Add your own !

- Some plus size clothes are a lot cuter than normal size clothes
- "Whoops, looks like I can't join you on this roller coaster on which I didn't want to go on in the first place" no longer works
- You can't use your stomach as a makeshift table when you're on your laptop sitting in the recliner
- Looking younger than you really are (which in my case is bad, because I'm 23 going on 17 in terms of looks as it is)

    Nope. No downsides for me yet. And I curious to know what store(s) you shop at where the plus sizes are cute, let alone cuter than the others.

    Loose skin for sure! Everything else about losing weight is great, but the loose skin is going to kill me!

    I'm going to throw away most of my closet.
    Related - buying new clothes - super fun if you are not a broke uni student.
    Related again - until I can afford new clothes, I have to walk around in my 'it's still kinda decent' fat clothes, which is not flattering.
    I can rarely finish my meal at a restaurant and I hate paying for something I didn't eat.
    At some point I started noticing development of feelings and thoughts similar to ED patterns - being obsessive about calories, guilt after eating and so on.
    Intolerance to some types of food you used to love.
    This is all I can remember at the moment but I'm sure there's more. Also, being healthy and looking good is worth it...mostly.

    Getting unwanted attention from men. Some are delighted by all the attention when they are looking super hot and I can't say it isn't an ego boost once and awhile but I felt a little uncomfortable in my own skin when I started to notice more stares etc. It's probably one subconscious reasons I self-sabotage when I hit a certain weight point.

    This morning I rolled out of bed to let the dogs out, opened the door and got a blast of 37 degrees wind. 60 pounds ago, I would have thought "hmm, breezy" and went out to enjoy the crisp morning. Now? Good thing my daughter was upstairs and couldn't hear what I was saying between shivers. Winter is going to suck....

    It's not really a con, but I have so much more confidence now, it's hard for me to narrow down choices when I go clothes shopping.

    Loose skin obviously and also it is not as comfortable sitting down especially on hard seats as it hurts my now bony *kitten*... wouldn't swap it back to what I was though.

    For me - none!
    Lose skin- well at least its lose!
    Spending money on clothes- at least its' a question of what do i look best in not what hides most of me best!

    Loose skin yes.

    Stretch mark explanations.

    The only "downside" (and I say that in quotes because I'm really thrilled that I've lost enought that this happens) I've had are my rings slipping off.
