    Everything... the only clothes I could fit in was my maternity clothes although I was already 6 months postpartum.

    Wow, so many. My briefs were cutting into my sides, my belt was gouging my gut, my 4X shirts were too snug, etc etc.

    'Twas not clothing, perse that caused me to decide to start getting healthier (although, I was adamant to not get to the point to where I had to wear size 50 pants... (I was rather snug in loose fit 48s at the time.)... Rather it was health concerns that sort of got me to reconsidering what I was doing to myself... Incidentally, now, I am between a 32" and 34" loose fit now.

    In the beginning it was something I almost didn't notice because I wear the first thing I find. I started discarding pants to the bottom of the closet because they wouldn't zip, until one day I decided to check how many I "grew out off" (I was 16-17, I thought it was just normal to be outgrowing some clothes) and realized that I could only wear three of them. Then, well, I never minded the scale that much, but I faced it and found I was wighting 63.5kg (140lbs) being 5'6"-7" (not that much, but it all went to my belly). Then I started dieting with mom, lost that weight (to 120 pounds) and now I can wear stuff I wasn't wearing since I was like 13 (not exaggerating), and since most of those clothes are jeans, they're ok to wear at 19. I came here after losing my weight, just to keep my calorie intake on the line.
    140lbs is still well within the healthy weight range for your height. I am the same height as you and my goal is 135lbs right now I am 155lbs. I know I look healthy and trim but comments like this upset me a bit to think that some think this size is fat or overweight. I can't imagine someone looking at me right now thinking I look overweight.

    I decided when I was a size 22 in pants that I didn't want to be heavy anymore. I lost 80 pounds, but put half back on. Now my motivation is my wedding dress that I was sized for when I was at my smallest... and a size 10 dress that my sister gave me. When I was at my smallest, I just about fit in it, I just couldn't breathe too well. I want to see if I can fit into it if I lose a little more than what I was. If I just can't, then I'll donate it.

    Don't worry about it. Some people are very small framed with very slender and non-muscular arms and legs. and no boobs/butt.. so ANY weight they have is in the form of stomach fat.... so for THEM losing a bit more weight to be on the low end of healthy weight *might* make sense.. That's why "healthy weight" is a RANGE of weights and not just one magical number.

    When seeing in a mirror that my elastic-waist pants had the same profile for my "front side" (aka stomach) as for my "back side" (aka butt), well I knew right then that wearing a baggy top was not going to do an adequate cover-up anymore. How can a stomach stick put as far as a behind?? If pregnant, that is OK. But otherwise, it is pathetic and time for a change!!
