Annoying/ Embarassing Weight Loss Stories

VanessaHeartsMasr

A couple of months ago I was running across the street to my mailbox and my workout pants which had become too big fell down in the middle of the street. It was mortifying but luckily none of my neighbors were outside at the time. Lol.

LOL - I wore a pair of tights to work the other day - and walking to work I realised I was in BIG trouble - they kept slipping down - just about to my knees - I had to stop every 90 seconds and jack them up again!! If I had not done that they would have ended in a puddle around my ankles....

By lunch time I walked to Smith & Caugheys and bought a very expensive $25 pair of tights as I just could not walk around pulling them up the whole time

So I was walking through the airport the other morning and I noticed this odd sensation that I hadn't felt since childhood. Nothing I could do about it until I got through security, so for the first time ever I went through the full-body scanner (which now shows nothing but an avatar) and bypassed the usual pat-down (which now includes a panty check?). Gathered my stuff and toddled off to the nearest ladies' room.

My butt was so much smaller that my underwear had fallen down and puddled in my pants. So much for "stay-put features".

Also, have lost my wedding ring from random slippage, and I need to replace my collection of $45 bras that are two sizes too big.


Anybody else have aggravating little "successes"?

This is off the subject but you mentioned it so I just wanted to share my view on the panty search. I use to live in USA for most of my life years and was born there.

I am an expat now because I married a European and relocated to Europe forever. I have not been back to the States for over 10 yrs and when I read the TSA now searches a woman's panties!

OMGOSH I will never return to USA after I read that! To have a stranger do this is unthinkable! I am shocked Americans have allowed this and not protested or boycott the airlines. The radiation is proving not to be safe levels it is a scatter radiation so those body scanners are not safe in my opinion and that of other Doctors I have read

. I read in drudgereport.com there are many lawsuits against the TSA for safety and privacy issues. I am grateful NZ and the European Airlines do not do embarrass their customers like this.

The only thing I miss about USA is the food I became accustomed to.
I also identify with the ring slippage my wedding ring is also looser now. I do not complain it is proof what I am doing is working.

This is why I buy cheap panties at Target.

totally relate on this one! I just spent $350 on bras!!! Went from a 42 to a 38!

I have a few, but I remember this one. First time I lost all my weight back in 2004, I was going on a first date and realized all I had were "granny panties". My underwear was too big! So, I had to go commando and felt weird the entire night. I never told my date. That would of gotten WAY weird. lol! We're still friends today and he doesn't know about that little tid bit.

Wait. What? You mean they check to see if I'm wearing my underwear? Because if it was Friday, it was probably no-panties friday and THEY would be embarassed. Especially in the midwest where I flew from.

ha! So, anyway, there I was, no lie.

I ripped the butt out of my shorts in Zumba class 3 days ago. I put my jeans back on and finished out class. So much harder to workout in jeans! I was so embarrassed.....:embarassed:

Have not had panty problems but have had pants problems. The girls were always laughing at me because I was constantly hiking my britches up!! I finally found some new jeans on clearance (from a size 26 to a size 18-20). Right now my biggest problem are my pj's. The bottoms are so big that I wake up with them down around my knees! Oh - and yes, I am ALWAYS cold!!!

I just bought a bunch of "new" (thrift store buys) clothes to take with me for my job in London. I started 30 day shred 10 days ago, and they're already falling off =/

It's good, but really wallet.

I'm always cold now. Like freezing. I call my hands "vampire hands" because my fingers are always ice cold (and people keep asking me if I'm okay because of it, lol). My standard bedtime attire since November has been one of those athletic microfleece jackets over a longsleeve t-shirt, microfleece pajama pants tucked into doubled up socks and then at least 4 blankets on top of that. Sexy : /

I also have this beautiful sapphire ring that is so loose I'm afraid of losing it but I also don't want to stop wearing it so I've got to figure that out.

Clothing is so frustrating. I'm afraid of buying new clothing because I don't want to "waste" money on things that I know I won't wear very long and I've never been able to find all of those fantastic things that other people do at thrift stores!

Yeah, I was in VPS and apparently now they check the waistband of both your pants and underwear if you have any. They also informed me that my fly was down, but that was unrelated. Of all things, my pants felt just as baggy.

NatashaShen

I just spent $60 on new jeans and a bra...

I like losing weight but not spending money lol. Although I am happy to have a new pair of skinny jeans.

Sorry, apparently can't delete posts.

Yes, I can relate, had 2 wardrobe malfunctions in the past 2 weeks. Today the boys slipped outside the old stretched out briefs and then got pinched when I sat down. Last week they slipped out in yoga and I realized I had a problem when I saw myself in the mirror doing bridge pose in my baggy shorts. I don't think anyone else saw.

I just bought two boxes of MEDIUM briefs and got 3 pairs of MEDIUM shorts for Xmas. I just gotta throw away my larges but I am so cheep. Yes, these are the problems to have.

I would like to start having these problems also. My day is coming.

Few years back (when I had lost loads of weight, but before I put most of back on again, so here I am again...!) was on a work visit where we needed our passports for security/identification. At the point we had to show them, mine got stuck in my trouser pocket. So my (elderly) boss was watching me, making sure I had it and got security clearance OK, and as I dug deeper into the pocket to try to pull the passport out, I realised that what I was actually doing was pushing my now-too-big trousers further and further down my leg and I was giving the old man a flash of my hip/bum!! Thankfully he was a real sweetie and discreetly looked the other way as he realised what was happening. And thankfully my other colleagues were ahead of me and it was dark, so nobody else saw :blushing:

My boobs are losing weight unevenly, so even with wildly differently adjusted bra straps, I still have to worry about coming off like a Rorschach painting.

LOLZ

Def. Wearing jeans I thought were only slightly too big and havinv them fall down while I was walking through the grocery store.

Bras, bras, BRAS! I've gone from a 36D to a 30DDD/DDDD (depending on the brand). This wouldn't be a big issue, except I do ballet, so those suckers need to be immobile. Also, I got some lovely new bras from Victoria's Secret for Christmas/my birthday... In a 32DD. Sigh...

Was in a pub in Dublin last year, had a few mojitos and was particularly merry. But I digress. One of my rings went flying across the room, having become way too bit.

On top of that there's pants getting too big, and one occassion in school ( lost about a stone in school year ago, gained it all back over the summer), that I started tripping over my skirt because it had gotten so loose and was trailing on the floor. Could have been worse though...

Shawneb66

My favorite...started out wearing a tight 18 and I now have a skirt, size 12, that I can pull off without unbuttoning! I haven't been this small since I was 18 years old! I love wearing the skirt because it makes me feel super skinny!! hahaha!! I also love buying and wearing size 8's comfortably!!

SheilaG1963

Was glad in a way to hear about being cold. Thought it was just me!! My hands and toes are always cold!

I remembered my last big weight loss (I put it all back on while finishing school). As I got bigger, I'd only buy one pair of pants etc but I kept all my other stuff knowing one day I'd get back into them. I have a special rubbermaid storage container with my old clothes and they're layered in sizes from largest to smallest. I can't wait to be able to open it and start working through the piles.

And, yes, I have bras in there too. LOL

goody2shews

My wedding rings have gone from my left ring fnger, to my right ring finger, to my left middle finger to my right middle finger. My thumbs for some reason are as skinny as my pinky so my index finger has to lose some weight or they will go ina box.

My tank tops are no longer appropriate to wear. They look like muscle shirts now.

My embarassing moment was when I was standing in my bra and underwear and raised my hands up in the air. I forget why at the moment but, my bra was then a necklace! oops I have one bra from two years ago that I was able to find. I think my original plan of not buying any clothes until I reach my goal weight has to be tweeked.

That's more or less where I'm at. I only have one bra, one pair of jeans, etc. Wear them til they die. Not like anyone can tell - jeans all look the same to me. I do have a full compliment of size 12 jeans, though. I'm currently a tight 16, so I actually have a stock for when I get down to that size. Hopefully I can get some use for them before they get too big.

sweetcheeks1978

My bras are too big (I dont want to buy more just yet as they cost a small fortune), my boobs are lost in my bras! Also, I was in a spin class when my wedding rings flew off, thankfully I found them but cant wear them anymore. I can have them adjusted either as it would have to be cut down too many sizes! I am hoping that hubby will be replacing them for our 10yr wedding anniversary in July

pkw58

Yup, Bras had to be replaced twice! And all my jeans and business suits.. I joined Project 333 to keep it real...now I only have a much smaller wardrobe but everything in it fits and makes me feel beautiful.

I had my ring resized after I hit goal, but during the winter my hands shrink.. so I went to claire's got ring snuggles... $7.50 US... little snippets of clear plastic tube that slip over your ring and keep it snug. They work!
