Funny things you notice as you lose weight

My pants are so baggy now, that i'm starting to look like MC Hammer.

I can happily fit in a cinema seat without being pinched, I can see my clavicles and I have a waist!

I can do situps now without suffocating on my own boobs!

My ring has started falling off in the shower
I've had to buy a new belt
I can do up my 'skinny' (size 14) shorts that I bought 3 years ago when I was smaller.
My tummy no longer goes out past my boobs
My boyfriend has commented that I am looking "even more sexy than usual" :blushing:

I was laying in bed recently on my Tummy reading my computer. My hubby comes in to have me check out ebay auction. He laid half his body his legs on his part of the bed and used his elbow to prop up his upper torso of his body using my rear end to support himself with his elbow. The weight of his elbow digging into me actually hurt me and I said "ouch" and he said "what has happened to my cushy rear end pillow its gone! He said "I have leaned my elbow and laid like this before to look at your computer and I use to be able to see the computer screen and now I can't see it like I did before.He laughed and said "His cushy pillow was gone" He had to sit up to look at the computer. He is always commenting the size of my hips have gone down in inches a lot. I liked the size of my hips before and so did he. I would have preferred the fat leaving first in other more critical areas of my body like Tummy, thighs. OH well I am just grateful the excess inches are leaving. This is my NSV that I have noticed and it has only been 20 lbs I have a long way to go yet and reading the comments posted here is encouraging.

My husband prefers me fat....I am getting too much attention now...very jealous...grrr.

It takes less time to shave my legs

Yep! Funny how weight affects so many little things.

I don't need my own zip code.
I am not in ICU for a heart trauma.
I can clip my toenails.

I seem to get a glow, so when I'm walking down a street or talking to people I've never met, they tend to give me the 'deer in headlights' look.

I see myself in the mirror everyday without clothes on. Last night before bed I pulled my shirt off (of course most people would still be disgusted) I could see just how much things have changed.

Waking up in the morning and only taking like ten minutes to wake up instead of 2 hours.

Seeing my thighs finally toning up... and matching what my calves have looked like for years.

How HUGE my tattoo on my bicep looks.

How I really need to "relace" my shoes... because in only 3 weeks they are so big my foot slides around enough to get blisters while working out.

I too now notice I can fit into a booth so much better! I don't panic that the seatbelt on the plane won't fit, and I can actually pull some extra thru!, My towel covers so much more now at the gym too. My goal is that when something drips while eatingt, that it will land on my lap. THAT will be a NSV !!!

I don't have nightly heartburn anymore!

I was able to squeeze into my wedding ring this week (still a little tight but actually can be taken on and off)

I love this thread. I've come across a ton of things as I've dropped my 118 lbs. I mowed my back yard last night in shorts and a sports bra. That was a BIG DEAL for me. I've experienced a lot of these other things too, seat belt extender no longer needed on the plane was a pretty big one. Discovering muscles in my arms, that was funny (I thought I had a lump?). Being able to tuck my towel around me, pretty friggin sweet. Just taking up less space in general is awesome. Not hating everything I try on. Not having to check wherever I'm about to sit to make sure it can support me. Not having to look at labels to see if it'll support 250+. I still get busted for spot checking wherever I'm about to sit or go.

The libido increase, is off the friggin chart. I exhaust my husband. I feel so much sexier. I saw a pic of myself (that I didn't know was taken... *ahem*) that had me in a cute bra/panty set... and I didn't hate the pic. My back fat rolls are gone. HELL YES. Time for that back piece (tat) that I've been waiting to do.

Loving all of these (re)explorations. Every.single.one.

My husband prefers me fat....I am getting too much attention now...very jealous...grrr.

My husband has mentioned he will have to fight off all the male attention I get now. He said "I will have to watch all these guys" - I said "no, just watch yourself!"

I have also gone down a few bra sizes, grr.
Hip bones, who knew!
Collar bonnnnes.
My wrists are smaller which makes me smile, I don't know why.
My towel wraps around me.
I sleep in my underwear without feeling embarressed. I even walk around in my workout bra and a pair of shorts at home and - I would not DIE of embarrassment if a neighbor saw.
I run the milk order at work (5-7 crates with 4 gallons of milk in each) down to and through the basement one crate at a time, which I always did, but now I do it quickly and don't collapse afterwards.
I am not embarrassed to go out anymore. Which is incredibly sad.

My FAV - When I sit in a chair. Any chair. I can get all cozy and comfy and pull my legs up close to me or cross my legs or whatever. I always did that but it is SO much nicer at 138lbs than 230lbs, trust me!

Reading through these gives me the fuzzies
Here is my list:
-seeing my face in in pictures go from being round to oval
-my eyes look bigger
-my collar bone sticks out now without me having to turn a certain way just to see it
-I can sit with my legs crossed without them going numb
-my boobs are getting smaller, but I'm not complaining
-seeing my hip bones when I lay flat on my back
-the gap between my legs now starts mid thigh and not at my knees like it used to
-my sex drive is through the roof
-putting on my high school kilt and it falling off of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- my younger sister stealing my clothes, because they're small enough for her to wear now too.

Someone told me they were feet with toes :noway: but I think they are lying, dont know about the dangly thing though :bigsmile:

TWENTY toes? Gosh.

My ribcage has lost its padding and jolts against my elbow when I'm lazing around in bed. Feels weird.

I counted them, twice. And then added those two counts together and came up with 20. It's the new math. Counting to 10 twice is equal to counting to 20 once. See how that works.
