I Knew I Was Thin When....

Save for looking at the scale, when do you begin to notice you were no longer overweight/obese?

I can't wait to not be "overweight"... Hope I get there one day!!! :)

I am still not there yet so I don't know..i was told yesterday by my trainer that I see with a big head which means I see myself a lot bigger then I am...someday I hope that changes for me!

I hope to find out......someday.

No more man hands and now collar bones showing up. Forgot I had some. Strangers are nicer and actually give eye contact in public and don't ignore your existence. Just a few for me. I just moved to the overweight category and out of the obese one. It sure feels nice.

I have noticed I am treated WAY different in public. Sales people are nicer, I can go into any store and not get the "why are you in this store, you must be shopping for a gift" look...

Thighs not rubbing together... or even touching for that matter. My jeans no longer start to wear in the thighs first.

When I bought a size EIGHT jeans from American Eagle (my moment!)

when my husband holds me... I feel small in his arms now.

When my six year old hugs me and lights up and says "mommy I can hug you all the way now!" meaning her hands can reach all the way around me..

I still have a bit to loose, I am considered "normal" for the BMI range now, but I'd like to get into the 130's. I was 148 last time I weighed earlier this week so not too far to loose for my "end goal"!
