Skinny/ Fit people Problems

in Health and Weight Loss
Today on my feed, one of my friends said, "It's so hard to burn 1000 pounds when you only weigh ** pounds." I thought to myself, Skinny (fit) people problems, lol.

What new "problems" do you have now that you are thinner, fitter, or have a healthier lifestyle.

Note: 1) Please don't lecture me about the word, "skinny" I know most of us don't even want to be "skinny", but that is the widely used word so indulge me.
2) Even though many of us are no where near "skinny" and maybe don't even consider ourselves fit yet, there are new "problems" associated with our new MFP lifestyle.

For me, I found myself saying today, "Honey, I can't fit anymore fresh fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator!" I usually buy so many boxed carbs, etc, that the pantry is full and not the fridge. I call that a "skinny/ fit people problem":)

    My wedding rings spin around and feel like they're going to fly off, sometimes I try on a small shirt and it's too big, sometimes I find that the size extra small fits but the sleeves are too tight on my biceps, the ankle straps on a lot of scrappy shoes are too loose even on the last hole...

    I went from being able to buy cheap bra's at walmart to having to try and find a bra in my size that isn't going to cost $60+. :sad:

    My closet is becoming empty as I slowly get rid of the clothes that are too big for me.

    I've been spending more time "in bed" with my husband than in previous years. In fact that is the reason we have a 2 month old now. :tongue: :laugh:

    I have to wear my wedding rings on a necklace currently. The last time I wore them on my finger, they flew off my hand during a workout.

    My clothes are getting baggy. I realized today that I need to go shopping for smaller sizes. I've wanted to have this problem for awhile:wink:

    Jeans never fit. Tiny waist, good size thighs and buns. So, anything that is wearable is loose at the hips

    I really love going for my workouts, so I wanted new, fun and funky clothing to match my excitement for my gym time. Soooo, I am now on the hunt for cute tanks and shorts or capri's. My closet has gone from "frump" to "funk" and I love it - but, I see it as a "problem". Nobody needs as many tanks as I currently own. It could be worse, I suppose. :wink:

    Oh, yeah bra shopping only happens online for me. Try finding a bra with a band size of 30 in a cup size befitting a matronly bosom on a Walmart budget, lol! I live in sports bras (the Hanes 3-pack el-cheapos) during summer break. :sad:

    And...my feet shrunk, for real! I have a whole shoe wardrobe of wide widths that are too roomy now. Didn't see that coming. Really, even my feet lost weight?

    I get offered rides frequently when I do my daily walks... you know because it is so hot in Phoenix... This didn't happen when I was 100 lbs heavier last summer when I started walking

    and the constant freezing in air conditioning as I have no more insulation (which is why the 90 degree walks don;t bother me)

    It's 90 degrees outside and I am in the house watching TV in flannel pj's and under a blanket

    LOL! I totally get this… both sides of it. There is part of me that just wants to be normal. I get a little self-conscious with the comments about weight loss or how dedicated I am (usually when I'm seen walking in the heat of the afternoon). But at the same time… I LOVE the comments!

    The clothes thing is totally an issue. Everything is too big… Even when I buy new things that fit… they only fit for a short period of time. Any money saved from eating less is now going toward clothing!

    My watch spins around on my wrist like nobody's business. I can fit a finger between my wrist and my watch band.

    Oh, yeah… and I get cold a lot easier now. And I still have lots of weight to lose. This winter is gonna SUCK!

    Today, for the first time ever, I wasn't able to find my size because I'm too small!! The store didn't carry anything lower than a 6.

    I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. I didn't realize it would be just as frustrating as not being able to find a big enough size.

    Now that I've typed this out, I'm feeling peeved all over again! :huh:

    Fold and Stitch off an inch of it? I've had to become an alterations pro, though I just have a needle and thread. And I've done this a couple times, but sometimes ya just gotta let the loose clothes go:

    I can't find a child-sized running holder for my iPhone but my arms are too skinny for the adult ones.

    Agree with too little room in the fridge for fruits/vegetables
    Also that the gyms only allow you two hours for the kids club...seriously not enough time to work out

    I can't find pants that fit properly. Always too big in the waist and too tight in the booty. I joke that I'm a size 4 with a size 8 butt!!

    THIS.

    I haven't had to resort to underoos, but I was a bit freaked out when I tried on some pants and realized I was now in boy sizes. On that note, I hate it when people buy clothes for me because it's always WAY too big.

    Of course, it also means I get to pay a lot less for pants.

    I'm a 4 on top and 10 on bottom! Gah! Better than the other way around.

    Anyways, my size 6 dresses just fall off me now. The 4's are pretty roomy :)

    My work out shorts fall off my butt when I'm doing jumping jacks. I would definitely say that's a skinny/thin people problem. I am afraid to pick up jogging until I find a pair that fits.

    My closet is full of clothes, in various sizes, most of them too big. Yeah, skinny people problem.

    How about the fact that when you're bloated, everyone can tell. Egads. Skinny/fit person problem.

    Shoot! I'd say y'all are lucky! I'm one size (smallest size) based on bust measurements, another size (largest size) based on waist measurements. And yet another size based on hips measurements. Finding clothes that fit and are flattering is nigh unto impossible these days. My only hope is that things will even out a little more as I lose more weight!
