I can fit in a restaurant booth now.

I can stand up and walk right away without stabilizing myself.

My chair only yells ouch now, it use to yell for the love of , get out get out.

People you know pay more attention to you, like you figured out the world was round.

My favorite is, you didn't do this by hard work, whats your secret.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FUNNY MOMENTS?

    One big one for me is seat belts. If I was in the back seat I could almost NEVER fit a seat belt around me. In some older cars I couldn't in the front either! My sister-in-law's van was one example and when I went for a ride in it this week it fit comfortably! That was a great feeling.

    Specific body part aches and pains. It would be generally in my legs or back. Its nice not to be thinking ouch ouch ouch when you get up to do anything lol.

    When you sink in a comfy couch and you try to get up, usually I would be stuck or have to really struggle to get out. Now its a quick sway back and push forward and up you get lol.

    After a shower and wrapping a towel around yourself. I noticed how much it finally covers up everything and not having to almost use a pin just to keep it shut lol.

    Bought a pair of pants for work the other day. Took a look at the waist and decided to buy them without trying them on because, you know, "I'll fit into them eventually!"

    Well I slacked off on laundry today and remembered the pants still sitting in a bag in the kitchen and thought, why not try them? So I slid em on up and, without huffing or puffing or sucking in or seeking any sort of otherwordly assistance, I fit into them! They fit comfortably and even have some wiggle room!

    Just wish the pants could be pulled up a little higher so that stomach roll above my belly button wouldn't show. I don't really own any 'low ride' pants.

    I can drive my car without the steering wheel rubbing my stomach and I can sit in the driver seat and pick stuff up out of my floorboard

    So I just started to lose weight a couple months ago. I wasnt even fitting inside my bigest pants that I had just bought at the time (size 36's). 2 months later, my 36's are starting to be a bit loose to the point where my pants bunch up (a little) when I put on the belt. Cant wait to be back in my 32's.

    For some reason, one leg was harder to put in pants than the other...I had to balance just right and lift toe ever so slightly off floor. Just realized the other day that I no longer had this problem...not sure when that became easier and I just hadn't noticed.

    I can really cross my legs well now and even twist them together!

    Didn't have an arthritic attack this winter. Not funny but wasn't funny either when I got them.

    I can squish in between our parked car in garage and the wall now. Comes in handy if you are chasing kids around!

    I cannot seem to keep a napkin on my lap. That tummy was awful handy for tucking a napkin under while I was eating.

    Being able to paint my own toenails without having to hold my breath for each toe.
    Fitting into my truck behind my 20 year old who drove it and pulled the seat forward.
    My clothes being way to big and refusing to buy new ones yet.

    Even my smaller bath towels wrap all the way around me. Nobody looks a little sick when they see me running in my tight running clothes (other than me lol). My clothes keep growing...thank goodness I still have a lot of my pre-chunka munka clothes!

    Looking down and not seeing my belly, since it use to stick out farther than my DD's.

    Not having to buy wide width shoes anymore.

    Fitting comfortably into an airplane seat and not needing the extender on the belt.

    Able to zip a hoodie that I bought at a rock concert that I couldn't fit into when I bought it.

    Typing at work and my rings keep sliding around my fingers because they're too loose.

    And my favorite:

    Teaching belly rolls in my belly dance class and for the first time in four years of dancing I can actually SEE the roll.

    -I can see in my belly button :D

    -Just wearing clothes is so much better. I would always be so annoyed by my body cutting into my belt line, and I take it for granted that this is no longer the case.

    my belts, which i thought fit fine before, are too big now. and i like actually *need* them for what they are made for, rather than an accessory. who knew they had an actual purpose!

    Boots I couldn't even get on my feet last winter go on and zip up without any issues now. No more cankles and swollen feet!

    I can buy clothes from regular plus-size stores again instead of having to order online.

    My belt has moved down a few notches.

    The towel thing. :)

    This is going to sound stupid, but I've lost weight around my knees. I noticed it tonight. I can feel all of the bones/bumps again, like a normal knee, and you can see this clear indentation between my thigh and my calf, like an hourglass.

    I used to avoid my desk chair at home because I had to steady it and squeeze into it. Now I can sit in it comfortably.

    I was able to sit in those white plastic lawn chairs over Labor Day weekend. Last year, my hips were too wide for the arms, so the arms bent out while the legs bent and almost tipped me over. It was so embarrassing. It was still a bit tight this year, but not uncomfortable, and the legs supported my weight.

    I was just talking about this the other day.

    I'd like to add the discovery of bones!! Somehow I ended up with a few that stick out.

    Also, :blushing: having your partner say how much more firm your body feels.

    my 7 year olds can reach their arms entirely around my waist and clasp their wrist, and they like to point that out now.

    The head of one of the showers in my flat is ridiculously low, and to wet my hear I used to have to squat underneath it. It took a lot of effort. Now, it takes absolutely no effort! Go muscly legs.

    I'm comfortable wearing trousers now! I always used to wear skirts and dresses to hide the size of my butt and thighs.

    Always wishing I had another body. Now, thinking, it's not perfect, but it's definitely getting there :)

    The shorts I am wearing right now almost fell off in the grocery store tonight. My belt needs a few new holes too. This is getting silly. I am definately going to need a whole new wardrobe next year and that is awesome. Everything I have is HUGE.

    I dont get winded walking up stairs. I dont have high blood pressure now.

    I am getting treated differently now by people. Sad but true. (and I LOVE it)
