one potato chip counts as a binge.

you worry that after you lose all the weight you find out that you really didn't have a such a pretty face after all!!

...you don't want to buy expensive (or even moderately expensive) clothes because you KNOW you won't be wearing them for long...unless you're at goal, and then you can buy anything you want!:w00t:

Good one!!!! ROFL :blushing::w00t:

In the same vein . . . when you lose all your excess weight and find out that losing some padding around your face makes your wrinkles grow, expand and come alive, lol.

This is soooo true. But just wait until you reach goal. :0)

I reached goal last Summer, spent some money and bought some awesome clothes which still fit like a dream a year later. I even noticed my size 8's are a little baggy now, lol. It is amazing to reach your "too good to be true goal" and maintain long term. I can't wait until the rest of you join me :0)

When you get stuck and PB from a piece of meat that you just toothpicked out of your teeth and swallowed. This actually happened to me today.

That made me laugh so hard I nearly pee'd on myself! Thanks I really needed a good laugh!!!!!:w00t:

When your chewable vitamins are your sweet treat for the day! LOL

...you become your local consignment shop's best customer because you've lost so much weight you bring them all your old clothes, and you keep losing at such a steady rate that you're continually bringing them your new, barely-worn clothes that you bought during your transition!

Oh, and let's not forget that you're in there SHOPPING for new clothes every few weeks because you HATE to pay retail for clothes you're only gonna wear for a month or two!:wink:

You know you're a bandster when even your head feels bony.

TMI alert here....

When you decide to skip dinner just so you can play with the whipped cream and sf chocolate syrup in the bedroom.... :tongue2:

When you waive to a friend across the street and your watch and wedding ring fly into traffic (both were recovered unharmed).

Having both your keys and your wallet in your short pockets causes you to moon an entire parking lot..... go ahead look .... you know you what too

When you run to catch the bus, actually catch it and not have the driver ask if he needs to call a paramedic.

When your spouse asks you to order something different because they don't like what you ordered and know they'll be having it for lunch the next day.

When you can tie your shoes with them on your feet.

You know you're a bandster when....

...you consume a case of Water in a few days rather then a case of soda

...you are so use to eating so fast that you are done with ur entire meal before anyone else even gets started, but now you are still on your soap while they are finishing their entree

...you are drinking water at the bar and acting as if it's a gin and tonic so no one knows you aren't drinking alcohol

...everyday people ask, "so how much is it now?"((as in how much weight have you lost))

when you can't stop touching your collar-bone. Where did that thing come from????

Hi Everyone! :seeya:

I love these...especially the case of water instead of soda...

OMG - isn't it great?

Here's a few more:

...when you no longer worry about having enough room in theatre or movie seats because you no longer fill them up from side to side!

...when you can buy less expensive shoes because you no longer wear a WIDE size!

...when you can shop from the sale racks because you no longer need the large sizes that always sell out first, because the store only stocks 2 or 3 of them...

...when you no longer have to think twice about buying a smaller, fuel-efficient car, because you FIT into the drivers seat without the parking brake digging into your side or your butt!

...when friends who haven't seen you for a while ask "Where's the rest of you?"

...when you anxiously await the "buy one, get one half-off" sale at GNC so you can stock up on Isopure Protein drinks!

Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon, everyone!
