thesweetone 40 Posted October 4, 2015 1. You can wrap the bath towel around you and it covers all of you ! 2. You are comfortable crossing legs. 3. Your clothes are all baggy on you ! 4. I can fit my hand around my wrist. 5. You look at yourself in the full body mirror and feel good. 6. You start taking pictures of your whole self and not just your upper body.

bellabloom 2,467 Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Men follow you around in the supermarket. You buy a belt and your best friend shows you that your waist is the same size as her thigh. People call you a "living doll" Everyone keeps telling your the wind is going to blow you away You have hip bones, collar bones... Your butt get sore sitting down because there is no padding. The girl at banana republic insists on getting you a size 0 so it fits right. You can fit in the clothes in the little girls section. You can easily touch your ankle to your butt. You can sit in the back between your kids car seats. The blood pressure cuff at the doctors office won't fit because it's too big. Hahahaha. Yeah. Never thought I'd be this tiny but I do love it!!

Katrinakit 139 Posted October 4, 2015 Lol I had lost a significant amount of weight in my early thirties (which I of course gained back) and I realized the lower poles in the closet were not too low. It's just that my shirts were so huge they had been touching the ground. Once I was wearing normal sizes the poles were suddenly, magically an appropriate height! 1 njgal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starrspunn 197 Posted October 5, 2015 I was at the gym the other day talking to some girls when I said I still had 30 plus pounds to lose and one of them turned to me and said where? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BohemianBeauty 58 Posted October 5, 2015 Wow, these are all so motivating. I've lost some weight, but I am preop. I just started the Classes last week. Hoping to get my surgery in January 2016. I can't wait to be post op and goal weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twittymilk 51 Posted October 13, 2015 When you can fit all the "new" shoes in your closet that couldn't fit your fat feet before. I did not expect my feet to get smaller and it is a wonderful surprise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charmindawson 11 Posted October 14, 2015 I had never thought of this until it happened to me...my eye glasses are too big! After losing 124 pounds in 8 months, my glasses did not fit. I was able to get them adjusted but the doctors office told me they were no longer the right size! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mskami77 295 Posted October 14, 2015 When you have 14 inches of seatbelt strap on the plane and no extender! Not fitting in an airplane seat prompted my research into bariatric surgery. When I fit without an extender, it was a SWEET VICTORY!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
