when you are planning to go semi-topless at the nude beach you've been going to for three years.

Okay, I'll bite... What the heck is semi-topless? Only one side is exposed?

... When by the time you get your new pants back from the tailor after being hemmed, they are already too loose around the waist.

Noooooooooo!!! NEVER Abercrombie & Fitch!!! Don't wear/buy it. Everrrrr!!!

I agree! Because fat people aren't pretty enough to wear their clothes. Once I lose my weight, I still won't go there!

..your port is obviously visible because your tummy isn't huge and hiding it anymore. I find myself touching it all the time almost like it's a talisman that I rub it for luck. It didn't even become noticeable till I lost nearly 70 lbs. and now it sticks out like the alien in the movie. No one sees it but me at the moment but I've started to date so we'll see how that goes...lol.

Love these! So I'll go again....got my sassy short haircut, yippee! And now, you know you've had WLS when you take those teeny tiny jars of preserves from hotel breakfasts so you can fill them with chopped almonds and walnuts to keep in your purse. You're obsessed with Protein. You're happy with yourself. Oh, this is from today.......you wake up at 2am and just get up to get work done (freelancer) and you work 16 hours to get totally, incredibly on top of everything. Like month of. September is set and we are not even ther yet! Where is this energy coming from? It is incredible! I don't have to work the rest of the week! Guess I'll exercise. You know you've had WLS when your found time is about moving your body........

So I LOVED your post about the sassy new haircut, as i've been plotting the same thing for myself this month - would really love to see a picture of the new do, Bandista!

When you end up throwing food that's gone bad away because you bought too much food!

[Rogofulm 2,440]

When that 20-ounce porterhouse steak you used to order is now an 8-ounce filet.... and you take half of it home for tomorrow's lunch.< /p>

Okay, I'll bite... What the heck is semi-topless? Only one side is exposed?

Lmaooooo!! Not exactly, although many times my boobs would float to the side when a wave hit. LoL.

I went semi-topless in the sense that I had NO top on but I had a crochet dress which was kinda see through.

[HotButterFly 981]

Ok, it WAS see-through.

When every restaurant meal results in leftovers for the next meal

When my dog starts following me around as I will now bend over or get down on floor for a pet, rub belly season

When you can go into any store and wear anything you want.

When the sales clerk brings you a smaller size because she thinks what you picked (a medium) is a size too big!

When it's fun to travel because you don't have to worry about fitting into small airline seats.

When you don't even order off the menu, but eat from your family's plate

When you can go incognito in the town you have lived in your entire life because people just don't recognize you.

[pik 262]

When you try on rings at the jewelry store and they slip right on!

[playlikeworldchamps 595]

I got another one yesterday!

You know you've had WLS when you are buying an extra school band shirt and they say sorry the smallest size is a Large. I thought they knew I was buying for my daughter who is a S but they thought I was buying for myself as a supportive band parent!

[jacileggs 402]

You used to have a hard time finding nice clothes that were big enough and now you have plenty of selection because you can shop anywhere. Yahoo!

[MRhynard11 41]

You actually want to send out one of those cutesy Christmas postcards where everyone's wearing red sweaters with big smiles...
