    During stretching you can actually pull your knees to your chest, without a blob of fat stopping you.

    When trying on clothes double check the label, because you thought you grabbed a size too big. NOPE , the size you normally get, just need to drop a size.

    (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.

    When you still use the same elastic waistband workout shorts from day one, and while your running you try to jump over a water puddle only to have your shorts drop down enough to make you trip making an ungraceful tuck-n-roll landing into said water puddle.

    -I was still fat, but noticed I was considerably thinner when I bought a dress for my sister's wedding 2 months before the event and then try it on a month and half later and find that I needed to buy another dress.
    -When, last week, the gay guy at work offered to check if he has any extra belts that will fit me because he noticed me tugging my pants up all day.
    -When a supervisor asked me to show her how to do a proper squat.
    -Then, this morning, I tried on a dress my sister had given me to wear last Summer but it was still a bit too tight and this time it was WAY too big!

    When someone you've just met is discussing their weight problems and your comment about a healthy diet and exercise is met with this reply, "You don't know. You're skinny! You've never been fat!" :noway:

    (BTW: I quickly showed them my before picture.)


    ha I usually show them my stretch marks :(

    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!

    Umm EVERYONE but you answered his question. He wants to know the reverse of the thread "what being fat feels like".

    my original workout pants have a drawstring and they still fall off when tied all the way tight LOL. I did a similar manuever in Zumba class before I finally retired them

    When you bra has an extra cup size full of room
    When even the medium's are big
    When belts are your best friend
    Your old clothes make you look baggy and shabby
    People know your voice but don't recognize your new body
    You can't stop staring at your new body in the mirror

    For Men
    ...
    4) and yes you now have a larger penis (supposedly every 45 lbs lost = 1/4 inch of regained manhood)

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

    hahahaha :D:D wouldn't you eventually just be a giant, free-floating penis?

    Can't wait to get to some of these!

    1. When my guitar no longer lays horizontal (on my belly) to the ground but perpendicular.
    2. I no longer feel the breeze on my plumber crack.
    3. I no longer make that weird grunting noise when getting in/out of the car.
    4. The neighbor lady asked me "check the pilot light" while her husband was out.
    5. I can run up the stairs without blacking out.
    6. I can see the tendons on the back on my hand.
    7. My shirts stay tucked in.
    8. Getting up off the floor does not require help or embarrassment.
    9. I can squeeze through back fences to check pilot lights.


    I hear ya on #1 for sure! It is great to sit down in a chair and have the axe close to you!

    When you have to retire yet another favorite suit.

    When people keep calling you skinny/thin and you finally realize, maybe they're not delusional.

    When you start getting "the look" from people that you used to give to skinny women complaining about their weight/body.

    You know when you're thin when all of you're 'thin' clothes that you hoped to get into are now your fat clothes- need to go shopping! That and you have a line on your arm where your bicep is- (I can't stop looking at it haha)

    You know you're not fat anymore when....

    All the clothing you try on works and you don't need to shift between three blouses to find the one that doesn't grip your stomach and back fat.

    Jean zips are a breeze.

    You go through dozens of safety pins to keep your pants up.

    Your running shoes actually go bad.

    You need a separate drying rack for sports bras and jogging pants.

    You have ribs showing on your upper torso ! This was really weird for me. I used to have a couple of rolls with cellulite !

    You notice that you're walking into a store faster than anyone else and not out of breath.

    You start to see weird dents, bones, muscles, and even veins showing that you never noticed before on places like your wrists and shoulders.

    Men start giving you curious side glances, even the ones who are / were out of your league.

    Some women get a lot friendlier / accepting around you.
    When I was fat I was ignored or regarded with mild politeness by most.

    Random strangers tell that you look like a doll.

    When your wedding, or engagement suits from 5 years ago don't fit you.

    When your jeans are being held up by the extra holes you made in your belt.

    When you change shoe sizes (yeah how did that happen?)

    When you're junk is MUCH larger.

    When you're a horn doggy all the time.

    You aren't scared to take your kids to the amusement park due to knowing that you can't fit on all of the rides with them....
