    9. I need to get my wedding ring re-sized so it won't fall off my finger.

    This. We actually got new wedding bands before our 5th anniversary and the size was maybe just a hair bigger, but it was a little loose on my ring finger, so I've been wearing it on my middle finger until we can get it re-sized. Since then, I absolutely CAN'T wear it on my ring finger. It just plain won't stay on.

    Also my cats are having a harder time laying on me at the same time. There's not as much room.

    Won't someone think of the cats!

    I'm cold ALL the time! Winter was almost unbearable for me because I was so cold. I guess having 92 extra pounds really makes you hot!


    I'm with you - this happens to me all the time now!

    when people hug me they feel closer! It was weird trying to adapt to the closeness of a hug.

    EXACTLY!!! Suddenly everyone was invading my invisible mental bubble I have around me...LOL

    Ooh, I thought of another one.

    The formerly solid reasons I came up with for not exercising are much less convincing to me lately. Same goes for the justifications for picking up junk food snacks/take away dinner "just this time".

    I fear this means I am losing the power of persuasion :(

    I still have about 38 pounds to go but the strangest thing to me is getting some young kids pip their horn at me when I'm out running. Makes me feel like a teenager.

    My hunky husband is always grabbing my behind and is always telling me he has to do a double take when he sees me walking by. Makes my heart go boom!

    I no longer have to continuously adjust the seat belt off my neck in the car but because it's such a habit, I still do it!!!!!

    No more ergobaby waist extender!!!!

    I wear my old jackets over myself and my toddler when babywearing, lol!

    I can't wear my fat clothes anymore, I can fit in one leg of my biggest shorts!

    I can't sit still at church anymore, my weight can't hold me down anymore during praise and worship!

    This was the motivation that I needed today! All these things sound so wonderful and I cant wait to get to them! It was also neat to see some people on here with similar goals and have achieved them!

    Mine is:

    Now my resting heart rate is so low that I actually passed out during blood donation due to my heart rate and BP dropping to critically low an resulting in me being taken to the ER and being black listed from donating ever again.

    I have had to pay £15 to have a favourite skirt taken in! !!! Outrageous!
    My son says with a worried frown "I don't think you should lose any more weight."
    I have to take my own washing upstairs to hang it up. My husband used to take it as it was too heavy for me. What a shame!
    Like others, the pleasure of just vegging out on the sofa has gone. I keep wanting to get up and lift some weights. Bad feeling!
    I used to love my afternoon nap. One of life's great pleasures. Now I'm not tired. Very bad feeling!
    So many bad things. I don't know why we bother to lose weight.

    I need to buy new, smaller luggage because my clothes take up less space
    I have to get rid of perfectly good clothes when they've hardly been used
    When clearing out closet and drawers I find items I've purchased for when I lose weight that are too big
    I keep changing shoe size - 9w to 9 to 8.5 to 8...
    I don't get to sleep in because I'm not tired in the morning
    I don't get days off work sick due to sleep deprivation/sleep apnea migraines
    I paid hundreds of dollars for a biPap I no longer need
    My husband worries more for me since people are taking more notice of me
    My wedding ring has become a finger hula hoop
    I get embarrassed when people tell me how much "better" I'm looking and compliment me on weight loss
    I can wear high heels comfortably. Wearing high heels causes noise pollution from tap tap tapping around on hard surfaces
    I am tempted to sit in the sun wearing less clothing, potentially putting me at risk of sunburn and melanomas
    I want to go to diners and fast food places, just because I can fit in the booths

    Instead of staring at my gut and frowning I now flex in the mirror. It's making me late to work.

    What's the knot in the middle of my chest??? Oh it's my sternum...

    Female coworker called me hot after another coworker tried to sush her because "sexual harassment." It's awful being harassed at work. :wink:

    Hate running up the stairs to my 3rd floor aparment everyday without feeling winded.

    Wearing too big clothes becuase I'm waiting for my goal weight before I buy new ones.

    Clothes that I did buy are now getting too big too.

    I had to get rid of some really nice jeans and shirts.
    Fast food doesn't taste the same to me anymore.
    People tell me I'm too skinny and need to gain weight.

    1: I was told by an Aunt that I needed to *stop* losing weight because I was too skinny! (yet I'm back where I started? o.0)
    2: My boyfriend complimented me on the six-pack I was forming (which I think he's kinda jealous of)
    3: I think my boyfriend might be jealous of my (developing, before falling off the bandwagon) six-pack
    4: The lovely skirts I bought over the winter keep getting looser on me
    5: Its harder for me to stay warm
    6: Which sometimes makes it harder to sleep at night.
    7: I feel bad when circumstances force me to find foods at Dollar General or worse, fast-food places.
    8: I wonder if I really should be eating that slice of my favorite cheesecake
    9: I felt guilty buying that last box of s'more pop-tarts
    10: Which just didn't taste as yummy as they used to, even toasted.

    #?: When I make my short-term goal and then my long-term goal for fitness I'll have to go through my wardrobe!

    1. I can no longer blame acting like a b**** on my clinical depression since I naturally have a sunnier disposition.
    2. My exercise bike's pedals are squeaking because I use them so much. Very noisy.
    3. I don't burn my lovely, expensive scented candles as much anymore because I'm too busy exercising or being outside instead of sitting on my butt all day.
    4. My husband, whose chore it is to take out the trash, has to make more trips to the compost bin because we're eating a lot more fruits and veggies.
    5. Poor Campbell's soup! I no longer buy their cream-of-whatever-crap soup to make fattening recipes anymore. Same goes for Pillsbury and their pizza crusts in a can.
    6. I now eat weird things like quinoa, chia seeds, hormone-free milk, and organic fruits and veggies because I actually care about what goes in my body.
    7. Olive Garden breadsticks taste like CRAP now! They are soooooo not worth their caloric content.
    8. And worst of all, my daughter will have to suffer the embarrassment of having a MILF.

    I also bought some Poptarts the Cupcake flavored ones & realized I didn't care for them as much as I used too.

    1) No longer have to worry about sitting at a both at a restaurant.
    2) Not afraid to sit in those plastic or folding lawn chairs.
    3) Don't have to pay that $2 extra charge on bigger clothes.


    oooohhhh... I hate paying extra for clothes..

    haha the soap one was my favorite, The only downside I have found is it looks like someone let the air out of boobs, they are a little sadder these days.... my butt however is a little higher so I will take it!

    I can't date guys who are into BBWs...
    And I get mistaken for my (petite) sister a lot more often.
    I get cat called and hit on more often.

    :( Life is tough.




    I'm veryyy sorry to hear about your misfortune! how do you handle just hardships? :P

    Hahaha, I love this!

    1. I lost my pants at work because I was too cheap to shop for more clothes.
    2. I decided to buy dresses thinking I'd get more use out of them than pants, and now I look like a girly girl (HURL)
    3. I've gotten tired of explaining "how I'm losing the weight".
    4. I'm getting groped by coworkers grabbing my ribs, waist, and hips while exclaiming, "You are shrinking!!!"
    5. A female coworker spanked me on the *kitten* and said, "Damn, your *kitten* is looking smaller."
    6. I liked getting spanked by a girl
    7. My food is rotting and I keep throwing it out, because I can't eat it fast enough

    HYSTERICAL !!! :)

    OMG, it's not just me! I was so sick of (and broke from) buying new clothes for work every 2 months that I bought a bunch of skirts and dresses that I'm hoping will last me the summer... but it is SO WEIRD to have a friend comment on "all my cute skirts and dresses" and have people tell me "you look beautiful today". I'm SO used to being invisible in dark slacks and a dark top!

    1. I didn't recognize myself in the gym mirror the other day during my workout.
    2. My hubby had to do a double take to recognize me at a wedding that we arrived separately to (he was in the wedding and I didn't want to sit around for 3 hours while they did pictures)
    3. A coworker threatened to take me to the thrift store to buy me clothes that fit - everything looked like potato sacks on me.
    4. I got nasty looks at the gym when I showed up on crutches in a knee brace 3 weeks after surgery... apparently I was crazy or something.
    5. Clothes shopping takes far too much time and is overwhelming with all the options.
    6. I am apparently in denial when I do go shopping, because it takes at least 3 trips to the fitting room with progressively smaller sizes to find what actually fits now...
