    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?)

    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 &!+(#.

    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.

    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

    @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!!

    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.

    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:
