Unintended Negative Consequences of weight loss

pumperlady

living in sweat shirts and sweaters plus turned up the heat but glad I am healthier.

I haven't worn my wedding rings for four years because I didn't want to get them re-sized bigger, and I keep hoping I will lose weight and be able to wear them again. Opposite problem. I am wearing a claddagh ring my husband gave me on my ring finger. I hope this time I can wear my rings sometime next year!

My wedding ring is too big now also. That's why it hangs from a chain around my neck. If I resize it now, odds are I'll have to resize it again in a few months anyway. :laugh:

Don't have the problem with the rings but I've definitely found myself to be colder! Not only that but, as a soccer player who is very physical, my usual technique doesn't work so well anymore. I am definitely the one on the ground more often now. (But at least I can chase the ball faster!)

its not time to resize my ring yet but its getting there. Also for me when I started losing weight I got cold a lot I started taking an iron supplement and that has helped

Our local thrift store has half price Mondays on the 1st of the month, I can buy an entire wardrobe there for under $50, we are talking name brand stuf too 75c for name brand shirts and slacks, you just can't beat that.

I've done that twice now in the past two years because I shrunk out of my old clothes.

Now I can fit into my two teen son's clothes so my wardrobe has tripled, but...

I now find a lot of my clothes in their dirty piles LOL

I couldn't wear my wedding ring before. I'm thrilled that it fits again!

I also went from burning up at work all the time to being cold most days.

These are good problems to have!

Me too - lucky it's summer now, so I won't be cold for much longer!
I'm hoping that by next winter my body will be used to being at this weight and I won't be so cold.

Hmm, all I can think of is having all these huge clothes that no longer fit me and riding over to the store to buy new ones... and if I continued to lose more that means yet another trip to fork over more money on clothes. That's about it though.

Count me among those who has had to resize my ring (2x) and who is cold all the time. As well as:

I had to replace my entire shoe wardrobe since my feet went down a size

My collar bone is now very prominent. I just about wiped out my jaw one day when I whipped my head around to look behind me and neglected to lift my chin out of harms way. Haven't repeated that move again. Still not sure how it happened the first time...

Too bony. Sitting sometimes is ouchy (No bum) and sleeping is uncomfortable because of the bones.

One thing I noticed last week when I was splitting and stacking firewood, I used to grab the wood and hold it on my hip to move it, but now there is no buffer of fat and it hit the bone ---Ouch.. so I have to use a dfferent technique.

cold but maybe tmi, but there is less padding on places for intimate times, hurts a bit

I'm hoping to fit into my wedding ring sometime in the near future! Haven't worn it since I was pregnant with my twins 23 years ago! I have also done the thrift store thing to buy 'in-between cloths' - why spend a bunch of money on cloths that I will be shrinking out of soon?? Looking forward to all the problems people mentioned here! :flowerforyou:

I also lost my built in tv tray, (gut).

I used to be able to sit in a recliner and put a plate of food on top of my gut and eat, now I'd get a lap full of food LOL

My small dog used to like to sleep on top of the gut back in the day too, every once in a while she'll forget those days are gone and hop up there and just slide right down onto my lap

I haven't even begun to lose weight and im dreading the freezing. I'm already cold all the time, and i'm fat! Its gonna be horrible when I'm skinny..

Whatever, I'll just buy more sweaters. Haha.
