You know you lost weight when

[Spicy06 175]

When you are no longer afraid (neurotically, painfully afraid) of running into someone from high school or college who knew you BEFORE you got fat.

A couple of weeks ago I was in my hometown having lunch at a restaurant with my brother, and mid-way through I realized I had not scoped out every diner in the place to see if there was someone I needed to hide from, nor had I entered the place with the slightest bit of apprehension. It was a wonderful realization.

This is one of the things I look forward to when I loose weight. No longer being terrified to run into people I used to go to school with. Not wanting to go out for drinks on the weekend because someone I know may be there.

When you have to make holes in your belt for it to fit

I do agility training and competitions with my dogs and the other night I was at a seminar designed to help the humans with their balance, footwork etc. I wasn't sure what we would be doing or how cold the facility would be, so I wore jeans instead of workout clothes. The class ended with 20 minutes of yoga poses, which I had never done before and on one of them I felt a cold breeze "where the sun don't shine" and realized that my pants had slipped way, way down! OMG -- I bought those pants about a month ago!

1) When you no longer need diabetes, cholesterol, or high blood pressure medications.

When you are admiring a dress, in the resale shop you have been frequenting for 6 months, & the sales clerk says "that won't fit you. It will be too big!"

[InkLover 20]

When the Big & Tall store you've had to shop at for the past 30 years doesn't have any pants small enough for you!

When other guys are complimenting on the way you look...not in a gay way either. I don't know if that's PC to use word gay that way, but nothing bad meant by it.
