You know you lost weight when



Recommended Posts

It happened to me this week. All of my size 26W-28W, 3X clothes were so loose I could no longer where them in public so I went out and couldn't believe it when everything I bought was 16W-18W and 1X! I am still looking at the tags thinking these can't possibly fit, but they do!

And when child does a subtle brag on social media by telling her friend to step back while taking pix of the two of us...so the whole body shows.

When you mention to the family that you'd like to lose 10 more pounds and your kids say Mom! You don't need to lose any more weight!

And when you wake up in the morning and stretch when you get out of bed and the shorts you are wearing fall off.

You know you've lost weight when...

You ask to borrow your teenage daughter's size 6 lululemon workout pants and consider NOT covering your a** for the first time ever because it actually looks kinda hot for a middle aged woman! Lol. I crack myself up... ????

When you don't bother putting away the sewing machine any more, because you are constantly altering clothes and taking them in, until they no longer look presentable.

When you no longer look for the equipment in the gym facing away from the mirrors, but actually enjoy seeing yourself as your muscles become more defined and lifting starts looking good!

When not only your bottom fits in your swivel desk chair, but your arms and elbows too! (Inside the arm rests that is).

Your pants fall to the ground in public.

OMG!!!! That totally happened to me yesterday! I was wearing a half-slip under my skirt, and when I was on the elevator, I looked down to see that the slip was on the ground. I had coworkers in the elevator with me and was mortified.

When you're getting off the plane, move your hand down quickly and have your wedding ring go flying across the terminal

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
