You know you lost weight when

After a month and two weeks and almost 40lbs down:

When you start to know what being cold feels like!

[DirtyyMelodies 47]

When you volunteer to take the seat next to a large person at the theater – because you know how uncomfortable they feel, and at your new size you can squeeze over to give them some extra space.

You're a good person. Mad respect.

Today is my 39th birthday. My cousin bought me clothes as present. She asked me to try on a tunic. I look at the tag and see a size L regular. I thank her and follow it with "I'm sorry I won't fit this".She responds with "just try it".Not only did it fit but I'm swimming in it. My head has not caught up with my weightloss.

Happy B'day to yoouu!!

Thanks

You don't dread going to the Dr (actually look forward to hearing about your results) and don't worry have to look for the lightest clothes in your closet so you can shave a few ounces off ????

...you go to the doctors and have to put on a gown for x-rays and its the regular size not the XXX LG size.

The restaurateurs call up to cancel their vacation plans after you walk past their businesses on your power walk.

ohh boy Do I ever know this issue. I have never had issues with being cold. Now I am freezing my butt off. I use to wear shorts and tank tops in the snow without issue. Now I am brrrr all the time.. Can't wait for summer... Maybe I won't struggle with the heat anymore that would be nice!! I think it's time to actually buy real winter clothes isntead of the few pieces of winter clothing I have... ( that are too big of course) LOL

When you can borrow clothes from your mother who is one of the smallest people you know (and you haven't fit in her clothes since you were like 10!!!!!!)

When your husband feels around your queen size bed to see if your still there because your not pushing up against him all night long

When you go out in public and catch someone looking and for the first time in your life your first thought isnt "please stop judging me, I know Im fat" but rather "yup, I know, Im rocking this outfit!!!!"

When you visit an old friend and he doesn't even recognize you!!!! And other friends have to re introduce you to him.. ????

When your are walking to your office on jean day and the jeans you been wearing for the last month keep almost falling off! I did not think that I needed a belt. Lol

And when you have to get a new belt because the big one can wrap around you almost twice!

I hate wasting money on belts , but I'm glad they keep getting smaller.

You can wear huge over sized hoop earrings and they don't touch your shoulder anymore because your collar bone is visible now.

when you don't risk hurting yourself to shave your legs

bending around is just so much easier without that belly in the way!

You can do up a pair of high heels with a side ankle buckle without completely losing it and shouting to anyone who is within hearing range that shoe designers are s**t!!!!! Anything to take the blame away from the mound of useless flab that is getting in the way and scuppering the whole operation! Yay!!!!!!!
