What is your favorite part of weight loss?



Recommended Posts

Ever wonder what will be the best part that made you feel great about your weight loss?

For me, it felt great when I was able to tie my shoes without a struggle lol.

And recently when you actually can see your hip bones after every workout

What’s yours?

I love being able to buy clothes and feel good about how I look in them. Instead of always being disappointed!

1) the way I feel. No more inflammation in my joints, I feel comfortable in any thing I wear, I can tie my shoes without holding my breath..lol

2) the way I look, my confidence has come back, I make more eye contact during conversations and command respect.

3) my sex life...It been a while since I got my wife to climax in any other position other than her on top, but now I dont crush her as much I suppose and she gets multiple orgasms now from all different positions..Plus she seems more into me now..

4) the attention and flirting from the opposite sex (sometimes the same sex..lol) I must admit it feels good and its more noticeable to see these younger women flirting with me or looking at me in the gym or when Im out. I catch them sneaking peaks all the time now...Yeah boy!!! Feels nice to be noticed..

5) clothes shopping and dressing sharp, its so much more easy to find decent and stylish clothes in my size now..Not many modern brand names make a size 46 wiast and 2 xl shirt...Plus I look great in slim fit everything now!!

6) the fact that I have potentially increased my life span and reduced the probability of me getting ill in the near future.

I’m only 7 weeks post op so I haven’t fealt the full benefit of the weight loss yet. I did put up the tree with the family the other day and was amazed at how much easier it was to get up and down off the floor at my current 258lbs than it was at the330lbs that I started my journey at. I was up and down at least 8 times crawling under the tree for various reasons when all of the sudden it struck me that I wasn’t struggling or grunting and groaning every time I moved like I used to.

Being able to interact with my kids better and chase them down much easier.

Being able to purchase clothing anywhere and not having to pay an upcharge for a plus size.

People's reaction when I tell them how much weight I've loss :)

My perks from weight loss:

The girls look better. My boobs no longer rest on the shelf of my belly . I have visible collar bones.

I discovered I'm an adrenaline junkie. It gives me a high when younger people under estimate my running ability. I turn into a competitive bad ass when they step up to race me on the treadmill /the track at my gym. Game on!

I'm usually dressed down in jeans and fitness gear. At work appropriate for the situation. I love to dress a bit on the sexy side for date nights.

I went to a job interview yesterday and the place had tons of stairs. I climbed them all without being in pain or out of breath.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
