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

      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!!
