    When having sex with you isn't a near death experience involving suffocation or being crushed to death.


    Hence why hate going on top.... fear of crushing the other half..


    Although he says i dont crush him :\

    When you have to explain to new acquaintances when older friends make comments about you being skinny now.

    When someone half my age (actually 3 years younger than my daughter) hits on me at the park.

    When someones else claims their goal size is my size.

    Both of these have happened to me in the last 4 days. Great ego boost. I think I still have roughly 30 pounds to lose. Weight lifting is doing me right.

    When you go out to dinner with friends, and you don't feel like the frumpy one! You feel good about yourself and look good!

    1) When your wife can give you a hug and can grab her wrists.
    2) When your shirts only have one X or less on the lable
    3) When you need to get your wedding ring resized becuase its too big for your skinny fingers.
    4) and yes you now have a larger penis (supposedly every 45 lbs lost = 1/4 inch of regained manhood)

    Seeing my reflection and not realizing its me..
    Going out with friends/family and not being the largest one there
    When I realized all my current dress pants are so baggy on me they actually look bad.

    OHH or you feel like your getting shorter cause all your pants are dragging instead of being high waters.

    Oh here is one, when I was working as a server (Which was only a few weeks ago) we have a 550 calories or less menu and I would get these evil looks when I would tell my guest that I didn't know if something tasted good because I don't eat here because I count my calories and try to watch what I eat. Or when I would see people who are doing weight watchers or what not counting calories or something they would give me evil looks like "Why do you count your calories" I had that asked to me a few times and I said "Hunny, I ain't always looked like this, if I don't count I'll be back to where I started and that isn't about to happen." When I tell someone how much I have lost they don't believe me, when I show my pictures they swear it's not me, but one thing I have going for me is that I have a scar on my arm that is seen in my biggest photo so that is usually when people believe lol.

    The last time I dieted and got down to my goal weight I did have a moment...

    I walked past the mirror and caught a glance at myself - and then backtracked - staring in horror at the mirror all I could think was 'OMFG my nose is F-ing huge!!!!! When did that happen????'

    After about a 10 second panic I realised that my nose had not grown, it had just unearthed itself from my previously fat smushed face.

    Your hats are loose.
    You need to put tape around your wedding ring to keep it on.
    You're man boobs dong giggle when you brush your teeth.
    You need to buy a new belt.
    You can outpace your kids when you go hiking.

    Now I just need to figure out how to lose 720 lbs. Considering I weigh 155, I am not liking my odds here.

    When you are trying to be a brat and refuse to move somewhere so your boyfriend just picks you up and sets you somewhere else.

    That's really sweet. My husband told me yesterday that he was a lucky man, guess that's about the same? I came back from a 3 mile jog and he told me I was hot, and I told him yeah I was a sweat puddle and he said that he meant sexy hot. Crazy, I felt like a sweaty pig.

    I think I knew when I looked down and didn't see my stomach poking out farther than my boobs. And what a glorious moment that was! xD

    When the gay guy at work who teasingly invites you to bears weekend in p-town every year looks you up and down and says "not this year, honey"

    (Men) When you are naked and look down and see a pen!s. This was a major accomplishment for me.



    I say this applies to men, becuase if you are a woman and look down and see a pen!s, then being fat probably wasn't your primary issue.

    best response.

    you go shopping and look at clothes in your new size and are still shocked that they fit.
    the regular size bath towel that wouldn't cover you before wraps nicely around you.
    the really fit people at the gym start making comments about the intensity of your workout.

    I don't know the answer, so I'm hoping you can help me out.

    This post got me thinking: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/989593-you-know-you-re-fat-when What is the reverse? I've never not been fat. What does that look like? What does that feel like?

    The OP is asking what is the reverse... lol! :laugh: Nobody answered this? :huh:

    OP, I've never been fat either... EXCEPT when I was lazy pregnant. I ate anything and everything and stopped working out and didn't work out for like 6mos after. I'm going to say that it feels gross. Especially if you're a former lean person. When they take that baby out your stretched out tummy becomes a raisin and your fat roll just kinda hangs (especially after a CSEC). It's really gross! Glad I didn't experience this during hot summer. Imagine the sweat in-between. EW. Anyway, this was my experience of becoming sloppy fat. I do think some people carry it better, I'm NOT one of those people. Back on track getting lean. I hope I'm never a lazy pregger again!

    Shaving your legs and not feeling like like you are out of breath.

    One of my favorites is I have a collar bone :D

    Can comfortably cross your legs under a table. <
    That was my first indication of significant change. Ladies, I'm sure you can relate. :wink:
