You know you lost weight when

When you can properly lay Tefillin.

(My arm was too big for my set!)

Congratulations, that must be such a wonderful feeling! And thank you for adding something no one else had previously mentioned!

I googled Tefillin, as I'd never heard of it -- very cool! I love learning about other religions and cultures, so thanks for the inspiration to learn a little more!

My Husband & I were on a power walk/jog... it had just poured... 1/2 way through the path was flooded out about 15 feet long... he picked me up and carried me through the Water (i had brand new sneaks on & HE didnt want them to get ruined!!) First time he has been able to carry me! i cried tears of joy... he laughed... HAHA

I know this is corny, but your comment made me cry. How sweet he was to carry you and how wonderful that he could!!! You hD to feel like a princess!

This is so, so sweet. I can see myself crying the first time someone is able to successfully pick me up. No one has ever before. I didn't realize until I read this how much I was looking forward to it.

When your husband picks you up and carries to the bed and throws you onto it, just because he can

Also, I'm really close to this one because so I am getting excited for it: when you FINALLY weigh less than your husband, because he has never struggled with his weight. 10lbs to go !!!

After 12yrs I'm finally lighter than my hubby but he struggles with his weight, and I can encourage him that he can make a change

I cried too! Such an adorable story!

You show people pictures of your SW and they don't believe it's you!

When you stop being afraid to put your jeans in the dryer.

That's the most powerful one I've read.

When you're walking around the bariatric unit in the hospital and your gym shorts are sliding off your ass.

When you have always slept on your left side and you need a pillow between your knees because feeling them knocking against each other is a rather disturbing feeling.

When for years you had a hard time finding pants with a 54 inch waist and go to Macy's and can't find pants with a waist under 40 inches without looking at every tag to find 38 inches.

I'm praying for this shopping day! Good one!

When your friends who aren't even fat are giving you clothes they can't fit anymore!

When you go to Macy's and the sales girl in lingerie doesn't pretend you don't exist. Instead she eagerly greets you and treats you like a real customer.

When they make your waist size in fancy jeans with a designer's name on the label over the back pocket rather than the words "pass" and "don't pass" over the back pockets.

When you lean against a wall and can feel your shoulder blades touching it.
