* My boobs are now bigger than my belly

* I have more clothes to donate than I have to wear

* On that note, All of your extra money goes to clothes!

* You spend twice as long in the dressing room because you constantly have to swap out clothes for a smaller size...your brain just can't comprehend that you are actually "that size"

* FINALLY wearing normal size boots rather than "Wide Calf"!!

(Can anyone tell I went shopping yesterday? New boots, Size 6 Jeans [please tell me Kohl's jeans run large...I still can't comprehend this one!], new bras and a HUGE pile of clothes to donate!)

When you realize you do not have to buy clothes in the "plus size" stores :) Officially a size 14! Woop Woop!

When you're hungry and eat more food than you originally planned - but now that means an extra 40-5- calories, not 1500!

(And you still lose weight :blink: )

When you can do a lunge with hand weights, and not fall over.

When the gym becomes fun in that "hurts so good" sort of way, instead of a drag you dread.

When you stand on a little step ladder without first wondering if it will hold your weight.

Men practically fall over themselves trying to help you with ANYTHING at the office, home depot, grocery store, you name it! Not used to the stares, smiles, and flirting. It used to make me self conscious and I would think people stared because I was chubby. Now, if a cute guy is staring at me, it takes me a second but I realize oh, he thinks I'm pretty!

The leg crossing is true, I never crossed my legs when I was heave, now I do it all the time even when bench rest shooting. Amazing

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
