Fun thread. You know you lost weight when

You have to get new shoes because they are to wide for the feet.

When you are at work late and it's dark outside and you see your reflection in the glass door and think someone is trying to get in. Happened to me last week!

When you take 22 bags of clothes that are too big to the resale shop and the lady asks you "Who's clothes were these?"

When all of the sudden you notice that you are sitting with your legs crossed!

When you can finally get pregnant after trying for 17 years and all it took was a major weight loss. My doc always said it was possible but it seems losing 20-30 lbs never did it but losing 100 lbs was the remedy!! Going on 11 weeks and super excited!!! What a great reason to gain weight...I just have to tell myself, I am not getting fat, I'm just pregnant!!

I did what it takes to get down 100 lbs and I wasn't even stopping so I know after the baby, Imma be on the road again....EASY as 123!!! GOOOOOOO VSG!!! LOL

P.s. I refuse to change my license or passport pics until it's a must...I love the double takes!!

Thank goodness I have a husband already because unfortunately a bad thing I've noticed since the weight loss is I get a lot of compliments on how I look from women which is great, yall ladies know it's hard to make another woman say "good job, you look great" but my issue is, MEN don't hit on me as much as they use to. I'm feeling a complex coming on...

As we all know appearance is the first impression and I always had a great great smile, nice round butt and 44 DDD breast and my build was thick but you can tell I was still athletic, curvy and I danced alot and now, I just feel so frail, no butt, no boobs and no stares anymore. Nothing really stands out, I feel like I blend into crowds and I'm use to being the standout....Hubby loves it but I feel like I've lost a major part of me...I was the Queen of Kings for a reason!! Men drooled over my body, then my personality. It's weird to have to work harder to accentuate my curves and let my personality shine thru in my clothing style...this is becoming a more fun and exciting journey, luckily I like a challenge!

@Rogofulm - YES! love it! This is exactly what i did at a black tie event over the weekend. So many people did not know be "before" and it was a great feeling that WE didnt have my "before" to compare to... they just accepted me as i am right now. I was able to stand straight with pride and not feel any judgement.

P.s. I refuse to change my license or passport pics until it's a must...I love the double takes!!

Great point, KeeWee! It's also an excellent motivator to look at your license and think, "No way in H-E-double-hockey-stix do I want to look/feel like that again!"

Going to the gym and actually LIKING it because it really and truly feels GOOD to exercise.

Love it!

The wrapping the bath towel all the way around me with no gap and some to spare is the best. It's a great reminder every morning.

Oh, and... uhm ... intimacy is sooo much better, too. (someone had to say it!!)

KeeWee I totally get it. Actually before I lost the weight I saw this coming like a freight train. I feel the same. I use to get tons of compliments etc prior to losing the weight, I was gorgeous and shapely. Big boobies (42 G) and nice rear. Definitely an hour glass. But now even though I still feel beautiful it's different now. I'm married as well and hubby is loving it but I do want to still feel like Im attractive to others. Lol

When your watch goes round and round your wrist. Time for a new watch.

I'm 20 lbs down (still 1 week pre-op) and yesterday I put on a sweat suit that fit me pretty well 2 weeks ago and my mother looks at me and laughs. She said I looked like I had on my uncle's sweatsuit.....my uncle is easily 350 or more!!

you know you had weight loss surgery when......

You are driving down the freeway. all the sudden panic strikes you. You start pat searching yourself because you forgot to fasten you're seat belt. Then you realize it is fastened and you can't feel it.

when I don't feel like I'm going to collapse from taking the stairs from the 5th floor down to the 1st floor and back up to the 5th floor...
