Fun thread. You know you lost weight when

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

When your no longer the fattest person in the room?

When Men want to sit next to you on the train.

When you buy clothes that look fabulous on you and not clothes that "will do"

Someone calls you slim.....

When everybody says u r too skinny!! Smh.

When people you haven't seen in a while don't recognize you!

When you don't ask if you look fat in a bathing suit!! =) better yet when you meet up with family after 6 months of not seeing them and they don't even recognize you!!!!!!!!!!! =)

When your children hug you and they can wrap their arms ALL THE WAY AROUND your waist. My 9 year old's hands overlapped this weekend and for first time and he said, "Mom! I'm so proud of you!" I melted...

When you get mad at your kids and put your hand on your hip and for the first time actually feel a hip bone. I was so thrilled I forgot what I was mad at my kids for:)

Your husband gives you a hug and says "huh, that's new..." he was able to wrap his arms around me and over lap his arms. He even did a retake on the hug to verify!

When you put on a few pounds and that's okay – because it puts you closer to your goal weight.

When you're able to maintain your weight after losing your weight.

That's a bloody first!

Woo HOO! You go, Bariatric Hero! That is so fantastic!!!

When you are able to get down onto the floor to play with a child, and get back up without having to use furniture to help support and boost you up.

Ditto what Rogofulm said

" when gaining a couple of lbs is ok because it gets you closer to goal weight"

An amazing feeling!
