What nobody tells you about losing weight

Probably people do talk about this, but I need to say it anyway:
Your rings will fall off if you aren't very careful. I almost lost my wedding ring the other day, and now I won't wear my rings until after I get a chance to get them resized, when the stores finally reopen here.
Be careful with your rings, people!
I lost my wedding band at work 3 years ago.10 -
That you'll get picky about your food.
There was a call for money for a pizza run, and when I heard where, I thought, "I'm not going to. That's junk pizza. If I eat pizza, I want it to be GOOD pizza, and worth the calories."
There was a time when I would have eaten it because it was pizza, and it was there.34 -
The distance between a size 18 and a size 16 is seemingly massive! The distance between 14 and 12 is really short!28

Yes! 100%! I have to say, the distance between a 12 and 10 felt infinite for me.11 -
How many wrinkles appear on your face. This is quite frustrating as otherwise I am looking and feeling great.
How much energy you have when eating healthy.16 -

I am still wearing the same knickers from when I was obese, held up by my outer clothes, and I am doubling up on my bras to hold my bits in place, but to be fair they were too small so a squeeze when I started dieting. So if I ever have that proverbial accident, the medics are going wonder what the hell is going on.
I live on a fixed income so have to be careful with money but more so, I just cannot bear the thought of settling on a size until I have shrunk a bit more.16 -

I had to buy a smaller ring to keep my wedding ring on my finger. (Our wedding rings are engraved so I don't want to have it made smaller.)10 -
When you are grieving and logging calories to make sure you are eating enough. They dismiss what you say only to accuse you of doing it on purpose.20

no one told me it will be so hard, it's a struggle!22

I'm sure this has been before but suddenly everyone around you becomes an expert in weight loss.32

How much you might need to re-evaluate why you are trying to lose (what is the motivation) or at least the mini goals might change.

I'm autistic; I've never grieved "right" to allistic standards. To heck with standards, who needs them at a time like this?12 -
You will have SOOOOO MUCH ENERGY.
Because of this, you'll find yourself going to bed late. It presents a PERFECT opportunity to cheat & binge eat late at night. So either find a suitable distraction, or force yourself to go to bed.21 -
after losing more than half of my belly, I find coughing very uncomfortable. Feels like my insides are gonna burst out from the back.9

Hello fellow autie! Send me a friend request if you feel like it!
Also? Can confirm. Allistic standards really don’t mean much to us.4 -
For us women who are losing a significant amount of weight, going from “invisible” in public settings to “visible” can be uncomfortable and might need some serious introspection to work out why.30

How much better my butt fits in my shower chair (I'm paralyzed from the shoulders down).35

I have had this for a long time too - Then I got arthritis (not bad) and my knuckle in my finger is big enough to keep it there
So totally true! With downsizing me, the sexual innuendo at work has been upsizing and with it being uncomfortable. Thankfully these days I am working for a company where that type of behaviour is not tolerated (not just in some goody two shoes proclamation, but seriously lived)MargaretYakoda wrote: »For us women who are losing a significant amount of weight, going from “invisible” in public settings to “visible” can be uncomfortable and might need some serious introspection to work out why.12 -
I went for a swim the other day after years. Used to swim all the time when I was a kid as we had a big pool at home. I just...sink now. Like I just crossed my legs and literally just sank to the bottom of the pool.14
