so what does thin feel like?

_lyndseybrooke_

I absolutely loathe that stupid saying. Allow me to count the things that taste better than "thin feels," whatever that means....

1.) Pizza
2.) Ice cream
3.) Chocolate
4.) Fried chicken
5.) Macaroni and cheese
6.) French fries
7.) Steak
8.) Loaded baked potatoes
9.) Cookies (especially Oreos), possibly with milk
10.) Brownies
11.) Outback's Bloomin' Onion
12.) Chinese food
13.) Mexican food
14.) Italian food
15.) Cream cheese icing
16.) Cupcakes
17.) Reese's eggs
18.) Snickers bars
19.) Cheeseburgers
20.) Chips... or crisps if you're a Brit

Luckily, you can eat all of these things and still be "thin," if that's what you want to be. I don't particularly like the word "thin" - it makes me think of a body type way skinnier than I'd ever want my body to look. I prefer the word fit, but I don't want to be thin or skinny.

This might be silly but what does bump mean?

I am almost to goal and it is euphoric! I just can not wait to start seeing muscle definition and the beauty that comes with a fit body.

Thank you. I abhor it too! :grumble: It's so fkking stupid.

I concur with your list and add Barbecued Spare Ribs.

Thin feels like anything else, except your clothes don't mark you, you can tie your shoes without losing breath, and you can buy smaller clothes. A person can be thin and still feel like total *kitten*.

Thanks for keeping it real, grrlfriend.

Bump is exactly the same as in the dictionary. On a forum it's just someone bringing the topic back to the top for others to see.

Personally (24lbs down, 6 to go) I don't feel any different at all. And I didn't really expect to.

Granted my weight loss is on a smaller scale than many and it was more about preventing future health issues than addressing current ones. But fundamentally it changes nothing about my mentally and I've never observed the extra energy that people always promise.

I think people oversell it. If you're losing 50lbs or less it won't change your life. And it shouldn't have to.

Thin feels like when I was in college and I could eat anything I wanted. Thin is being in your 20s and not yet in your 30s (age does make a difference as to how you lose/gain weight).

I was heavier in my twenties than now. I feel better now that I'm out of my twenties and don't give a flying ####&@# what people think anymore. If your twenties were the your best years...I feel sorry for you. Thin feels like being healthy at ANY AGE.

Lies. All lies. Most of one's favorite foods still taste delicious. And thin feels... pokey. No more padding to rest yourself on. You can feel your bones more, and muscle. AND YOUR SHOE SIZE CHANGES!
I'm not thin by any length yet, but 80 lb loss is giving me a realistic idea of what my goal weight will feel like.
Fact.

fantastic job!!!! :flowerforyou:
