Bad things that have happened since I starting losing weight

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 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...

your too funny...great job on your weight loss.

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 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.

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:

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. ????

Lets keep this going it's so hilarious in a good way.

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

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.

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!

Bump

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

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.

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...
