    I will know I am thin when I don't have to wear "control top" panties in order to look good in a dress.

    Fantastic topic Angelika :flowerforyou:

    I'll know I'm thin when someone says "you don't need to watch your weight"

    It happened to my mum once :smile:

    I will know I am thin when I can run in shorts and not see my inner-thigh fat wobbling. :(

    I will know I'm thin when I can jump up and down and only my boobs wobble. Also when people are jealous of me

    I can wear anything and not feel self conscious or uncomfortable at all

    This!

    But also when I don't ruin every photo that I'm in and can actually look at a picture of me and think 'I look nice!' :smile:

    I will know I am thin when I am sitting on the sofa and my belly doesn't rest on my laptop. :embarassed:

    I will know I am thin when I stop looking like I am a few month pregnant and when my jeans fit both my bum and my waist.

    I can fit into my (UK) size 10 jeans again

    I no longer tuck my wobbly belly into 'big' knickers

    I can see daylight between my thighs

    I can snack on a cake without weighing it first to calculate the calories or feeling guilty after

    I can borrow my sisters clothes

    I can run without everything bouncing and wobbling

    *****I will know I am FIT when...*****
    I can walk around naked and have no shame about it! I already walk around naked a lot, but I'd like to get rid of the shame part :P

    This. I know I am thin now but I would like to look good in a bikini too!

    that midriff bulge has gone. Forever. However, I've always had that - even when I was thin. Maybe with lots of the right exercise.... maybe one day!
    These are great!!!!

    I can look at a photograph that someone has taken of me and posted on Facebook, and then think to myself, "Hmmm, I look nice there!"

    I can look at a photograph that someone has taken of me and posted on Facebook, and then read the complimentary comments on how nice I look.

    When my bellybutton looks vertical, not horizontal!

    Hahaha I love this! I recently went on holiday with my family and some friends and my little sisters friend said "why do you and your sister have really long sideways belly buttons?" and I replied "Cause we're fat!" lol

    This^^^ Whenever I'm going somewhere I know I have to sit I look in the mirror while sitting to see if you can see any rolls and if you can then I'll put on a looser top.

    I don't think its physically possible to ever have thighs that are the circumference of two hands wrapped (you must be pretty tiny skinnylove) but I when know when I am thin when I no longer have this muffin top!

    Yes it is. I don't have skinny thighs and my hands are pretty small and there is only about an inch between my fingers when I wrap them around my leg.

    I will know I am thin when able to wear running shorts to actually run in.

    I was thinking the same thing. I *am* thin, and there's a good five inch gap at the top of my thighs. They reach right above the knees. My hands fit comfortably around my calves.

    I didn't realize how thin I was until I saw full length pictures of myself. The mirror doesn't tell the whole story. Of course, that goes both ways, because I didn't realize I was getting chunky until I saw full length photos.

    This is so true for me, I'll know I'm thin when I'm not the fattest amoung my friends and then when I look better than all of them, I'm tired of being the biggest person in my group of friends I want to be the smallest.

    Same here. I think it is possible, you just have to be very skinny ^o^ I live in Japan and what we consider skinny in America is what is considered chubby or even overweight here~

    When I actually go to the beach and take my shirt off around people. Of course then someone may think that I left my sweater on or there is a Bear on the beach, but you know....

    This made me crack up.

    I'll know I am skinny when I can go to any store I want to, and have everything fit well, and look good!
