You Know You're Losing Weight When.....

You start trying on every pair of jeans to find that only one pair fits anymore and that pair requires a belt! Never thought I'd be in a size 8 ever again but am so happy to be!

You're no longer tired all of the time because of the crap you used to eat.

This and the loose underwear ring true for me.

Also when you are finally able to look at yourself in the gym mirror during exercise because you are proud of and confident in yourself.

When you decide to take a bath (versus a shower) for the first time in 11 months... and your hips dont touch the sides of the tub anymore! Then you hop up, run into the kitchen to tell your hubby... not quite dried off, slip and fall, spraining your ankle and have to take a trip to the ER to make sure it isnt broken.. because it IS blue, and now swollen...

True story.

Try explaining that one to the 110 pound female doctor who did NOT understand and asked you to keep repeating your story, eyeballing your husband & then took him into the hall to confirm your story.. then asked me if she could run an alcohol test on me, (because of the medication i am on)

REALLY WOMAN? I was just freaking happy... Not that you would understand what it feels like!

Someone bring me a fat, female doctor please!! Geeze, what's a woman gotta do to get fair treatment around here??

When your doctor wants to post your picture for being a star patient. She printed a graph of where I was when I started (prior to MFP) and I am down a total of 80lbs now.

Have lost 4 pant sizes. I can jump without hurting myself! I can walk for a long, long time without getting winded. And best of all, my daughters said "mom, you have an hourglass figure!"

you can now squeeze behind things to pick up something you lost instead of moving the item its stuck behind.

Walking down the isles to get a seat in the middle of the theatre isn't so hard anymore.

You have to put ur most special ring from hubby on a chain and wear it around ur neck

You have to rearrange which rings go on which fingers and some are so loose they are banished to the drawer.

You look at urself in the mirror before putting ur pj's on and marvel at ur wrinkly belly which now has a big dent in it

You keep playing with the bony parts of your shoulder joints coz u don't ever remember the tops of ur arms feeliing like this before

Your stretch knickers that used to pull everything together are more inclined to creep downwards during the day

You have already had one link taken out of ur watch strap and the damned thing is starting to slip again. Won't be too long before another link bites the dust.

You develop a turkey gobble and can't wait for it to shrink away, that is if they do LOL (it's the loose skin under ur chin).

When you do t have to search through your closet for something to wear because everything fits you!
When sex is super amazing because your not trying to hide your body.
When you WANT to go outside in the hot sun and play with your kids instead of plopping them in front of the tv

I had to buy new high heels because my old ones are too big now.

I'm no longer 'the fat girl' in the photo.

I can wear sexy dresses on a night out without feeling out of place.

When I meet people I haven't seen since school they're genuinely surprised at how much better I look.

lol, I cant wear my wedding band until I either get a guard or get it made smaller!
