Bad things that have happened since I starting losing weight

knitbytes

This thread is hilarious and I love it!

Here's my list...

1. I have to buy all new clothes every 2-3 months, it is getting super expensive! Serves me right for giving up on ever losing weight, 3 years ago, and donating all my "skinny" clothes when we moved!
2. BRAS. OMG. I have already had to donate 8 or 9 really expensive bras because they don't fit anymore, and now my band size is so small (and cup size so huge) it's really hard to find bras that fit right!
3. Cold, cold, cold. I used to be totally comfy at 48F in a tshirt, but this morning I was shivering at that temp in a 1/2 sleeve cardigan! Winter is gonna be tough...
4. My wedding band is so big it spins on my finger! My engagement band is smaller & keeps the wedding band on, but soon it will be too big too!
5. My formerly favorite foods, fried chicken and other fried/greasy things, are wayyyy too greasy now and make me sick.
6. I look less & less like my driver's license photo and work ID photo every day... scared people will think it's a fake!
7. People willingly sit next to me on the bus even if other seats are open. They used to always sit by thinner people to have more room, but I'm thin enough now that I don't scare them off with how much space I use up.
8. I can't float as mindlessly in water anymore and soon I'll actually have to tread water like my husband does!
9. I am getting close to as thin as my "thin" friends and might get thinner than them, which makes me feel super super guilty however some of them have started working out because I've inspired them, which is awesome!
10. I have SO much less free time now, because I spend so much time working out and going to yoga classes. I miss my hobbies!

oh and 11. shopping takes SO much longer because I can wear "normal" sizes now, and the selection is 3-4 times the size of the plus size selection. And suddenly there are about 10x more stores I can even walk into because they actually carry a size I can wear!

Not knowing which size to wear because of the weight I lost from my pregnancy. I'm anywhere from a size 7-11 depending on the piece of clothing. I feel so odd not knowing which size to get.

My list:

1) Spending a small FORTUNE on reusable plastic containers for my lunch.
2) Spending more for laundry detergent (now wearing TWO sets of clothes per day - work clothes + gym clothes)
3) Spending more on dishwashing detergent.....since I'm cooking more at home. Lots and lots of dishes to wash now.
4) Foregoing new work clothes in favor of cuter WORKOUT clothes.
5) Making time in my weekend schedule to a) make a menu and grocery list and b) grocery shopping.

Yesterday I noticed that as I carried the laundry basket upstairs it kept sliding off my waist. There wasn't that ledge there to hold it up for me! LOL

Anybody know where to rest your hands during boring meetings? 2 inches of jolly jelly belly gone...can't put them there anymore...

Anybody?

*raises hand* Oohh! Oooooooh! I know the answer to this one! I now place them on the arm rests OR cross my legs and rest them on my knee for that laid back, "Yeah, I'm thin enough to be comfortable like this" look.

OMG, I LOL'd at this so much!! awesome!

I love this threa. So let's see...

1. Like the OP, I need to get my wedding ring sized (for the second time!) and I hate paying someone to take my gold!
2. My hubby won't stop touching me
3. I bought a bunch of dresses along the way because they last for more sizes before they look stupid...now I need new ones because they are all way too big
4. I have lost my will to sit in my recliner all day and watch tv and eat (I am missing so many tv shows!)
5. I forgot that I am a useless loser and believed enough in myself to apply to law school (and get accepted!)


he he he :flowerforyou:

RAWK. ON. (I want to go back for a degree in psychology... still working on the courage to go)

Today I decided to go through all of my jeans.. Since it's summer, I've been basically living in my shorts at home, and my scrubs at work, so its been a couple months since I've worn jeans.. I have exactly one pair that fits!!! Out of about 10! Holy cow, I had to try them all on again to double check!
Guess I have to make a trip to the mall.... Darn.. =D

I keep forgetting I need less space to get around/through things, so people look at me funny when I try to avoid things :P

1: My self esteem has sky rocketed and turned me into the not so shy girl who got out on the dance floor at the bar and let loose for once.
2: I smile all the time cause my brain has that "confidence" boost thing going on
3: I Too can no longer sleep in late cause I wake up full of energy.
4: I barley have time to read except mostly before bed cause im so active during the day I just don't have time to pick it up and when I do I get through two sentences and the next thing I know im waking up with a book on my face.

THREE things that stand out to me:

1) I have bagged 3 huge leaf bags full of clothes (so far) that no longer fit = BARELY ANYTHING LEFT TO WEAR

2) When I go shopping for new clothes, I keep looking at the old size that I was and then realize that size no longer fits me. WHAT WAS I THINKING?

3) I LIVE IN MY GYM CLOTHES
