The Happy Weight Thread

Jestinia

This thread is to remind yourself why it's worth it to keep from gaining back lost weight. You can use comments, quotes, selfies, or motivational knick-knacks from the net. Whatever you want to store up to remind yourself when things get tough.

My first one: I'm happier to go out and be social when I'm at my happy weight.

I was at my happy weight a month ago---so I'm bumping to feel the good vibes and stay happy till I'm back!

It is worth it because I'll be attempting to conceive soon and if I stay the same, I can gain 30 pounds and still not be at my biggest weight!

After struggling with my weight my whole life, getting to a healthy weight and staying here has been a challenge, but so very awesome. I always tell people that losing weight doesn't solve all your problems or make you a "happy person." But it sure is one less thing to worry over or be miserable about!

Oh, and I love love love being able to find clothes that fit.

Being able to zip those "skinny" jeans, and still breathe and eat!! Lol

Getting on the scale at the dr office. I'm there every 3 months.

Most mundane: I am traveling overseas Sunday and I know how much better those airplane seats fit now than they used to! :laugh:

Most flattering thing over the holiday . . . I come from a family of mostly overweight people. Four different people came up to me and asked me which program I was using to lose weight and had me walk them through how to set it up.

AWESOME!!! So glad they wanted help. I have heard sooo many stories of family trying to sabotage efforts to make themselves feel better. Way to be a leader!! :drinker:

And a follower. I am in a band with four other women. I decided to lose weight when one person had always been thin, two others were on weight watchers, and one lost 20 pounds with MFP. I was the only one who needed to and I was tired of being the fatty in the pictures! Now I am the thinnest but all of us have been encouraging each others. It really helps when others are supportive.

Oh this reminds me of a good one that I hate admitting to because it's petty! The casual glance, I'm thinner than that random chick over there self-esteem boost. Yes, I know, I'm terrible, but I worked hard for this, I get to be petty once in awhile. I imagine after awhile it will wear off.

Every time I hoist a piece of luggage on the scale at the airport and see it weighs almost 50 lbs. I crack a smile and say to myself, "I used to haul two of these around all day 365 days a year!"

Ain't that the truth. I've lost a big heavy box of copy paper - and can't imagine it.

My husband has a pound butter box on his desk to remind him what he needs to lose.

I am so glad I am not the only one...

Weight loss product commercials give me a contented, proud feeling. Yeah, maintaining is a pain, yeah I slipped up recently, but it's all about vanity pounds now, where before it was some serious haulage I was toting around.
