so what does thin feel like?

I understand but don't like the specific quote very much so I changed it to "Nothing tastes as good as being HEALTHY feels"
I don't think anyone should have the goal of being "thin" -- but instead should have the goal of being healthy... but to each their own.
For me, being HEALTHY (which yes includes being a hell of a lot "thinner" than I used to be) means that I am free to focus on OTHER things in life that make me happy, besides food. I am free to move, run, dance - whatever I want without ANY limits. I am free to smile, talk, and laugh without feeling like I am being judged for being "fat"
Being healthy feels like I've been given a FRESH start, a clean slate

bump!

I like substituting "thin" for "healthy" too! I've been at both, and let me tell you, being emaciated and gross was not a good feeling. I think it was actually worse than being plump. Healthy and lean was definitely the best feeling ever.

Like other people said, in control, unstoppable and basically like a constant high. Whoo we'll get there!

confident and sexy (from what I can remember...lol)

Being healthier (and thinner) for me has meant power in all the ways that power can be understood:

Physical power -from all the workouts I've become stronger and faster, and I feel more energetic.
Emotional power -I'm more cheerful, happier, generally in a good mood, and totally psyched about the mirror and new wardrobe possibilities!
Intellectual and creative power --I am more knowledgeable about food (and exercise, but less so since I've always been pretty active) now after learning about food, more knowledgeable about my body, and I've become a more creative cook and more creative in my variety of workouts.
Social power --my more positive attitude affects my social presence positively, and who can deny that thinner people (especially women) generally have more social power? It's a sad but true fact of our society.

I think that my success, however modest, has also directly and indirectly inspired others to make changes. It's important to use this power to help everyone achieve the best self he/she can.

But there is a little bit of a scary side to what thin feels like, a kind of grim reaper hovering over my scale (no, not like how an anorexic would feel!): what came off within 2.5 months can go right back on if these are not legitimately lifestyle changes. It feels a little like being on the edge and wondering how long that feeling will continue before these lifestyle changes really take firm root and the edge recedes.

I don't think it's so much the thin that is great, but rather becoming healthy. I was already "thin" by most people's views, but felt unhealthy. Now that I am closer to my goal, I feel better. I have more energy. Even when I am exhausted I still feel like I have enough energy to run around the block a few times. I also have stopped some asthma meds that I no longer need because my lungs have become more healthy. So don't associate that great feeling with being someone's standard of thin, associate it with your body feeling healthy.

I'm not quite there yet, but I bet it feels SEXY!!!

For me, this one is really motivating, although I don't necessarily take it literally...

I think maybe a more accurate one for me is "Don't give up what you want most for what you want right now"... source anyone??

I'm still going to eat those delicious things, and savor them, and find them JUST as delicious.... but in moderation. Just because when I walk past the cupcake store I REALLY want a cupcake, I can't let that short-term craving get in the way of my long-term goal, which is to lose weight and get healthy!

:happy: its such a good feeling. clothes that fit, compliments, confidence, your life back.

Well having lost my excess baby weight,i feel so much fitter and healther. Im more into toning now and getting some muscles. My fitness level is a lot higher and my asthma is under control. Plus a lot of healthy stuff is fab, you just have to experiment with food. Nothing is off limits if u account for it :-)

And thin feels... pokey. No more padding to rest yourself on.

Hilarious! truth is always good.

Well Im not there yet, but I have been in the past and it does feel good to be thin but I also enjoy comfort foods from time to time. I wish we could all have both

I've heard that saying "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". For those of you who have reached (or almost reached) your goal, what does it feel like to be thin? Is the saying true?

Reese's Oreos taste far superior to how thin feels.
