Luckily for me I'm still 245lbs so I'm happy as a pig in poop.0

That I have absolutly NO BOOBS left :sad: ! I am the Queen of the itty bitty titty commitee-once again-like I was in high school (Lol), but now they aren't perkey and cute they are saggy and disgusting...HA! Ohhhhh well, I guess that's something that I can have fixed :blushing: ! Really no other complaints here!

Why? Being able to see negative aspects in a situation, or feeling sad about certain things doesn't mean you can "never be happy". Life isn't that black and white. Losing a significant amount of weight is, for many people, a profoundly life-changing experience so it's hardly surprising that there would be some negative aspects. I'd imagine most things that people describe as the best thing they've ever done (getting married, giving birth, adopting children, moving to another country etc) would have some downsides, even if people don't like to mention them. I am extremely happy with my weight loss and wouldn't change it at all, but that doesn't mean it's all been a 100% happy, shiny, sparkly experience. (Maybe 95%...this thread just shows that no matter what, some people are just never happy.

It's obvious to me that people treat people differently because of their weight.
^ ^ This.
People who wouldn't give me the time of day are now suddenly think they're my best friend. Nope! I don't have time for those kind of superficial people.0 -

This is so me!0 -
Do my boobs hang low, can I swing them too and fro, can I tie them in a bow, do my boobs hang low? :bigsmile:
You missed some of the lyrics:
Do your boobs hang low, do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot, can you tie 'em in a bow? Can you throw 'em over your shoulder like a continental soldier? Do your boobs hang low? :laugh: :drinker:0 -

Thanks, I knew I was forgetting some, guess I am losing part of my memory along with the weight.0 -

It seems that with the weight loss in some ways I look older, I see more wrinkles.0

I am sad because of all of the money I spend CONSTANTLY buying new clothes. I bought 4 pairs of pants and spent over $100 less than a month ago, and they are already too big!!!0

I agree 100% about being sad about favorite clothes no longer fitting! I had to get rid of so many beautiful dresses I loved so much. Shoes became too wide as well. Tailbone being so easily felt. Rings no longer fitting.0

My sentiments exactly LOLDo my boobs hang low, can I swing them too and fro, can I tie them in a bow, do my boobs hang low? :bigsmile:

I was dejected at having lost some of my already-puny chest.
Otherwise, no, I've never lamented looking and feeling better - as good as a puny-chested gal can look, hehee. I try to view the expense of a wardrobe as a reward. 0 -
Pretty much needing to buy clothes. I've still got 100ish left to lose, so it's kinds stupid to buy clothes that will only fit for a few months. Altering what I have is just as pricey as buying new and going to shops like Goodwill don't have any that fit. God forbid I get clothes as gifts and can only wear them for a short time before they're falling off me. The dirty looks from ILs are embarrassing. I appreciate the gift, but stop making me feel like *kitten* for losing weight.0

Oh there's no self-esteem handed to you at the end as a prize, no throngs of men that love you or dynamic personality fix that makes all your flaws disappear behind the new curtain of badass confidence that comes with goal weight?
wait none of that comes with goal weight?
You mean Im supposed to be working on that stuff all along too?
Are you crazy all they said was eat less move more.
WTF
hahah. #winning.0 -
I haven't lost a good amount of weight and I dont need it but it makes me sad that some people tell me I look skinny. I want to tell them "you havent seen me naked" but yea I might be looking skinny with the baggy clothes on:)0

Sad but true. It's called fitness, not magic. I figure paying for new pants is cheaper than the heart attack I had scheduled.:drinker:0 -
Knowing that I can always be "a little thinner." I've lost nearly 30 pounds but it feels like I haven't hardly started yet. No, I'm not anorexic...just not sure if/when I will hit my goal weight. And yes, spending money on new clothes is incredibly annoying, but I'd rather be spending money on smaller clothes over bigger and bigger!0

For me, counting calories and doing portion control isn't the hard part. Unpicking my food issues (see latest blog post) were.
When I told you I was now able to eat in public and discuss my food desires and eat rationally at a family gathering, you said "Oh, that's nice..." dismissively.
When I told you I lost 25 pounds, you acted like I'd done something amazing.
Unpicking and healing the traumas that kept me doing disordered eating was the hard part. This?
"Wanna chocolate bar."
"No. Can't be arsed to go get it, and there's not any in the house. You don't need it anyway."
"Okay."
is about as bad as the cravings get.0 -

^ for me too. My Mom actually asked me to put on weight cause I was looking to skinny. Funny thing I haven't really lost that much weight, just moving body fat into muscle. Makes me look leaner. Getting ready for work in the morning is kinda a bummer just cause I don't have the cash funds to buy new clothes. Most everything I have is 2 sizes to big.
We all need to start a MFP clothes drive to get us all new duds. LOL0 -
My pathetic tits.0

Knowing how much easier it is to gain it back than lose it.
I can totally agree there. You work your a** off to loose it & it could come back so easy. Not at my goal weight but thats still a fear.0 -
I've lost over 80 lbs and it made me really sad to see there are people in my life and career that talk to me a lot more than they ever used to. I feel like they did not feel like I was worth their time before I got thinner. Almost made me feel like not responding to them.0
-
how come I can't lose my boobs?!?
Since I'm almost 30 lbs down into my journey, I can't say I miss anything yet. Subject to change!!
Oh good, I thought I was the only one who hasn't lost their boobs... I'm starting to look like Dolly Parton with my DDs0 -

haha I'm curious to see what will happen for me. I've only lost 10 lbs so far but have seen inches lost in various parts of my body but nothing off my chest yet, surprisingly.0 -

Yes. Very much so this! I've been at the same job for 12 years but now I am Ms. Popular. Before I was just Ms. Reliable.0 -
that not enough people will talk fitness with me.0

The ONLY thing I hate is bones are painful to sit on/ lay on. Sometimes I can never get comfortable. It hurts to sit on the floor, or bleachers or any place for too long.
I hear ya, I was laying on the floor, on my stomach and my ribs were hitting the ground and it hurt!!!!0 -
