Bad things that have happened since I starting losing weight

kk_140

Also, my hips bones jut out in a way they never have before and bug me when I lay on my belly. This is also a problem with my butt bones!

The Horror!

Well, since you asked...

I've had to clean out my closet!! I've donated the big clothes to a non-profit. I have to keep shopping for new clothes about every month. Who knew?

1. My glasses keep sliding to the end of my nose.
2. I am unable to drink the same amount of Vodka.
3. I have to keep my thermostat at a higher temp.
4. My push-up bra isn't pushing anymore.
5. I get ansty when I take a needed break from the gym.
6. I smile and giggle at everything (This is really Bad)

I have almost all of the same issues lmao

My bras aren't fitting well anymore and I never had much to work with either. My pants are getting baggy looking when they're skinny fit. I'm trying to save money, not spend more lol. But I'm still happy with my results

I lost 60lbs before I started tracking on MFP and none of my clothes fit anymore, I'm out of work so I can't afford new ones! Before I lost my job I bought a whole new plus-size wardrobe and now I can't wear any of it. BUT I'm healthier!

reneeb816

New one for me: The wrinkles in my face are much more apparent now! :ohwell:

Also, the shocking realization that I can go into ANY clothing store now and find something that fits. Well, except maybe for Lane Bryant. This is very dangerous thing for my wallet. I've been trying to utilize the Salvation Army thrift store because I've still got so much to lose.

And (this one I'm ashamed to admit) but I've become a bit judgemental towards heavier people. I find myself thinking "I did it. Why don't you?" I don't like that about myself.

Bump =o)

My wedding ring is getting too big! My work pants almost fell off the other day, AT WORK!!

JoelleAnn78

I love this topic! So great

For me it is the cost of buying new clothes. I have to keep replacing my wardrobe each season when last year's clothes don't fit anymore!

BekaBooluvsu

1.My bra is no longer full ( the ladies are firmer too)
2. Undies are saggy and falling off
3. Clothes are falling off of me
4. Getting called beautiful by random strangers (this is awful, LOL just kidding)

HAHA! #14

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?

caveninit

1. My very expensive bras that I splurged on 6 months ago no longer fit..boobs are shrinking. (would much rather have belly shrinking more...why take from the fat I actually LIKE having??
2. that is all.

buzybev

1) I haven't lost that much yet but already my bras don't fit and I don't want to buy new ones until I reach my goal but I might have to.
2) It hurts when my cat sleeps on my rib upper belly area.
3) Being checked out by creepy dudes when I'm running.
4) My rings don't fit.
5) My shoes are big.
7) More dishes because I cook at home a lot more.
6) Deciding if I want to wait to buy clothes now or later (belts are a new thing in my life).

This is my life! I've actually started running in the early morning before sunrise cus I'm not really down with being honked at. And I can totally relate to the cat thing. Whenever my cat walks on me it feels like shes pressing little baby hammers into my stomach/chest. And I'm trying to hold out as long as possible before buying new bras.

Went on a five day trip to Vegas with my sister and did a decent amount of research on best Las Vegas buffets to sample. When I got there (Bacchanal at Caesars Palace and Bellagio), I did not do the food justice (particularly the desserts and meats). I managed to actually lose a couple of pounds in Vegas (thanks to walking the entire strip (Mandalay to Stratosphere and running on the treadmill at my hotels--Mandarin Oriental and Mandalay Bay), but somewhere, there are red velvet pancakes left untasted by me ;-(

On a completely separate note, have also been contributing to environmental waste by using separate containers to weigh by grilled chicken and salad items at the salad bar at work. Feeling a little guilty about that one.

Threw my back out pushing a piano down the hall...it helps to have extra weight for that job!

I'm down to one pair of jeans that fit me well and don't make me look like I'm wearing Mom Jeans.

1. The Girl Scouts in my neighborhood are now unable to sell enough boxes of cookies to go to summer camp for free.
2. Children at the beach no longer feel heroic trying to save a whale by pushing me back into the ocean.
3. Restaurant patrons must now find something else to talk about instead of that obese lady eating nachos.
4. My husband is tired all the time because he's kept up way more often now.
5. My friends are trying to figure out which one of them will now be considered the "fat" one of the group.
6. When I miss my mouth the food now falls to my lap instead of into my bra. Therefore, ending the game, "rummage through my cleavage".
7. Hundreds of Coca Cola workers have been laid off from reduced sales of their product.
8. Planet Fitness is spending much more for my time there in electricity than my $10 a month will pay for.
9. My students can no longer use the excuse, "I didn't do the assignment because I couldn't see the white board".
10. Lastly, the poor ice cream man has been driving down my street every hour because he misses me.

Loved your post!

PJPrimrose

I have all the same issues!
Clothing malfunction, excuse me, I must pull up my pants like a 3 yr old...again.

Hit on. *Roll eyes* I'm in shape for my sport and my health, not you, ninny pants. (It helps being a Martial Arts student for the pushy guys.)

Cold. Grocery shopping in the freezer section sucks especially in the South. Folks in the South LOVE air conditioning.

Strangely, being expected to wear clothes that are my size but half my age." Mutton dressed as lamb" isn't attractive no matter what kind of shape you're in. I'm SO not wearing a super short skirt at 44.

I HATE clothes shopping with my friends. I love you my friends and we can shop for flowers anytime you like! I do not want to hear you tear yourself down in the clothing section of the store. It breaks my heart.

Being studied like a science project when I eat. Um... like "HI" did you slip something weird in my food and are checking to see if I actually eat it or something?

aplhabetacheesecake

My running shoes feel a size too large
my FAVE run jacket now looks like an oversized trash bag on my frame
I notice any bit of swelling on my hands and ankles now it was hidden by fat before

***THE COLD*** omg i have a heater under my desk, a heated mattress pad on the bed and heated seats in the car

my closet ranged anywhere from size 14-18 so i am ok still in the clothing department, but the bras- wahhhh I lost my boobs!

my big earrings now look redonkculous on me now

My fridge is crowded with leftovers, there used to never be any "leftovers" cause I would eat all of it!

This is a humorous thread. Here's a couple from me:

The bones in my butt get sore from sitting too long on hard chairs.
Likewise, I find the bones in my shoulder also are sensitive to bumps
I have changed from being my wife's "hot water bottle" to keep her warm in bed, to "your skin is cold"

bump for later

Hah! I love your sense of humor. Similar to my own.

1. When on the treadmill the other day, I was irritated to keep getting a flapping noise and something annoying me from behind. I was horrified to realize it was my underarms. Losing so much weight on your arms and the skin not shrinking back up mean I have like water wings that flap when I walk. That was the flapping thing behind me. Eeeeeeek.

2. I started lifting weights to try and build up/tone up/shrink up all the excess skin. I showed my friend my new biceps yesterday. They were cute little biceps on top of the downhanging water wings. I flapped my arms at her and she laughed. Shoot. So I pushed up the skin a bit with the little biceps but it's not shrinking. Darn.

3. With clothes on, I'm starting to look pretty good. Now I'm getting a lot of comments about my potential for anorexia, eating disorders, "you've got to stop." Or the best ... "stop losing on the top half, and just continue on the bottom half." As if we have a choice.

4. I tried on a pair of size 4 pants the other day that I've been saving for ten years. I got them on and up, and unfortunately they look like crap. They are too short and too baggy on the crotch. I never realized how badly they fit or how unfashionable they looked as I could never get them on. I've grown out of size 18-16-14-12-10-8-6 and now size 4 pants. When I was 130 when younger, I never fit into size 4 pants. I fit into size 9/10 at the time. I'm still 145, but fitting into size 4 and still some weight to lose. Have sizes become bigger???????????????????????

5. Without all the lumpy cellulite riddled fat on top of the muscles, now the muscles are looking pretty puny, so see number 1 above. Trying to take yoga, but so far being asked to do planks is resulting in my plank lying on the floor unable to get up. I think I have no core ...

- A saleperson, in a shop I have always gone to, asked me if I had a "boob job" - I guess my bustline was understandable before
