random side effects of losing weight~ what are yours??

RockandRoseRebel

what are some of your fun, or funny, or even surprising ( or annoying) weight loss side effects?



--- my funniest one, something i never really thought about, is my shoe size has shrunk!!

i used to be a 6.5. after 5 kids I was up to a 7. now, I'm down to a 6!! it's kinda annoying because i have to buy new and expensive shoes again, LOL!!!

let's keep each other motivated!! :-)

Really? Cuz I have been coveting these boots and the largest size they come in is a 9 but I wear a 9 1/2 - 10 so they're just a tiny bit goo small.

My skin cleared up A LOT. My eyes also became less squinty.

I can get out of my car when the person next to me parks like *kitten*

Yes!

And the shoe thing too. I have never looked at my feet or ankles and despaired, even at my heaviest. I'd love it to come off my rather substantial *kitten* first.

can I just say, every time I see your profile picture I imagine Hedonismbot saying it, and this time it made me violently choke on my green tea in laughter!

also in response to OP, every time I attempt to lose weight I get cold.. I get cold anyway but it gets even worse! and I normally am quite bloated, but that's gone down so now none of my skirts fit, which is good cos yay nicer stomach, boo I kinda liked those skirts..

Substantial *kitten* being all the more appropriate then...

My wedding/eternity rings are way too big and I must get them resized before I lose them.
I have a pair of hoop earrings (match my eternity ring) and I was never able to wear them 'cause my ear lobes were too fat. Now I can comfortably wear them.
I can travel from the basement of my house to the very top ( 3 floors) without getting out of breath.
I poop much easier. Which brings me to, no overhang when I sit on the toilet.
Sitting on hard chairs hurt (lack of padding).
I have a pair of leather knee length boots and now they're too big around my calves.
Last year I bought a sports bra, which is now way too big (not a good side effect to lose ones boobies. I didn't have much to begin with).
I used to suffer a lot with back ache but that's improved now.
My skin hasn't improved much, despite drinking lots of water and getting way more fresh air (I was really hoping it would).

I'm freezing all the time, when I used to be burning up!

My feet do not bother me as much. I am a nurse and live on my feet!

Apnea gone!

Spending more money on new lingerie than on food

I get cold all the time now.
My hairdresser has noticed my hair thinning (scary)
I can buy a pair of boots without having to worry if my calves will be too big for them to zip all the way!
I'm trying new things now, and not just new foods. I've taken up new interests in running, biking, gardening and I'm coveting a new kayak!
I get a lot of people checking out the selection of items in my basket as I wander through the grocery store.
I find myself wishing even more that the people I love would follow a healthier lifestyle too. My husband says he is supportive of my weightloss journey but he himself has yet to really put any effort into losing weight himself. I know how good I feel and I just want that for him too.
I actually like standing in front of my closet and picking out what I will wear on any given day. Clothes are no longer a struggle, unless you count having to completely empty my closet of things that are now way too big!

Luckily I found it the opposite.

I have been colder
