I wear my watch and it slips up and down my wrist. .::SurgeryDate 7/25/12::. 17 ameredithk, sunshine413, paigelarson89 and 14 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristy3k 1,133 Posted April 7, 2013 So many... I use a normal towel after I shower instead of a beach towel. I use a normal public bathroom stall instead of the handicap stall. I cross my legs all the time. I don't sweat as much. I am never out of breath. I can run up the stairs at my house instead of hanging on the banister all the way up. I'm in single digit clothing. I don't dread being in a picture... In fact I'm front and center now. So many more.... I smile all the time now!!! 33 Biddy zz 🏳️🌈, mamie60, Misty and 30 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also always have my leg crossed. And love that can use a regular bathroom. I naturally always walk to handicap first and stop... Laugh... And use regular one. I love being comfortable in a booth at a Resturant. there's space! .::SurgeryDate 7/25/12::. 9 jennibee, paigelarson89, MinnesotaDreaming23 and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ECUJenn 116 Posted April 8, 2013 I went to the Symphony the other night and while I hadn't been to that auditorium in a REALLY long time, I purposefully bought an aisle seat so I wouldn't be as self conscious, I sat down and almost screamed with delight because it wasn't tight! I have a long way to go, but the show was a dream come true and coupled with that? Awesome!

RVinMomma 32 Posted April 8, 2013 I can cross my legs, cross my arms over my boobies, fit in clothes that I haven't worn in over 2 years, dropped a size in undies, walking around without my knees and hips hurting!! 11 Thebowhunter, TinyMamiOf3kids, shyanne and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisamedinafw 53 Posted April 8, 2013 I have become very aware and sensitive to people I am close to who still struggle with these issues. My brother and my best friend are both considerably overweight. When I'm out with either one of them I make an effort to ask for a table instead of a booth so they'll be more comfortable. I remember what it was like to not fit in a booth! 9 MinnesotaDreaming23, Fiusha, shyanne and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
