Cool things about losing weight.

[Jeudrietr]

What are some cool things you've noticed after losing weight? Be creative!

Some examples are:

- being able to see your feet
- being able to fit on a roller coaster

I could list more, but I don't want to take all of your ideas!

Thanks.

Well, two things:

- I don't have to squish my dh and dd so I can fit into the other side of the booth at Chili's anymore!

- I have the energy to chase my 10-year-old dd around the whole field out back and pelt her with snowballs!

I can sit down in jeans without feeling it's gonna burst at the seams.
A bra is much more comfy without it cutting into my flesh everywhere..

I can cross my legs and even tuck my foot round behind the other calf!!

When I visit a public loo I dont have to squeeze round the door but can just walk straight into the cubicle!

Oh - and if they have that disposal bin beside the toilet it doesnt dig into my thigh anymore!!

Be creative?

The most interesting observations I could only make on the men's forum.

I am able to wear cute clothes
No more acne
Thicker, healthier hair
Fast-growing, strong fingernails
Feeling energetic all the time
Able to leap small obstacles in a single *twink*
Shoes fit me better
I look forward to stepping on the scale now
I shop butcher stores and farmers markets and not the Hostess bakery
My family has lost weight and has become more fit as well

The look on my doctor's face when he saw me a year later, 100 pounds lighter, and officially took me off of all of my medications and admitted that Atkins really is a good way of eating (a year before he had lectured me)!

I feel a lot better and happier and I can run up all the stairs and escalators on the subway system and not be winded when I get to the top.

I can take my kids to the pool and concentrate of having fun, not how I look.
