      Bump...can't wait to experience some of these "bad things"
    • Posts: 839 Member
      My $99 "booty jeans" fit like... regular jeans....
      My yoga pants fit like sweats, and tying them is no longer optional.
      I only have three pairs of dressier pants that are even close to fitting now, and I have to be careful they don't snag and come off.
      A few of the older (all married) guys in my volunteer organization started hitting on me, and I get ogled a lot at the meetings.

      1) always freezing :) increased snuggling time needed to keep warm
      2) supporting the underwear industry as had to replace bras and underwear several times
      3) sigh... finding out my real bra size was a 36F instead of the DD's I was used to (see #2)
      4) random desires to go for a walk... with a fleece jacket... in 70 degree weather when other people are wearing shorts (see #1)
      5) lost my taste for KFC/McD's/Jack in the Box which means I actually have to cook my own food
      6) spending more money on clothes, because I can buy them anywhere now... and apparently I have no self control and I need more (see #1)

      This is just the start of all my new hardships :tongue:

      Bad things happen when you lose weight.

      I've just had a bath and:
      1) I needed more water (not very Eco friendly) to cover me as I was displacing less.

      2) A reduction in padding on my *kitten* resulted in reduced protection for my coccyx - discomfort!! took some of the gloss of the experience!!

      All my clothes are baggy, but I don't want to buy more yet as I still have more weight to lose.

      I now have a cushion on our wooden chairs at the dinning table as I've lost the padding around my butt.

      I now have an inflated credit card bill because of all the new clothes I just HAVE to buy... Also I can't hold my vodka anymore. Damn.

      Some of these comments are hilarious and so true, I wish I could think of something worthy of posting, but basically all that I can think of is the fact my old clothes no longer fit.

      Skirt slipped to my knees while chasing the bus. My kids thought it was hilarious. Fortunately, I had on leggings.
      Oh, this happened to me once years ago, only it was a half slip...and a train...and no leggings...and I got laughed at.... :wink:

      1) I haven't lost that much yet but already my bras don't fit and I don't want to buy new ones until I reach my goal but I might have to.
      2) It hurts when my cat sleeps on my rib upper belly area.
      3) Being checked out by creepy dudes when I'm running.
      4) My rings don't fit.
      5) My shoes are big.
      7) More dishes because I cook at home a lot more.
      6) Deciding if I want to wait to buy clothes now or later (belts are a new thing in my life).

      1. i get men hitting on me because of the way i look not because of my personality (not used to this)
      2. i feel like im false advertising as under my size 8/10 (us) clothes i look like i have had 3 kids with my horrible belly i can suck in with good underwear
      3. i have excess skin that looks like fat
      4. i have people telling me im losing to much even tho im right in the middle of my bmi
      5. my skin is so elasticated i can pinch it away from ANYWHERE on my whole body nothing feels tight anymore
      6. clothes have cost me a fortune so many things wasted with tags on
      7 i forgot what its like to have volume in my boobs nothing works two flap jacks which when pushed up have skin creased lines in, i have had to cover them for the last 40 pounds loss

      and i will put up with it all happily to be healthy and confident

      2 and 7 will be taken away after tummy tuck and breast uplift with implants :)

      My wife made me buy new jogging pants for around the house as she was tired of seeing the top of my butt. I also have friends that do not associate with me as much any more. The way I look at it is this, they are going through something right now and my triumphs may make them feel bad about themselves. All you can do is ask if they are ok and make an effort to help them in a way that they wish.

      I am surrounding myself with positive people. If they do not like the new me, that is ok too, friends come and go... you are stuck with yourself for the long haul! ;)

      - All of the band tees that I've been collecting since middle school are now literal tents on me )':
      - As many have already said, the annoying perpetual coldness and newfound difficulty in sitting comfortably.
      - I don't automatically get dibs on the front seat of the car anymore (on account of the extra room I needed when I was heavier) and consequently have to squeeze in the back with the rabble now.
      - I've always been super uncoordinated and prone to bumping into things or tripping, but without the extra weight anchoring me to a certain degree I've become a 24/7 one woman slapstick act.
      - Strangers actually talk to me now! On one hand, this is kind of nice but I also have debilitating social anxiety so I get pretty flustered when it happens.

      - All of my "skinny" jeans are now too big
      - My calves appear to have gotten smaller and my boots are too big
      - Laying on my side on the floor makes my hipbones hurt
      - Sitting on an airplane makes my butt go numb

      I'm ok with them, I'd rather be fit than fat!

      I spend far too much time flexing in front of the mirror.... :embarassed:

      1. I now have a nick name, "skinny", which bugs me. :ohwell:
      2. Tail bone issues
      3. Freezing all the time, which is driving family crazy, :laugh:
      4. Clothes baggy, not so much now as I am close to goal weigh. :smile:
      5. Loose rings

      I get cold SUPER easily! I think it has something to do with body fat.

      Increased anxiety.

      1. My belts are too big.
      2. I turn down going out with family and friends because I want to work out, or don't want to eat out (more difficult to track!).
      3. I was just in New Orleans for two months, and the only New Orleans food I ate was a beignet, once.
      4. I get really upset if I can't exercise.
      5. I'm running out of clothes that fit and don't have the money to replace them.

      Oh how things have changed! :laugh:

      OH shame on you:happy: the beignet I understand that one, but to not eat anything else, I could not do it, to much seafood so little time.

      I was wondering when the tail bones showed up in my *kitten*, honestly they were never there before. I just don't understand it

      I'm always cold but my family are all hot natured. Had to give away majority of my clothes because they were too big for me.

      Haha, these threads are wonderfully funny.

      Here's mine (and I'm not quite done losing weight yet):

      #1: I am now usually cold-- before I was always TOO HOT :mad:

      #2: If I lie on my side a certain way in bed, my knees hurt each other because they are bonier

      #3: I am going to have to spend a whole lot of moolah on new clothes, because I've been a size 8/10 for the past 5 years and now I'm a size 4/6!

      #4: I am realizing that a number of my pretty dresses were chosen to hide my belly. . . I don't really want to wear them anymore since now (and especially when I get to my goal) I have a nice trim figure and I'm going to show it off, damn it! So I need to get different styles of dresses so I can SEE my nice new body (more $$$$ spent)

      #5: Even my workout clothes are beginning to fall off, and my sports bras are no longer effective support!

      #6: I have to drive 1.5 hours to take nice clothes to a second-hand shop that will pay me for them! (Do you see a trend here? LOL)


      Hahaha!

      I lost the little amount of boobs that I had. Like seriously. It's tragic. On the bright side my butt looks good. :)

      I lost two bra sizes, and I still have ten pounds to go! My fiance is starting to miss them! lol

      163 lbs: 36D
      153 lbs: 34D
      143 lbs: 34C

      When I hit 130 lbs. I'll be a B-cup at this rate! lol

      I'm on more meds now than I was because I'm more active, I use my puffers so I can run!
