And on that theme...

When you're standing with your hand in your pocket and realise that your hand is in your back pocket!!!

You've lost so much weight that your pockets are now meeting up on your hips...

Perhaps it's time to but some new pants... :mellow:

When no one who hasn't seen you in the last year recognizes you.

Speaking of putting your hands in your pockets, you reach into your pockets more because your blouse/shirt is tucked in!!

@@loriemoms - yeah no kidding. Most of my shirts HAVE to be tucked in because they would be down to my knees if they were not. (Note to ladies...many big guys need X-Large shirts so their shoulders and arms fits, not their waist)

You go shopping and literally walked out of your own shoes due to them being to wide now!

When you're more comfortable with your pants buckled around your waist, than you were when they were buckled under your belly.

When you have to use a belt to keep your pants up and not your belly.

My boys 8 and 10 realised yesterday that mommy look different, it only took 20kg, I had a lower bmi before surgery so need to loose about 15kg more. My boys was so upset they cried, they don't understand why I want to be different. Although it was lovely I have to admit that it made me realise that kids love us for us, they don't see a size!

This is a BIG one for me. I bought regular calf sized boots (not wide) and did not die after wearing them to a party!

(Check out the leggings! Lol. I was proud of myself for wearing them outside :o)

I hadn't seen a friend in person ( we communicate via social media) in at least 8 years. And as she could not stop telling me how "tiny" I am. It made my night!

I wore leggings outside for the first time and wasn't stared at! Yaaaay!

Tried on dresses the other day, and couldn't find the size I needed in one of them. Asked the fitting room attendant if they had any, and she came back saying, "I'm sorry, miss, we don't have any smaller than a 6, but we may be able to order you a 4." Never thought I'd hear that!!!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
