    My wedding ring can't be resized - so I wear it on my 'middle' finger instead of the ring finger. Better fit. And sports bras make my recently shrunken boobs look even flatter.

    I get drunk really, really fast, I'm always cold and constantly having to buy new clothing is getting really annoying.

    I think the money I save on alcohol gets used on clothing. I really have no work slacks. I saw myself in a full length mirror yesterday at work and it looks like I am wearing pajama pants instead of work slacks. But going to the store(s) is such a PITA. I have to waste time trying on 600 different things. I am 5'5", so every pair of pants is either too long or too short 90% of the time. Plus the cost if I can't find anything decent at Goodwill. Shoot me now, I hate clothes shopping.

    Ooooh this is a tough one. Everything is actually EASIER now that I've lost 150 pounds. Let's see....

    I hate it that I can ride in a hot-air balloon or on a carousel now. Having fun SUX! =)
    I hate it that my size 44H bras don't fit anymore.
    I hate it that my chest doesn't reside on my steering wheel when I drive anymore.
    I hate it that everything in my closet FITS.
    I hate it that my son doesn't call me "Sully" anymore (from Monster's Inc.)
    I hate it that salespeople make eye-contact.
    I hate it that people hold the door open for me now, instead of pretending they don't see me.
    I hate it that my driver's license has my true weight on it.
    I hate it that I can go horseback riding again.
    I hate it that I'd prefer to go for a run than eat cookies on the couch watching "Biggest Loser" anymore.
    I hate it that I can't be considered as an applicant for "Biggest Loser" anymore. I never DID finish my application video when I COULD qualify for it, though so I guess that one doesn't really matter. I cried all the way through the making of 1/2 of it.

    OK, seriously, I can't think of anything I actually dislike about being a healthy weight!

    I keep slamming things into my new hip bones. There was padding there before. Now I'll just whack myself and it hurts.

    YAY! Good for you! I looked at my driver's license the other day and realized that I am lighter than the weight that I listed (yes, of course a lie) by more than 20lbs!

    Might sound strange but I really hope I can experience all if this one day in the near future

    Shaving problems--my knees are all tendon-y and my armpits are kind of hollow and it's difficult to shave properly without cutting myself.

    And I'm always cold.

    And my sit bones start to hurt from sitting on hard chairs or bleachers.

    I can relate to the armpit problem. I just can't seem to get it all or I have to keep trying and then break out with razor burn.

    I have this problem too. It's very weird. I guess people who were thin when they started shaving just learned how to do it that way. Same thing with sleeping with knees staggered at night so the bones don't rub.

    -Having to hot wash your clothes so they fit and risking them going a weird shape.
    -Always losing weight where you least want to/looking a bit unbalanced during those in between weights. (Would the below the belly button half of me please hurry up already?)
    -weird neck lines (tendons?). Not sure if this is just me.
    - pms and overeating becomes painfully visable to the eye (pot belly)


    It's all worth it though!

    I don't get the shaving issue... I just pull on the muscle in front of it to make the skin flat and shave that way... if that makes sense.

    I've had several friends distance themselves from me. We used to get together over lunch or drinks. I think that my ordering a salad with limes for dressing instead of the taco/enchilada platter forced them to look at their unhealthy choice and made them uncomfortable. I always made a point not to come across as "better than them" but there became a define tension as I lost weight and got healthier.
    Improving one self can get lonely at times.
