    That I would go into a "normal" store, take the biggest size (as I always do) and it would be too big :o:o:o Said store never ever had anything that fitted me before. I stood in the changing room gobsmacked.

    Realizing how terribly uncomfortable I was before. Never realized....

    How much better the funky monkey is...ooooooh wow.

    The profoundly stupid remarks/excuses an overweight friend has used to explain her weight. She keeps asking me to go out to eat.... hahaha prior to going I have checked the menu & nutritional info and know what works for me. Recently, she ate a large appetizer, a large meal and dessert while explaining to me how she "usually" eats healthy organic foods. Seriously in all the years I have known her - I have NEVER seen anything resembling nature or organic food in her house or on her plate. I love her - but sometimes I just want to throttle her.

    I just started back on my journey, but I forgot how bad the heart burn gets when you are drinking all that water.

    Thank you ladies. This is wonderful. Your post are very encouraging. I've lost a little too and noticed all the things you've mentioned. It's good to know you're not "weird". Other people have similar experiences, feelings, and emotions.

    That sleeping was going to be a problem! We have an old mattress and it's lumpy as it is. Now I have hip bones and stuff starting to show it's hard to get comfortable enough for a good night sleep. I have to squirm about a bit until I can get that sweet spot where I don't feel anything digging in to me. Also I don't know what to do with my legs as they are leaner now and feel every lump! I tried the suggestion of using an extra pillow that I can rest my leg on and that helps to a certain extent.

    I just noticed the mattress thing this past weekend. It feels so lumpy and uncomfortable now! I might try an extra pillow for my legs, thanks for the tip!

    I ended up buying one of these from Ikea so I could sleep

    That looks like it might be the answer. I might have to invest in one or something like it. Also I don't know what to do with my left leg anymore. I sleep on my right side and I guess my legs used to be more fleshy. Now they're leaner and more muscled and feel weird when pressed together at night. I was skinny as a teenager. I don't remember how I slept then. I guess I was just used to it.

    I'm not exactly springing around like a gymnast but when things roll under the table it's not a broadway production to get them back.

    :D:D:D Funniest thing I've read all day. I'm glad!
