The weirdest thing about your weight loss?

groovybeenz

After losing 30 lbs, I've noticed that I don't have to hold my breath to tie my shoes anymore. I really hope my feet shrink some though these 10 1/2 extra wide shoes are not that easy to find.

I keep finding odd lumps and bumps then realise its my ribs or my spine or my hip bones and I haven't seen or felt them for years! :laugh:

Tell me if im the only one but

DO YOU REALIZE PEOPLE WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING TREAT YOU DIFFERENT?!?!

When I use to go to a store or mall just to look around at things that dont fit or see what jewelery they had, They at times wouldnt even acknowledge me. Now they approach me and are friendly and want to help me find things........I hate that the world is like this. But it feels good to be recognized.

I had a similar thing happen on Wednesday - for some reason a voice came over the lift speakers saying that it was overloaded - there were only about 6 of us in it......... NO-ONE looked at me, but there was another large lady in there, and SHE got out! I know I'm still very large, but it felt so good not to have everyone immediately turn and look at me!

In the supermarket the other day I dropped my car keys on the floor,
before i would have had to do a strange curtsey type manouvre because of my big belly,
but this time I just bent down and picked them up without thinking.
After doing this I just wanted to shout at everyone nearby what I had just done but decided people would think that I was out on day release!!!

I think it's weird how skinny my pinkies are now - I mean after 55 lbs lost all my fingers are skinnier but my pinkies are crazy boney lol.
The other day I was hanging up laundry & realized that the pair of pants I had in my hand was actually mine not my 13 yr old daughters. They were buttoned & I couldn't get over how small the waist looked. I also borrowed a shirt from my daughter the other day - that was weird to say "do you have a white shirt I can borrow" and actually be able to wear it.

I'm going to jump on with the "I feel taller" and as someone who is pretty darned short that's a fun turn of events.

The weirdest thing for me was when I went to put on one of my skinny elastic headbands I frequently use to keep my hair back it slid right back off my head. O.o I went to my husband and was like "My head shrunk! My head shrunk!" which just made him laugh at me. I'm pretty sure the headband was just too stretched, they are pretty cheap little things. But it sure made me laugh!

Along this same line of thought (which I had totally forgot I used to hold my breath to put shoes on)...I can comfortably trim and paint my own toenails.

I have only lost 11 lbs. but I was thinking that my pants wasnt getting loser and I was wondering where the heck I was losing the weight from... I go to see my mom & she says Honey u need to pull ur pants up... I said mom my pants fit just fine... She said they might in the waist but the crouch of them is between ur knees... mmm guess that answered my question!! ROFL:blushing: :laugh:

Oh no...totally going to embarrass myself now...

My wedding ring slides off
My "used to be tight undies" have become granny ones
I can move my pecs for the first time ever...LOL
I have 1/2 size smaller feet
I keep wearing old clothes and people keep telling me to pull my pants up! haha (I will be shopping for new clothes as a X-mas present from my husband soon)
I lost a cup size...not liking that one
I am COLD all the time! Time to start layering clothing.

Okay...that will do it

My shoe size, ring size, and all of my clothing sizes went down, but I don't know what the strangest thing was.

My hubby thinks it's really strange that my ribs are so pokey outy (I'm not skinny, I just have a very large ribcage and a very small waist), so - in my hubby's words - you "can play the xylophone" on my ribs. That's a little odd.

Having people who know me not recognize me is also strange. My neighbor hadn't seen me in a while and he said he thought my hubby was having an affair (he's not! We're very happily married!) because he saw some woman he didn't recognize going into the house at different times and it took him about a week to realize that the strange woman was ME!

Having my undies start to fall down inside of my pants.

And all while I thought I was the only funny looking one with her hands down her pants to pull her panties up. I am glad to see everyone else does it too.

I had to have my wedding rings adjusted and all my watch bands had to have links taken out
but the weirdest thing is that after losing over 70 lbs sometimes i still see/feel like a size 18/20

I'm in the "no more smaller clothes" phase... I'm putting on longsocks, ankle socks, biker pants, jeans, a tanktop, a longsleeve shirt, and a jacket (and undies/bra of course) just to get through the day. It's not even that cold. 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm freezing! I used to dance around in the cold rain until my skin turned red and purple and it didn't phase me.

I looked at my wedding pictures of my husband's and my hands... I've gone from squeezing into a size 8 to not being able to wear my size 7 ring to work anymore... I work fast food (I know, danger zone!) and I threw my ring away ONE TIME after drying my hands. Only for about ten seconds, but I've not worn it to work since.

My feet are smaller--though I was a size 6 when I started-now I'm anywhere from a 3 in little kids to 6 in adults.

My engagement ring--though bought in May is a 4 and half any too big--I think I need a 4 now.

I can't wear bracelets very much anymore--my wrists are too tiny (which makes me a little sad--I love jewelry)

I agree on the pants being longer thing and feeling taller--also pulling the undies up from under the pants (as embarrassing as it can be!)

I also still pick up my pants and can't believe they are mine because they are so tiny---big difference from a size 18/20 to a size 6/8
