When I first started loosing weight, I found a couple of cans of beans that weighed exactly what I had lost. Pretty soon, I needed a brick to equal what I had lost. Then two bricks. Now I need this portable car battery thing. When I heft that battery, I wonder how my feet survived!
Anyone else do this? Seems like there was a thread a while back.
I was telling someone else that at a WW meeting I attended just before Christmas they asked us all to bring in food for a hamper the next week. The catch was we were to bring in food that weighed the amout we had lost. It was amazing the amount that came in.
I guess I would be almost three 10lb bags of flour.
This sounds like fun! A good reminder of why we're doing this. It comes off so slowly, it doesn't feel like I've lost that amount of weight. That's a fun way to put it into perspective.
I'm always looking at weights in the supermarket and yelling to my boyfriend, "hey, hon! I've lost TWO of these bags of cat litter!" And sometimes I insist with childish glee that he lift them up to feel how heavy they are. I'm sure it drives him nuts, even though he's happy that I'm so excited/amused by it.
Since I bought books today... So far, I've lost the weight of my Constitutional Law and Civil Procedure textbooks combined. (And, as I as hauling them all around, I wondered if my total weight loss would eventually equal the total weight of all of my textbooks.)
I was just thinking about this the other day....I have 4 more pounds to lose and then my loss will be equal to my 15 year old daughter. Every time I look at her, I'm totally amazed and overwhelmed at the very thought of it!
i found some pineapple weights at my shopping centre and they weighed 5lbs each and my loss is 2 of them and a lil more...... they werent sooooooooo heavey but still i was proud ! tho it doesnt feel like ive lost how heavey that was?
Speaking of dogs and cats. My dads dog weighs 48 pounds so she essentially weighs what i've lost, and there's no way in **** I can pick her up! It's crazy to know I was carrying that much excess weight around and didn't break in two.
I've lost my youngest girl who is 5. Instead of losing baby weight, i've lost a kindegardner (sp??). Kinda of funny to think that when i pick her up and carry her around now, that's what i used to carry around everyday!! (oh...and her holding a 5 pound bag of sugar too!!!).
Amusing myself
But yes, I wonder "How the HECK did I ever carry that around?!"
