    Your hats are loose.
    You need to put tape around your wedding ring to keep it on.
    You're man boobs dong giggle when you brush your teeth.
    You need to buy a new belt.
    You can outpace your kids when you go hiking.

    4) and yes you now have a larger penis (supposedly every 45 lbs lost = 1/4 inch of regained manhood)

    Now I just need to figure out how to lose 720 lbs. Considering I weigh 155, I am not liking my odds here.

    When you are trying to be a brat and refuse to move somewhere so your boyfriend just picks you up and sets you somewhere else.

    That's really sweet. My husband told me yesterday that he was a lucky man, guess that's about the same? I came back from a 3 mile jog and he told me I was hot, and I told him yeah I was a sweat puddle and he said that he meant sexy hot. Crazy, I felt like a sweaty pig.

    I think I knew when I looked down and didn't see my stomach poking out farther than my boobs. And what a glorious moment that was! xD

    When the gay guy at work who teasingly invites you to bears weekend in p-town every year looks you up and down and says "not this year, honey"

    (Men) When you are naked and look down and see a pen!s. This was a major accomplishment for me.



    I say this applies to men, becuase if you are a woman and look down and see a pen!s, then being fat probably wasn't your primary issue.

    best response.

    you go shopping and look at clothes in your new size and are still shocked that they fit.
    the regular size bath towel that wouldn't cover you before wraps nicely around you.
    the really fit people at the gym start making comments about the intensity of your workout.

    I don't know the answer, so I'm hoping you can help me out.

    This post got me thinking: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/989593-you-know-you-re-fat-when What is the reverse? I've never not been fat. What does that look like? What does that feel like?

    The OP is asking what is the reverse... lol! :laugh: Nobody answered this? :huh:

    OP, I've never been fat either... EXCEPT when I was lazy pregnant. I ate anything and everything and stopped working out and didn't work out for like 6mos after. I'm going to say that it feels gross. Especially if you're a former lean person. When they take that baby out your stretched out tummy becomes a raisin and your fat roll just kinda hangs (especially after a CSEC). It's really gross! Glad I didn't experience this during hot summer. Imagine the sweat in-between. EW. Anyway, this was my experience of becoming sloppy fat. I do think some people carry it better, I'm NOT one of those people. Back on track getting lean. I hope I'm never a lazy pregger again!

    Can comfortably cross your legs under a table. <
    That was my first indication of significant change. Ladies, I'm sure you can relate. :wink:
