I'm so happy I've lost weight because clothes shopping is fun again!

(I can go into a clothing store and actually try on the cute clothes in the misses section instead of being relegated to the ugly old lady prints in muumuu shape. I felt so triumphant walking past the dowdy clothes to try on something trendy)

    ...I am not freaked out by full-length mirrors or candid photographs like I used to be.

    QFT.

    I'm also so happy I've lost weight simply because now I don't have to lose weight anymore. One thing off the to-do list :)

    i feel so much more confident in every facet of my life-i feel like for once, i am just as good and just as worthy as anybody else.
    I feel healthy, light, and feel like what I have achieved is something to be proud of, and that my parents are proud of me (yes, their approval does mean alot).

    I'm so happy I've lost weight because my back no longer hurts, my knees don't groan, I don't run out of breath just moving around and I have dropped pant sizes twice in the last three months.

    Yup, happy is accurate.

    1. I can move without going, "Ouch, ouch, ouch," from a sore back, stiff joints, cramped lungs etc.
    2. I can get down into a squat and get up again without something nearby to climb on.
    3. I can walk my dogs for hours instead of just a few minutes.
    4. I don't have to run from cameras and mirrors anymore.
    5. I no longer have to worry about seeing old acquaintances and ex boyfriends, who only knew me as being thin and seeing their shock at my weight gain.
    6. Nothing chafes anywhere.
    7. I can shop in ANY store.
    8. I consider myself a healthy and fit person now and am making new friends.
    9. I am no longer making the local convenience store rich.
    10. I can paint my toenails.
    11. I realized I don't need a bigger bathtub after all.
    12. People come to me for advice on losing weight and I have it to share.
    13. I can participate in sports.
    14. I can fit on any adult ride at the fair.
    15. Sportchek has become my favourite store, not 7-11.
    16. I take more pleasure from new runners and fitness classes than I do from cooking and eating.
    17. I feel 20 years younger.
    18. Statistically I added years to my life.
    19. I get excited about the thought of running a 5k or starting a new fitness routine.
    20. My outside is starting to match how I feel inside: fit, healthy and happy!

    Omg, this is how I feel too! I still have a long way to go but already I feel a little less terrified about people I used to know judging me for how big I had gotten! Can't tell you the amount of things I have backed out of as I was too scared of being judged!

    My lower back doesn't hurt anymore, I don't get winded going up my stairs, and I'm just feeling better.

    I'll report back when I have something to add. I want this to be in my list of things I replied to.

    I am still fat, just not as fat. I hate it.

    Clothes for the workplace are so cheap now that I don't need bespoke suits.

    The weight loss is nice...but really, I'm happy that I'm now healthy and down to 2 medications from 7 and I'm more fit than I've been in years. The weigh loss is just a bi-product of good livin' and living a fitness oriented and nutritionally driven lifestyle.

    I can walk into the snobby stores and walk out without some snide remark about "not fitting into anything" from the clerks.
