Bad things that have happened since I starting losing weight

mike_ny

Most of the people I see everywhere now seem to be somewhere along the spectrum of overweight to obese.
I know the ratio to normal and under weight is the same as it was six months ago, but after trimming down a lot, I just notice it so much more.

So, the bad thing is now my original goal, which seemed very aggressive at the time and which I'm just a week or two from hitting, is now only a mile marker as I'm then definitely setting the goal to lose another additional 10-15 pounds.

I went swimsuit shopping this weekend, and my husband (who usually doesn't like me to spend much money on clothes) convinced me to buy 3 new swimsuits, two of which are bikinis, because he thought they looked so good! Maybe now I should take him shopping with me more often! Darn!

I've got one!

It was awful picking out clothes that would never have fit me before and when I tried them on? I actually smiled in the mirror. It was a horrible experience!

Reverse-wedgies when I run

Great Job..I just getting started I'm encouraged by the stories that I read. You losing and having to adjust to your new life is a bad thing to have..lol. I hope to have the same story soon

Using less soap? LMAO - I am loving reading these responses. Congrats to all!

Buying new shoes. I had a hard enough time findings the ones that I was wearing and now they are too big. Also trying to figure out what bra size to buy. I need more workout bras because they ones I have are now too big.

Also my cats are having a harder time laying on me at the same time. There's not as much room.

Love being bad!

While getting in shape is great, it's not without it's downside. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, I present my list of the top "bad" things that have happened since I began getting fit:

7. I'm hurting the economy because I use less soap when I shower.

Funniest thing I have heard all day!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

alysnyder

Hahaha, I love this!

5. A female coworker spanked me on the *kitten* and said, "Damn, your *kitten* is looking smaller."
6. I liked getting spanked by a girl

ROFLMAO!!!! That was great. :drinker:

Love this!

I've been getting a lot more attention from men and while that is a positive, most men my age are only looking for one thing. I think catcalls are compliments but I always have to think of a guy's motives when they're talking to me.

1. My local Goodwill shop cheers when I walk in the door. They know I'm about to spend some money. '
2. I had to replace almost all of my undies. Nordstrom Rack became my new BFF in the undies department.
3. I have an entire workout wardrobe so i can just wash them all on sunday instead of watching the stink lines on my backpack grow with every passing day.
4. I wore a pencil skirt with heels to work after losing 20 pounds. Every guy in the office asked my hubby if I have been losing weight. Every woman in the office (except a couple-the ones who exercise and eat right) gave me death stares. I have to admit, I enjoyed it a little.
5. I had to give away my bikini from a few years ago. The tie side bottoms wouldn't tie tight enough to stay on and the top was too big around the ribs.
6. My compost bucket gets filled way faster. Not because I'm wasting the fruits and veggies, but because I'm eating way more of them. We even had a few volunteer squash plants pop up this year. now if i can just get a couple of volunteer apple and pear trees.

2. Frito Lay is stalking me and have wrote me several letters asking where I am and if I'm ok

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

This is inspired!
My bad thing that happened today - I walked into the door (clutz) and hit a rather large lumpy thing and it really hurt! Upon close inspection, the lump appears to be my hip bone! Haven't seen it for so long it took a while to figure this out! :laugh:

I'm cold ALL the time! Winter was almost unbearable for me because I was so cold. I guess having 92 extra pounds really makes you hot!

Also, this isn't a bad thing but surprising...when people hug me they feel closer! It was weird trying to adapt to the closeness of a hug.

this!!!!!!

Thanks for a good laugh. I hope bad things keep coming your way! Great job!

1. I don't get my money's worth at a buffet.
2. I had to set up a standing desk because I'm too antsy sitting still all day.
3. My list of books to read someday is shrinking, as I plow through them via free library audio books while walking around the neighborhood
4. I've run out of road. I now need to take a much longer route to "run until I can't run anymore" and have to double-back to make it a decent workout.
5. I had to buy a cute light sweater to wear most days.
6. My Netflix queue is growing longer.
7. I have to water a garden daily because I wake up early, have the energy to take care of it, and I use up all those fresh herbs, greens, and tomatoes with all the cooking I'm doing these days.
8. The clerk at the farm stand knows my name and my standard purchase; the clerk at the coffee shop does not.
9. My fiance asks me to slow down when we go for a walk (he is 9 inches taller than me).
10. My cats are mad that I get up to refill my water and move around regularly. They have stopped sleeping on my lap and nap on the cat stand now.
11. It is taking much longer to become a wine snob, because it takes forever to finish each bottle.

I waste too much time checking myself out in the mirror. My wife and her sisters constantly do this and I no longer can make fun of them for it.

1. New clothes, including bras (not cheap)
2. COLD all the time - WTheck
3. I'm also an introvert and I become a "deer in the headlights" when people notice & complement me
4. The left side of my body (weaker more deformed side) is finally getting stronger
5. I now help the hubs instead of him helping me (i open jars, lift heavy things, etc) = more work

This made me smile.

1) I almost broke my dog because he got tired of running before me.

1. New wrinkles where the fat has disappeared! Yeah! and I now spend a lot of $$ for fancy face cream
2. I have to wear my seatbelt now - it doesn't ride up over my boobs and choke me
3. My motorcycle got shorter and my handlebars are closer
4. I'm comfortable in the middle seat on a plane

I need to buy new bras. And my size keeps getting more and more annoying. I am headed into bra size purgatory.

I still have a ways to go, I am basically where I have been/was at from ages 22-28. So clothing is all mostly the same. I did need to ditch the stuff that was too big.

So funny. I hope bad things happen to me as a result of losing weight!

So This!!!

#1-My jeans are too big and look slouchy now, gotta come off with the money to get more.
#7- I'm hurting the economy too because I no longer eat at fast food places on a daily basis.

I got carded to buy a lottery ticket ( not joking)
I got mistaken for my 16 yr old's sister and it embarrassed her
My husband was accused of robbing the cradle by a coworker (he's 3 yrs younger than me)
My 16 yr old daughter steals all my clothes
Was excited to finally wear my favorite suit again only to find it was too big.

You definitely don't look old enough to have a 16 year old. I wouldn't be surprised if you told me you were in high school or college.

I can't stop shopping because it's fun that all my clothes are coming from the "regular" sizes and not the "plus" sizes. Unless it's something I really want, and then I buy it and take it in.

I actually want to go out and walk my dog for 3 miles.

I sleep better.

MaydayParadeGirl

this is great!

1. Walking into a job interview is still nerve wracking, but at least the interviewer doesn't have the "Holy ****, that lady is HUGE!" look
2. I'm shrinking out of my bras (trust me, this is good)
3. I have sharp elbows.
4. I am cold when the temperature is below 70. I wear wool lined slippers around the house all year 'round.
5. DH's t shirts are far too big.
6. I had to get new glasses because my old ones were too big and fell off when I bent over. Sheesh, even my head was fat, apparently.
7. I'm a cheap date since I eat much less.
8. My dog gets tired on walks long before I do.
