When you have to make holes in your belt for it to fit

I love those kinds of dresses! I can't wait to get that tiny!

I do agility training and competitions with my dogs and the other night I was at a seminar designed to help the humans with their balance, footwork etc. I wasn't sure what we would be doing or how cold the facility would be, so I wore jeans instead of workout clothes.

OMG -- I bought those pants about a month ago!

When you chuck the airline seat belt expander in the trash

When you go to Disney for a long weekend and you can keep up with everyone and feel great at the end of the long days. Have lots of room on the rides and come home to find you have lost another pound!! I love love my decision to have weight loss surgery!!
