Who'd have Thought?

[SuzeMuze 338]

Things I never thought I'd say...but I did recently:

"No, seriously... I don't want a bite."

"One more size and it's goodbye Lane Bryant!"

"I don't want to watch TV... I want to get on the treadmill."

"Wait, let me look up the nutrition facts on MFP!"

"I don't want a Coke Zero, thanks. Water's fine."

"How much Protein does that have?"

"I want a salad for dinner tonight."

That moment when you realize your WLS must be working:

...when your own mother jokingly tells you you look terrible & you need to get new clothes.

...when you bend over and fall out of your bra.

...when someone you haven't seen in a while asks a mutual friend if you've been sick because you look so different.

...when your old favorite pair of leggings makes you look like D. van Dyke in Mary Poppins during the carousel scene (when he yanked his pants onto his hips to mimic a penguin) because the crotch hangs so low now.

...when you don't hear that "shh, shh, shh" sound when you wear pantyhose under a dress.

...when you see collarbones/neck hollows and hip bones you haven't seen or felt in years.

...when someone's arms reach all the way around you when they hug you.

Or when you get on an airplane and low and behold you now have 6 inches of seatbelt left and don't have to ask for an extender.

Or when you sit in a booth at a restaurant and you not only fit but have a lot of extra room.

Or when someone takes a picture of you and your shocked by how thin your face looks! I love being shocked! And taking pictures now.

Or when your husband tells you to slow down you are walking to fast. Or you have to turn around and ask if they are ok because your cruising and they cannot keep up!

Thanks for starting this thread! It reminds folks do all the good things going on in their lives because the made a decision to have weight loss surgery.
