People gravitate to you because of your good looks rather than actual gravity due to your mass. :)

1. You can wrap the bath towel around you and it covers all of you !

2. You are comfortable crossing legs.

3. Your clothes are all baggy on you !

4. I can fit my hand around my wrist.

5. You look at yourself in the full body mirror and feel good.

6. You start taking pictures of your whole self and not just your upper body.

Men follow you around in the supermarket.

You buy a belt and your best friend shows you that your waist is the same size as her thigh.

People call you a "living doll"

Everyone keeps telling your the wind is going to blow you away

You have hip bones, collar bones...

Your butt get sore sitting down because there is no padding.

The girl at banana republic insists on getting you a size 0 so it fits right.

You can fit in the clothes in the little girls section.

You can easily touch your ankle to your butt.

You can sit in the back between your kids car seats.

The blood pressure cuff at the doctors office won't fit because it's too big.

Hahahaha. Yeah. Never thought I'd be this tiny but I do love it!!

Lol I had lost a significant amount of weight in my early thirties (which I of course gained back) and I realized the lower poles in the closet were not too low. It's just that my shirts were so huge they had been touching the ground. Once I was wearing normal sizes the poles were suddenly, magically an appropriate height!

I was at the gym the other day talking to some girls when I said I still had 30 plus pounds to lose and one of them turned to me and said where? :)

Wow, these are all so motivating. I've lost some weight, but I am preop. I just started the Classes last week. Hoping to get my surgery in January 2016. I can't wait to be post op and goal weight.

When you can fit all the "new" shoes in your closet that couldn't fit your fat feet before. I did not expect my feet to get smaller and it is a wonderful surprise :)

I had never thought of this until it happened to me...my eye glasses are too big! After losing 124 pounds in 8 months, my glasses did not fit. I was able to get them adjusted but the doctors office told me they were no longer the right size!

Not fitting in an airplane seat prompted my research into bariatric surgery. When I fit without an extender, it was a SWEET VICTORY!!!!

My favorite pair of prescription sunglasses no longer fit and it is soo frustrating. I wear them with hats and scarfs so I can anchor them on my face lol

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
