch for a few minutes to do something and then jump up and are running around the house when it suddenly hits you... I can't DO that. It used to be a major feat for me to get up off of that couch LOL
  • And my best one of all... when the doctor, chiro and surgeon you have been working with for the past 8 months to help you get into good enough shape.. low enough weight... to have the surgery to reduce your absolutely massive breasts... all have beaming smiles on their faces when they tell you how proud of you they are. And when the surgeon tells you he KNOWS he can get it approved as a medical issue with your insurance... and does so!!
  • I love this thread! This one happened to me today...

    ...when you are in a thrift store and walking down a narrow aisle and you are facing a full length mirror. You are shocked that this actually a reflection of YOU walking toward he mirror!
  • When your stomach doesn't rub or touch the steering wheel and there's a nice gap in between now!
  • When your bra becomes so loose that when you have it on, you can fit two fists in one cup.

    When you can sit on the floor, draw your knees to your chest, and keep them there for a long time.
  • When you have to strain over your boobs to see your belly

    Gods....I had my BRS June of 2010. BEST. THING. EVER.
  • When you have to scoot around in an Adirondack chair to align your spine with the openings between the slats because its gotten too bony to be comfortable otherwise. Wow, this one really took me by surprise; those chairs used to be comfortable!
