Bad things that have happened since I starting losing weight

ftrobbie · May 2014

I have to share my couch.
I now do the cooking
The dishwasher appears to be on all the time
My feet are cold

Chuchiiee · May 2014

-Shopping. (I can't trust my current size anymore. I'm not done losing and I know the clothes I buy now won't fit. Or I buy a size smaller and wait for it to fit. I also have no clue what size jeans I wear. Seems like the smaller you become, the more variable the sizes become. I can wear a small but hmmm maybe I'll go medium or orrr do I want the baggy look and go large? So many choices! Shopping becomes less fun the more stuff I have to try on. I used to loveeee shopping especially when I found that one pair of jeans that would fit. It was like my one little rare gem. Now everything fits... I'm much too indecisive for that. )

-All of my clothes are too big for me. (On a budget so I have to make it work)

-I bought a pair of jeans from hollister a week ago as a treat and its feeling much looser already

-I get mild anxiety when I don't work out..even on rest days I have to tell myself to chill.

-People only want to talk to me about weight loss or how big they they think they are or how much I'm wasting away. Sometimes I just want normal conversations.. not what I eat daily, how long I exercise, how bad/good I look, or how big you think you are. >_>

-Everything on my body is a bit bony except for my tummy.

-No more boobs. My D cups are well... extinct cups.

-I found I've become more vain about my appearance. I only saw my tummy as a trouble spot. Now it's my back, my upper arms, my tummy, oh and if I could shrink my thighs a bit....

-Eating out scares me but I eat out much more frequently because I don't want people to think I'm suffering from anorexia... but then I tend to end up having salads with no dressing and that's no fun.

-I hate cooking but I find I cook more often.

My good capris that fit no longer do, I have to roll the waistband down so they pull up a bit and the booty doesn't sag.
And of all things, my underwear feels too big! I remember having to go up a size for it and it upset me so badly because you can stay in the same size underwear for a long time. Admitting I had to go up a size for it was like admitting how fat I was. Now I can enjoy the reverse effect!

I wear a bobble hat every day from Oct to May (am cold all the time). My nickname is BobblehatJulia

The man in the pizza takeaway doesnt send me a christmas card any more

I spend a mint on new clothes cos I like them, not cos they just fit

My panties fell off when I was walking

gcbma · May 2014

* I'm cold when I used to be so hot!
* I get almost daily comments on how my clothes/scrubs are falling off me. I don't want to put money into it when I plan on shrinking out of my current size too!
* I get irrationally annoyed with other's conversations on how "healthy" their diet is. Riiiight.
* I had my wedding rings resized for fear they would come off at work.
* When working out, my t-shirts are now IN THE DANG WAY!

dunnodunno · May 2014

1. It's so hard to shave my armpits now.
2. I had someone grab my arm the other week & tell me to eat a cheeseburger.
3. Clothing can be so expensive!

ksuh999 · May 2014

I need to buy new shorts. The ones I bought last summer when I was around 175lbs are way too big.

ValGogo · May 2014

1. I no longer float in the bath tub.
2. When I play guitar it now hangs from the strap instead of sitting on my belly.

2. that's so funny. does it affect your playing?

MrsJennaKwasniewski · May 2014

I am even more cold than I used to be and I am starting to develop the saggy skin that is not attractive!

sarahtsabo · May 2014

1. I see that some people spend less on food. I spend more! Fresh produce isn't always cheap

2. Finding someone who can wear my extensive too-big wardrobe. (Finally found someone!)
3. Just last night, to my delight (and slight horror...) sagging, loosening skin around my inner thighs. Weird.
4. My skin is always itchy. ALWAYS! (Anyone else experience this?)

ParamoreAddict · May 2014

I have no *kitten* haha

tatecass · May 2014

Most of these are really funny and totally relatable! For me, I LOVE clothes shopping, but my wallet and my husband? Not so much....

But I will take it over being as unhappy and overweight as I was! The other thing is if I don't get my workout in, I can be a real &!+(#.

allycolli · May 2014

Awesome thread! For me:

1. Fav clothes and shoes are too big. My wedding dress (I've been married almost 21 yrs) is huge on me.

2. Having a limited wardrobe. I'm trying to just buy a few things here and there since I'm not at my goal weight yet.

3. Had to buy a belt since I never needed one before.

4. Others' fixation my my weight. I actually had someone tell me how jealous and angry she felt whenever she saw me. . .wow.

5. Unwanted attention. It makes me uncomfortable when a church member ogles me from head to toe - ick.

6. Boobs. Sigh. . .

7. Time spent on food prep. It takes longer to pack my lunch for work since I need to cut up fruits and veggies.

8. Self-awareness. I'm so pleased with my progress, but also know that I'm not where I want to be yet and I'm so ready to be.

I can't buy all the clothes that I like/look good on me, because most of them do! Lol

At 100 pounds overweight I only shopped when I needed clothes and always had to buy what FIT and convince myself it looked ok or wasn't 'that bad'. Now I actually have choices and it's fun! Crazy and a little overwhelming sometimes

#4 - Yes, I do! Why is that??? I've been lotioning up like crazy.

EmmiDahling · June 2014

1. I feel like I'm getting pelvic bruises from a lack of padding when doing supermans
2. I have tank tops that could now be worn as dresses if only I had some leggings
3. I feel more compelled to take selfish and no longer protests when someone wants to take my picture

dlneitzel · June 2014

That loose under the chin skin.....affectionately called 'Mom's waddle'

k80flec · July 2014

@EmmidDahling - I so get it - no padding has revealed a prominent tailbone - which made a mess when I did 100 timed sit up - red raw!!

ShellF415 · July 2014

My pants keep falling down at work.

iandroid989 · July 2014

I can see my penis when I look down without the Viagra

Atrocity108 · July 2014

none of my clothes fit except for my shoes. Luckily, my feet wont shrink.

Meerataila · July 2014

Getting hit on by elderly gentlemen. In the mall, in the store, even in the pool. Three in a week and a half. It's like all of sudden I went from being invisible to everyone to being AARP catnip.

It's flattering, but I'd like to attract men my own age. The older ones around here tend toward certain political and social attitudes I don't embrace.

whovian67 · July 2014

my workout shorts fell down as I was walking from my car to my front door....

feralkitten1010 · July 2014

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

This makes me sad. I was an A/B cup all through high school. I'm a 36D right now. I wish I could keep them!!! :blushing:

TheSatinPumpkin · July 2014

I am now shorter when driving that i had to adjust the rear view mirror way down. Hopefully i can see over the dash when i am at goal. Least now i don't have a mammoth between me and the steering wheel.
