Unexpected results of weight loss

Awesome responses..these are such good reads. .n funny too... but overall great inspiration.

I get drunk quickly, and my d**k thinks I'm 15 again as well as it looking bigger.

I no longer unbutton my jeans when I am driving. Only lost 18 lbs so far. Still about a 120 lbs to go. But that little victory makes me very, very happy! ☺️

This awesome. I've only lost about 10lbs of my 70-90 goal but ive noticed my work uniform isnt as tight as it was getting. Small victories are very motivating! Congrats!

I'm on board with the clothes thing, it's funny how sickly i look wearing my old oversized clothes. The most unexpected is how it's helped me emotionally, spiritually and mentally

I've got several shirts with my company logo. Not uniforms, really, and I don't HAVE TO wear them at work, but I do wear one about half the time - they're nice shirts. A few days ago, my boss handed me a box. He said he's noticed that one of my company shirts was starting to get frayed a bit (he's right - it's a couple years old), so he ordered me three new ones. That was nice! But he ordered the same size that had been ordered three years, 60 pounds, and at least 2 sizes ago. What could I do? I politely accepted, and have been wearing them, although they are really big. Eventually, I'm going to have to ask for some that fit.

The funny thing is that he has commented on my weight loss, and I've talked to him about it a lot. Still, I suppose it may have been awkward for him to ask me my new size, and assuming too big is always better than assuming too small (something living my life as a fat person has taught me!)

Great post and amazing community.

that my newly developed forearm muscles can be quite distracting when driving

My cheek bones look amazing and one that scared me was I can feel my heart beat in my stomach. I thought something was wrong but my doctor laughed and said it was normal in smaller people.

THATS WHAT THAT IS? I lay on my back down and I can see my hip bones and I can see my heart beat in my stomach. I was going to ask my doctor. I'm still pretty big but smaller than before!!

"Before" I had to make a conscious decision to breath OR tie my shoes. Now I can do both safely without the risk of blacking out!

Amen on this! I have been doing my own pedicures for the first time in AGES. It's saving me a bundle - which I plan to use on new sandals and summer clothes. Being able to reach your feet is awesome!

I'm just shy of 40 pounds down (out of a probable 95 or 100).
All of a sudden, people biking by are greeting me when I take my dog on the walking path.

It took my a few days to read trough all of that but this thread is everything! So inspiring to keep going!

It's enough weight loss now that people ALWAYS notice. People want to know what I've done to lose weight... Nope, no magic pills. MyFitnessPal.com and a food scale.

No idea what my right bra size is...

I don't try clothes on, I normally buy them and take them home. That doesn't work anymore... I needed MEDIUM shorts? Good lord, that MUST be wrong... That was a fun return. So now I use the changing rooms.

I get cold faster.

I pretty much like how I look in the mirror now. I am not at my goal yet, but I can DO THIS. I walk by that mirror with a thumbs up!

So many of these are familiar to me.
The one that is sticking out in my brain is that the pockets in size 14 pants are way smaller than those in size 24 pants. I used to be able to carry my whole purse in my pockets... now my phone hardly fits!

I was just thinking about this today.....my friend was making fun of me because i can fit my giant smartphone in my pocket right now.....i was like "man....in like 1 pant size i wont bea le to anymore! What am i gonna do?" Now i understand why all these skinny girls have them hanging outof their back pockets......I cant wait for that day!!!!!
