Bad things that have happened since I starting losing weight

Spend more money going out because I actually feel like going out with friends.

This is fun!

1. Last week I ran in my first race and my brother who was on the sidelines waiting to record me on his phone, almost completely missed me because he didn't recognize me, even though he should be used to seeing "the new me" by now!
2. I keep having to buy more hangers because I have gotten so many clothes at thrift stores because everything I try on looks awesome on me!
3. It takes forever to decide what to wear every day because I have so many cute outfits to choose from.
4. The constant compliments are started to become embarrassing.
5. My butt hurts even when I'm sitting on padded seats.
6. The local pizza shops that used to know us by name think we died.
7. I look good in every picture now, no editing required.
8. We have to walk the dog and then bring him back home so that we can go out for a real walk. He can't keep up with us.
9. It's really hard to get all of a food eaten before the expiration date.
10. I'm freezing all the time!!!
11. I had to re-size my wedding ring down 3 sizes. My husband actually lost his. It fell off! But, we found it and it is getting re-sized right now!
12. I have tiny wrists now too, and had to get my favorite Trollbead bracelet sized down 3 sizes as well.
13. I don't need wide width shoes anymore, so I can easily pick out a pair of shoes at any store. Now I'm obsessed with shoes and had to buy a giant shoe rack to hold them all!

Spend more money going out because I actually feel like going out with friends.

This and also the money spent on new awesome clothes!

This is a great thread! My bad thing is actually a bad thing for my husband - I now expect him to help with the laundry as I am no longer afraid of what will happen when he puts my clothes in the dryer. The dryer appears to have stopped shrinking my clothes!!

I just wanted to bring this wonderful and inspiring thread back up to the top!!

In addition to all the other dreadful things that have happened . . . .

. . . . I have to make sure my legs are exfoliated because I spend so much time in capri's at the gym.

I love thrift stores!!! I am looking forward to losing a lot so I can get more awesome clothes :-)

1. Im always cold now!!
2. Money saved on not eating fast food for lunch is now being spent on Gym membership & my obsession with Quest Bars. I love those damn things!! I blame MFP for turning me on to them in the first place!! :laugh:

3. Most of my wardrobe doesn't fit me anymore causing me to spend extra money to buy new clothes.
4. My new best friend is my belt.
5. My tailbone hurts when I sit on something hard or for long periods of time since the extra fluff is gone.

a) money saved from not eating at a surplus
b) money again saved from not buying clothes until i lose more
c) people expectations raised

are these good or bad?? umm dont know

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.

1. Definitely noticably colder than I was before I lost weight.
2. I'm actually helping the economy because I enjoy buying clothes. Before, I hated it. Nothing cute comes in fat girl sizes (in my opinion).
3. Skinny jeans and boots. I cannot get enough of them and I really need to stop spending money on these.
4. I'm going to end up drinking all the almond milk in the world and there will be none for the rest of you.
5. I can buy VS bras in the store now. Nothing hurts the wallet more than seeing how awesome the girls look in a VS bra. More helping the economy.
6. No longer being scared of riding the carnival rides with my son. I can comfortably fit in the kiddie rides with him. I must now buy extra tickets.

My weightloss seems to be helping the economy. :ohwell: :grumble:

what used to be a walk by "love pat" by my husband, who has very large heavy hands... is now like a consentration camp beating, with the lack of padding on my butt...

Love the thread. Hope to add to it some day!

This made me snile today. Thank you for your post! :-)

Not all bad, but recently:

1. I was told that I likely never had a weight problem in my life and can eat anything I want. <what! I count every calorie!>
2. My inspiration for losing weight told me that I am now smaller than she is.
3. I tried on, and fit in, a size 4 dress.
4. Some of the size 6 dresses that I just bought look baggy! < just went through my closet and packed away the size 10-12 items that I thought still fit but are really baggy on me>
5. I too had to buy new bras, and my underwear had to be replaced because they were falling off!
6. My running tights fell down my hips , had to buy size small
7. I am now getting my kids to run with me, my son is in the running club, and we have done a number of 5K runs together.
8. I have wasted a ton of money on physical therapy for my knee, because the pain went away with a little bit of personal training.
9. I am constantly surprised at my image in the mirror.
10. I no longer wear my class ring because it fell off. It is now in my safe. My wedding and engagement rings are loose but not to the point of falling off. I foresee visiting the jeweler soon.

I have just had to spend £54 getting my engagement ring reduced by 3 sizes!! Only thought it was 1.5 sizes too big so was really shocked (and pleased). I did double-check with the assistant that it was definitely 3 sizes!I have lost just over 4stone and am now the same ring size as when I met my other half ????❤
