Best Part About Losing Weight

Urban_Princess

I'm nowhere near my goal yet but I can't wait for the day I walk into a store and not have to look at the back of the rack for the largest size or casually try to see what the largest size is by pretending to shop for my boyfriend's "sister".

I can start sharing clothes with my sister (we buy the same stuff anyways, might as well save some money or get really nice things).

I would actually take pictures of myself while on vacation or at events! That would be nice!

Self confidence ... things that I wear look a ton better (Even though I have a long way to go). I appreciate my body more and how hard it is working to keep me going ...

I also like more and more how i look naked

Honestly, the best part for me is being able to walk without pain and getting out of breath.
I love being able to buy "normal" sized clothes too.

this all depends on the amount of weight...for me..losing over 100lbs the best part is quality of life....i mean so many things before were such a chore...walking. going to an amusement park, dressing, tying shoes, bathroom stalls...right now i gained 15 back...so losing those 15 to get back into the smaller clothes is the best thing.

ive lost 50 pounds. i have 50, 60 or 70 more to go. but so far i already feel like a sexy beast. especially when i leave the gym. my confidence is up. i cant even begin to think of how sexy im going to be in 50 more pounds. well i think about it. but i cant wait to see.

am finally able to buy clothes which looks great in 10/12 but when i used to try them in 14/16 or even 18 it looked horrible...

also i feel i have far more energy and am able to breath smoothly while exercising ^_^

There is so many things that I think are wonderful! I don't hurt all the time is probably the most amazing! I can go shopping and enjoy the clothes I find. I look in the mirror and I'm not ready to bolt! I love the fact that my husband whistles at me now. He never said anything when I was 88 lbs heavier, never anything negitave about my weight. I've still got 12 lbs to go but I know now that I'll be able to reach my goal!

I'm nowhere near "goal" but I have lost about 98 lb over the past 5 years and my favorite thing is being able to fit into the world better. I no longer feel wedged into places, like diner booths, theater seats, or small chairs with arms. I am still a large person and still have a long way to go toward 'normal' weight (208 right now) but it's just so nice to feel comfortable everywhere.

I'm always having small NSVs about this, like sitting on a loveseat in my favorite coffee shop with my best friend and actually just taking up part of one cushion...in the past I would have felt like I had to crush myself against one side to avoid my thighs touching my friend and overflowing my half of the loveseat.

Are you very tall? Cuz you look very skinny in your photo!

I'm not close to my goal yet but now when my husband tells me I'm sexy, I don't feel like he's lying.

I am roughly 40 lbs from goal, but I've lost more than 100 lbs, so I feel like I'm pretty much almost there.

Best parts of losing weight:

- increased confidence. I stand up for myself, ask for what I need, say no when I want to say no. I just feel more confident in general, and if asked to do something scary, my attitude is "sure, I'll probably do it - it can't hurt to try at least". Before it was "No, i dont think I"ll be able to - I don't/can't do things like that".

-getting to wear cute clothes again. I'm a total girlie girl, I love fashion, I love looking cute, and shopping is sooooo much more fun now.

- being :::able::: to shop. Before it was Torrid, Lane Bryant, Macys plus sizes, or online. That gets old really, really fast. Now, I can shop pretty much anywhere and find something that'll fit. Not everything fits obvs - I'm still in a large or medium in "regular" sizes, and jeans can be problematic. But still - I know walking in that there's a good chance I"ll walk out with an outfit. That feels awesome.

- high sex drive/ more confidence in bed/ better sex

-moving is just so much easier. I hop over puddles in the street instead of walking around them. If a car is coming I can jog across the crosswalk instead of just speeding up my walk.

- I believe I'm capable of pretty much anything now

I can walk for an hour straight. I only lasted 10 minutes when I started out.
I have a collar bone now.
I have hip bones now.
I'm more flexible doing sexual acts with my husband.
