    For me, it was when I laid down on my side like always and my knees rubbed together and it hurt. I now have to have something between them to stop it from hurting. This is when I truly knew I was thin..lol

    I thought that was just me being weird! I'm so glad someone else has the same issue. :happy: No offense, I don't mean I'm glad your knees hurt. :tongue:

    Never been obese or clinically overweight, but I still notice a huge difference.

    - When I consider, for the first time ever, buying a bikini and actually wearing it. In public.

    - When I'm trying on my clothes and realizing that everything I'm putting on is too big and looking slouchy/sloppy.

    - When dropping a cup size and a band size on my bra doesn't bother me at all - because the rest of me has shrunk to match.

    - I look forward to my birthday when I should be at or close to my goal weight and blowing a chunk of change on a whole new wardrobe, because I will desperately need it by then. Undergarments and all.

    when you stop hoising one foot up over your knee to tie your shoes so they are tied on the insides, not on top...

    When none of your clothes fit and you are known to your friends as the "skinny one"

    #1 for me - When you're reading a thread about the things that made people realize they were no longer "fat" and you think "Wow, I can't wait to be where they are." And then you realize you are -- or at least very close.

    And then a couple others I thought of:

    -- When you are always cold because you drink so much water and no longer carry around a blubber blanket.
    -- When you realize that you spend more time worrying that you're not eating enough for how active you are than you do worrying that you're eating too much for how lazy you are.

    You don't automatically go for the biggest size on the rack.

    When you can walk in a skirt in 30c temperatures and you don't get a rash or chafing on your thighs.

    When does this actually happen? I cannot remember wearing a skirt or a dress without shorts, nylons, or spanx underneath. I cannot wait!

    Depends on your build, totally. I'm 172lbs and 5'7ish but I have very wide hips. My thighs were so fat when I was 240lbs I would be literally crying with pain on days like today.

    When you run into an X employee that work for you
    I said Hi to her and she replied
    I don't know you lady!
    I said you worked for me for over 10 years,
    Then she was so shocked, the next question always is Have you been sick?
    I always reply,
    YES! Sick of being Fat!

    I love this! Good for you. I must use this.

    I have another one!!

    When I was in Kyoto I desperately wanted to wear a kimono. My friend and I went to a rental place and I asked the TINY (size 2 and 5ft tall) Japanese store clerk if they would have anything that would fit me.... Expecting them to say no.

    She took one look at me and said "You're tall, you'll need the ones with the blue tags". There were over 20 kimono to choose from with blue tags. The blues were an "L" and they went up to an "XXL". Absolutely couldn't believe it and I found a beautiful kimono. I didn't even mind getting undressed to have them dress me! I have never been happier with my weightloss.

    The eating one definitely!
