Booking a flight and not worrying about fitting in the seat.30
-
Last weekend my husband and I went to the fair and rode all the rides!
I have always loved fair rides, and thirty years ago I was dating a guy who got sick on rides, so I asked a friend of a friend to take me to the fair, and we had a great time together. Well, I dumped the motion sick guy, and started dating the friend I had fun with. Fast forward and we've been married twenty-five years now.
The last time we went to the fair together was about five years ago, and I was too heavy to fit in most rides, had heart issues which made me afraid to try them anyway, and had trouble even walking the distances and standing in line. It was depressing and sad not to be able to do what I wanted. Now, my weight and size are not issues on rides, my heart is great, and I can run all over the midway for hours without even noticing I'm on my feet. In fact I walked all over the fair after running that morning! Carnies flirt with me. And I am confident in my food choices - I had chicken and polish sausage on a stick with a couples of bites of my husband's giant funnel cake, and came in well under my calories for the day.
My favorite ride (not my video):

I did not eat my feelings when someone called me a fat @$$ when I was walking to my car. I journaled my feelings, played my piano, looked at my trending downward weight and cried a little bit and moved on. Success! Although not going to lie, I hate people a little more now, present company excluded.80

I successfully reintroduced peanut butter into my diet! As long as the ingredients are just peanuts, I won't get sick. Yay! Now I just need to work on moderation
Also met my new GI doctor for the first time, and for once I have someone not concerned about my weight. He also said it seems like my Crohn's is stable, so now all I need to do is focus on reducing the inflammation. Not an easy task at all, but at least all the other noise is taken care of. Maintenance is great!29 -
I no longer feel like the elephant in the room!33

A family of 3 (parents in their 60s, daughter in her 40s) sees me at work for the 1st time in a year. They can't stop saying how good I look (since losing weight), how amazing, unbelievable, handsome etc. It was a bit embarrassing, but totally *kitten* awesome too!27

After a week of doing really good, I notice I fit into my chef coat better. Normaly I feel like a stuffed sausage bursting at the seams. That made for a good motivator!27

People can be such *kitten* at times! You do you, and you're doing great! Also, congratulations on not eating your feelings! That's a huge step13 -
Sort of a scale thing cos the big atlas stone weighs in at 65kg...I lifted and put a 65kg atlas stone over the yoke after lifting it four times (3 failed attempts at getting it over)...or 143lbs if you measure in pounds...I am soooo stoked. 75kg stone here I come...looks like tacky is on the to buy list....oh and the 70kg bench press went up no problems, twice....strength on the rise even though I am in quite a steep deficit...16

A customer was talking to me about cake today & I said that salted caramel was my favourite.
She responded "Well, you don't look as if you eat much of it!"
Knock me over with a feather!
Folk who aren't aware of your large weight loss can be the most surprising. In a few weeks I'll be moving 300 miles away & noone at all will know how I looked for the majority of my life!
Think it will be almost be a relief not to be talking about weightloss so frequently(still 20lbs to go at the very least!), but also very odd if more comments like the above are made haha!
I genuinely didn't know how to react so I just laughed & said "Ahh, I have plenty - can't resist it!" but in my mind I'm flashbacking to when I used to have huge slices practically daily...
I'd love to know what some of you think/feel/say with similar comments?28 -
I got checked out by multiple people on my walk to work from the train station this morning. Nothing like this has happened in close to 6 months!19

My Mom said I look like I'm at my high school weight. I'm actually 20lbs away from that if memory serves me, but still made me smile. Closest to high school weight I've been since undergrad which was...8 years ago.25

I have now influenced the 2nd person I know to get a fit bit of their own, lol. Soon I will have an army of fitbit users. Soon.20

My VO2 MAX has improved from poor, to fair, to good in the last several months.20

@Vonny198334 I get comments like that at work now. Just about everyone that knew I was heavy have left the company. So now, people make observations thinking I've never been obese, and it's strange. At first, I corrected them, reminding myself in the process, that oh no I was very heavy. Now I do not. I am proud of the success I've had (still want a good 40lbs more) and do not want to necessarily own the me I was. Not for weight alone, at least. I show people now my before and after (or well the after-that-is-the-here-and-now; I am not done) and they are astounded.12

I was waiting outside my boys’ school, in shorts and a T-shirt, with my 8 yo’s Ninja Turtle backpack over one shoulder talking with my younger son and his friends. I turned to say hi to a friend I rarely see and she did a double take—she thought I was one of the 8th graders waiting for her parents!20
