Chez - although all points possess validity, I wouldn't change any of them for the world...and I'm betting you wouldn't either. Way to go!! :-)

I shrank out of all the pretty pants I only bought in September of this year.
My only belt I own is on the tightest hole and I need it for those pants.
I had to dig old clothes out of the closet that aren't in style.
I can paint my own toenails, no pedicure justification.
Haters at the salon cut my hair shorter for trims.
People don't know what to say about the loss.
I don't tell them that I've lost weight.
It's the elephant in the room.
Or no longer in the room.
Or in my pants.
Or tops.
Or car.

I was at a yard sale today and was so pi$$ed that I couldn't wear any of the adorable dresses my friend had for sale because they were size 14 and I DON'T WEAR THAT SIZE ANYMORE! They were like potato sacks on me! Oh darn! Gotta find me some size 8's I guess...

1. It takes FOREVER to wash and trim all the veggies I buy at the Farmers' Market every Saturday.
2. My skinny clothes are too big!
3. I had to make a new historical ballgown!
4. My standard-sized mattress has gotten a LOT bigger.
5. All the clothes on the clearance rack are too big! They used to be too small.
6. It's heavy carrying all those water bottles to work each day!
7. I can take off my wedding ring after years of it being permanently stuck.

Yes, this whole weightloss thing is just terrible!

I have no excuse now for not buying high heels as my knees are not now carrying a ton of weight around. So now I have got to stagger down the road to a party in my new high heeled sandals. Torture!

I just threw out $300 worth of clothing (lingerie) That killed.

I still have a long way to go , but in this process the bad thing that has happened to me since I started losing weight is....

- some one went in to my closet and stole all my skinny jeans and replaced them with baggy jeans.
- it looks like I'm bring back the sagging look, when I wear any of my pants, which appears inappropriate at work. It's not a thug life.
- I can't use the excuse of having to get a professional pedicure, because I can't see my toes because my gut is too big.
- Visa and Mastercard loves me because I have to keep buying new clothes.
- I can't use the excuse of honey not to night because I'm too tired , because I'm so full of energy and last all night.
- my hubby has to hug me tighter and closer because the fat roll and gut are no longer and put a distant between us.
- I realize I suck at sweeping the wooden floor, since I'm always on the floor doing push up ( when I started I could barely do one and now I can do 30 in 30 seconds) . That means I have to learn to sweep the floor better so I won't have the dirt as my workout buddy anymore.
- my stomach and *kitten* has decided to switch places. Before my stomach was in the lead and growing faster than my butt, but now the race has reversed and my *kitten* is now in the lead and my stomach has started to run backwards,lol. What's great about it is my Butt don't mind and it's lifted with it's buns in air and standing firm.:)
- My thighs and butt has shut down the cottage cheese (cellulite) factory and has left the building. Oh ya !!!!! The Cheese factory is out of business.

This is a great site and I could go on , but this will suffice for now.

My 1/4 cup stainless steel measuring cup appears to have been through a war. It's been used religiously and has disappeared countless times, only to be found when I turn on the garbage disposal.

It's been a constant and time-consuming struggle trying to stay properly dressed. I've taken stock in Hefty garbage bags and have had to make a thousand trips to Goodwill.

I can't even look at food without the calorie numbers running through my head.

I've grown a tired rear-end from hours of researching the levels potassium and Omega-3s in foods.

My water bill has increased from washing so many vegetables and soaking batches of dry beans.

Much of my skin resembles that of a shar-pei. :laugh:

This is so funny!!!!

The worst thing that's happened for me has been I no longer own any high-waisted shorts/skirts/pants because my waist has shrunk. They all now sit at my hips (or sometimes lower). It's a bit frustrating!!! :laugh:

Like most, my clothes don't fit, and don't get me started on my underwear.
Two years ago I had my wedding/eternity ring made bigger to fit, now I have to have them made smaller again.
I HAVE to shave my legs and under arms more regular 'cause I wear short skirts and t-shirts these days.
I'm eating more salad/fruit than ever before.
Consequence: I poop much easier :noway:
My teenage boys expect me to go swimming with them now and I've no excuse not to.
My husband is beginning to show me more interest, darn

1. I am cold all the time. But, this summer I am used to walking i to a restaurant or the movies wearing a sundress but carrying a jacket.
2. I do miss my wedding rings. They are currently 3 1/2 sizes too big at last check.
3. All these weird, hard pointy things are called bones. Didn't know that it's my first time seeing them.
4. I am a teacher and a parent told me I looked taller.
5. Buying new shoes...even flip flops are too big
6. Being shocked when I pick up a medium and in some stores that's too big. ( Never saw that one coming. )
7. Undies and bras...enough said. ????

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:

1. I need to buy a new wardrobe - my clothes are too big!
2. I'm an introvert, and am embarrassed by the compliments I receive regarding how my appearance has changed.

These are definitely the two I've noticed!

Also when shopping for new clothes I instantly go to the larger sizes and refuse to believe anything from the 'normal' ranges will fit...then get a shock when it does

all I can say is that I can't wait for a girl to spank me.....:laugh: :drinker:

My 16 yr old daughter steals all my clothes

This!! I went out and bought new jeans because mine were all falling off. My 13 year old daughter stole them all. Now I have to go hunt through her closet everytime I do the laundry.

I have lost a few friends.. but earned a bunch of new champion ones
I got to buy new exercise pants which show way too much hip, more hip than I'm used to. The only high-waist ones can only be found in the X sizes.
My extended family think I'm crazy and living dangerously practicing my exercise of choice, hoping I'll get over this obvious mid-life crisis soon.
My middle-school hormone-challenged kid is cursing me for wearing a bikini and wants the donuts around my waist back cuz it's more comfie and it's more like her real mommy.
I've become arrogant. I naively thought it was called confidence
Speaking of confidence, I get weird looks from younger men. That's just bizarre. But great for the ego.

The first time i got healthy, the bad thing that happened was i got confident enough to realize that the dirtbag loser i was seeing was going to get me nowhere in life so i dumped him. A little too much "fun" ensued, but i came out the other end fine

I had to go back to work on the 4th day after having my gall bladder removed! I only took 2 days off work! Had I been carrying the extra weight, I'm sure I could have at least taken a week off!

It has taken over my life.

1. Spent all allowance on a better " Spinner" exercise bike.
2. Spending loose change on work out videos, HRM, etc
3. Have begun obsessing on work out gear, shoes, clothes, etc
4. get a case of the GRUMPS if I do not work out at least 45 minutes/ day. Rest days kill me.
5. yard is mowed and bushes trimmed within a inch o their lives, yard work is good exercise!
6. floor is trip hazard with bike shoes,walking shoes, hand weights, stacks of DVDs in corner, extra load of laundry due to work out clothes.
7. Hubs has learned to watch tv while I ride said bike.
8. gave old recumbent bike to parents ( Hand me up bike? )
9. skinny jeans dont fit my calves due to bike riding!- not fat legs! I had to laugh in the dressing room!

1. Going to restaurants is not as interesting since I cannot manage to eat an appetizer, main course, dessert, bread and wine. I get full somewhere after the appetizer. Need to make hard choices.
2. My elderly dog who follows me around the house is irritated because I carry the laundry from the basement to first floor to second floor without stopping.
3. The first set of exercises the trainer gave me at the gym got so easy he gave me some new much more difficult ones.
4. Some V neck t shirts which were still passable otherwise show far too much cleavage.
5. The cleavage shows much more since I got some new bras which are several band sizes smaller and cup sizes larger.
6. I am using lots of gas making trips to Goodwill, Dress for Success, etc.with clothes.
7. I use more electricity running the dishwasher more often since I cook at home almost all the time, and use more pots and bowls to cook veggies.

and I so agree with:

8. Knees knocking when I lie on my side

My feet got smaller and I had to give away so many shoes :sad:

Since I've been eating less, I'm spending less time on the toilet. Now, I never know what's going on in the newspaper.

What are some of the "bad" things that you've noticed?

That's why I kept for years all my clothes from when I was 40-60 lbs lighter! It is such a joy to go shopping in my closet. :laugh:

I kept all my lighter weight clothes, but now it is crop pants instead of coullotts

When I'd lost weight I really missed my 'Nicole! Papa!' (old Renault Clio advert in the UK) dress (red with polka dots) which I'd got rid of when I'd been too big for it for so long.

Now every red polka dot dress calls my name. I've resisted so far, but I've seen a red, polka dot hospital gown...
