Bad things that have happened since I starting losing weight

MysteriousMerlin

Can't take the cold anymore. I wear 3 layers to work everyday, even in summer :noway:

1) Low T diagnosed and TRT started
2) Reactive hypo diagnosed
3) Engagement ended
4) Increased food bill caused by increased muscle mass from TRT. ^_^
5) Acne on the shoulders. ^_^
6) Cursing like a sailor
7) Distaste for popcorn and sweet foods.
8) Shaving more
9) Shopping for smaller clothes is harder
10) Being noticed more by VPs, directors, executives because of my assertiveness. Oh wait, this is a good thing.

Great thread!

1.) Spending entirely too much on new pants/dresses for work. I refuse to do sloppy.
2.) I am cold all of the time, and not looking forward to the winter months.
3.) Wedding rings don't fit, have to spend $$ for re-sizing.
4.) Gym pants just about fell off at training session last week. So embarrassing. Should have paid more attention to workout wardrobe and not just work/going out one.
5.) Television and leisure activities have ceased to exist as working out and mainly umm...."relations"....are taking up all my time. :blushing:

I've been catching colds more easily. I've got a mild one now and had another a few months ago. I'm not usually this susceptible to colds.

I am the complete opposite, I've never felt better. My whole team got sick this year, spread it between each other, and I was just fine.

My $99 "booty jeans" fit like... regular jeans....
My yoga pants fit like sweats, and tying them is no longer optional.
I only have three pairs of dressier pants that are even close to fitting now, and I have to be careful they don't snag and come off.
A few of the older (all married) guys in my volunteer organization started hitting on me, and I get ogled a lot at the meetings.

My underwear don't fit anymore

I've blown all my money that I should be paying back loans with on new clothing.

Bump.... I love ALL of this... I so can't wait to have bad things to say... ^_^

I'm only down 40 lbs, with LOTS to go, but I'm already suffering from negative stuff.
1. I'm feeling like a slob most of the time because my clothes are getting so baggy, where as before it was because I just felt huge. My esteem has taken such a hit because of it.
2. I'm getting socially awkward because now when I talk to certain people they want to talk about how good I'm doing and my wt loss. Its so embarrassing!
3. The gals at my normal clothing store have started handing me cookies when I come in. They are afraid I'll keep losing and quit shopping there because I will be able to shop in regular plus sizes and not the extended plus store.
4. The cookie aisle cookies are getting horse from calling my name but never being eaten.
5. Its really annoying to have to pull up my unders so much.. its a terrible reminder that I will be forced to buy new ones.
6. The 4x winter coat that I JUST bought last winter is just so huge now and I'm too cheap to buy a another new one until next year.
7. My poor ta-ta's, they look lost in those big ol cups now and I'm suffering from inner hook shortage on my bras.
8. So many more dishes to wash! eerrrggg..
9. I'm noticing that my inner thermostat must be broken. I'm so much colder now than last year.
10. I'm running out of excuses to not do housework. I'm just not exhausted enough now.
11.I just don't need this pressure of trying to figure out who / how / when to give away my clothes that are too big.
12. Carrying around a bottle of water all the time is such a burden, especially when you have to keep one hand free to pull up your unders.
13. I won't let me just sit around on the pew now while everyone is up worshipping at church. For some reason, I think I need to get up and do all that moving around stuff too.
14. My arm no longer gets that necessary stretching-as-far-as-possible exercise during bathroom breaks. (sorry, didn't wanna be gross, but it's the fat life)
15. Forty lbs ago, I only worried about the money I would have to spend if I crossed the line into being diabetic, but now I worry about coming up with enough money to cross the line of another country. How am I going to have time to eat a double cheeseburger and fries when I'm so preoccupied with maps of foreign countries I want to visit?

I've had to buy new trousers 5 times (44 waist now 34)

So bad.......on the wallet

Skirt slipped to my knees while chasing the bus. My kids thought it was hilarious. Fortunately, I had on leggings.

*I just spent a bunch of money on size medium scrubs for work and now I need smalls.
*I had to go buy long sleeve shirts to wear under scrubs because I'm always cold
*I'm out of room in my workout clothing drawer for all of my winter running gear
*there are 2 half marathons in May on the same weekend I want to run and I can't decide
*I have to hear people say how they don't recognize me, I'm wasting away and then tell them what I'm doing to lose the weight
*I bought a bunch of size 10 stuff on clearance last year because that was my dream size and now I'm a 6/8 and can't wear it

boobs on vacation. form-fitting jeans suddenly baggy and ugly, making me look larger. >< haha what else... idk... i love my curves sometimes... i feel empowered by them... but when i weight train i lose bf% so i look less like nigella lawson and more like a square-shaped human... albeit a very healthy one.

carasnewlife

My kids used to like my cooking.
I'm constantly putting myself in danger by running on slippery/uneven surfaces.

1. My belts are too big.
2. I turn down going out with family and friends because I want to work out, or don't want to eat out (more difficult to track!).
3. I was just in New Orleans for two months, and the only New Orleans food I ate was a beignet, once.
4. I get really upset if I can't exercise.
5. I'm running out of clothes that fit and don't have the money to replace them.

Oh how things have changed! :laugh:

reneeb816

HAHA...I love this. My biggest irritation has been my bras not fitting. I can handle saggy pants and flowing shirts, but man when my bra just keeps rising up my back it drives me nuts!

Best thread ever :laugh:

You are doing an amazing job, Hope your adventures start soon

Jealousy! Is no one else dealing with this? I would love to hear how you are dealing with it.

cityjaneLondon

Yes, some of my very much beloved friends who are on the larger side have found it hard to deal with my weight loss. I try not to go on about it when I am with them, but even so I find they are not so keen to get together with me as they were.. I think we used to tske comfort in each other's size, now there is a difference between us. I find it hard.

My clothes don't fit properly

This was truly the worst. I loaded up my plate for Thanksgiving, started munching merrily, and found it was a genuine struggle to eat it all. Going back for second and third helpings of turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes just wasn't even thinkable. I finished my veggies and pushed the plate aside. And my usual practice of filling another plate with leftovers later that night? Forget it. After not quite a year of this, I'm just not that good at overeating anymore.
:sad:

I have to completely agree with the clothes situation. I just had to spend $100 on new gym clothes. Basically, I just bought my own Christmas present.

I had the same problem. I was soooo disappointed in myself.

Kittyvicious1

I fractured my ankle and I have no more jiggle in my bum

GGS54

Since losing more than my original goal of 15 pounds, I have had to spend a fortune at the alterations place having all of my skirts and pants taken in -- which is MUCH cheaper than buying all new clothes or having a closet filled with things that are way too tight!

:laugh:

1. I don't feel like wearing all my old, baggy comfy clothes, even at home. They just look so bad!
2. I've realized that people don't take enough pictures. I want more pictures of myself damnit!
3. Feeling cold
4. Difficulty getting comfortable at night because I have less flesh on 'em bones
5. I can't eat anywhere near as much food as I used to be able to (as evidenced by my dismal attempt to eat loads at Thanksgiving lol)
6. Have had to replace a bunch of clothes
7. Had to get rid of clothes that I absolutely loved (for sentimental reasons) because they looked so baggy
8. I've noticed how pissy my mood becomes when I don't work out. I can be a mega *****! lol

OAEE

takes longer to get ready in the morning. I now have to do 20 min. exercises plus recently added running, up to 10 whole minutes!

They took my membership card to the clean plate club away.
