Thanks Joysh! Your pics are pretty inspiring as well

Now that I'm thinner I can wear white shirts and white pants and look good!
Now that I'm thinner I can bound up the stairs!
Now that I'm thinner I can wear those yoga workout pants and feel ok.
Now that I'm thinner I can stand on the top part of the step stool to change a light bulb.

Now that I am thinner...

I can wear swim clothes to the pool without feeling conscious of my "formerly fat" but now skinnier thighs.

I do not spend a lot of time getting ready for work!

I can actually get a cute haircut and get noticed.. ha ha


I can feel bad for my former classmates in fb that always teased/bullied me about my weight now that they are fat and I am not.. priceless moments...

I do get noticed by men a lot more.. I am okay with it.. now that I know there is nothing "weird" about me... there probably never was.. but you formerly fat girls know how low self esteem can be.

Yeah!

Now that I'm thinner:

My darn cute summer sandals DON'T FIT!!!! Who knew you could have fat feet!
I can cross my legs!!!!

One of my favorites on page 10, oh no!

Now that I'm thinner, I can take that very last open seat in the waiting room. I can sit in the chair, between two other people, and stay within my bounds.

Now that I'm thinner, I can put my chin to my chest and see the necklace I am wearing.

Now that I'm thinner, I am happier.

Now that I'm thinner -
- People actually look me in the eye, smile and say hello.
- Sales clerks offer to help, instead of not making eye contact
- Shopping is fun again
- I don't have to wear a belt to keep my pants up
- I don't have to buy pants or shorts just because they have elastic bands
- I don't have to wear loud print shirts to draw attention to my shirt and not my gut

All great things, except I have to wear a belt to keep my pants up

....when driving and look at my lap...I can see leather upholstered seat on both sides of me!

Now that I am thinner I carry my head up high.
Now that I am thinner I can run a 5km run and feel great!

More to add:

Now that I'm thinner, I can see the veins on the back of my hands.
Now that I'm thinner, I can step into pants easily without sitting down!

Now that I'm thinner... I can run without parts of my body clapping together and distracting me! LOL

now that I'm thinner...

I can walk down an airplane aisle without having to walk in an awkward sideways/diagonal shuffle. Same thing goes for walking past people in the bleachers at a football stadium or at a movie theater. They dont even have to stand up to let me go by now. they can keep seated s i "squeeze" by them with my skinny disappearing self

agree

I have to agree. I love seeing all those skinny volleyball players and cheerleaders ballooned up. I actually get to be three one that turns a head or two for a change.
