Some Things I have Noticed Since Losing Weight REPOST

I posted this a long time ago when I was new to Gather. I thought I would repost it just for fun. These are some funny observations I have made since losing weight

Shaving takes less time because there is less surface area

When I try to scratch my chin I can only find one

When panties are too big, they bunch up in the back of your pants (this does not feel good OR look good?buy new underwear!)

It is more fun to get rid of clothes because they are too big than it is to get rid of clothes because they are too small.

When I try to lay my arm across my stomach when I'm in bed I wonder where I went

Old ladies CAN shop in the juniors section

When pants get too big around the waist, they also get too long

I need a new wedding ring?the old one is too big (good reason to get more diamonds, I think)

It is more fun to shop for swimming suits. I don't have to do it with my eyes closed anymore.

My feet seem closer to my arms when I tie my shoes

My shorts stay where they should when I walk

I have more room in my shoes

I have less room on my lap

It is easier to scratch the itch in the middle of my back

Dressing rooms seem bigger, and so do elevators

The bottoms of my arms no longer wave good-bye when I am just trying to wave with my hands.

I DO have knee caps and hip bones

I have to use more water in the bathtub, as there is less water displacement

I have no place to set my plate when watching TV

There IS room for two on our love seat

Has anyone else discovered anything new (especially anything funny) since losing weight?

Gosh, when I lost my weight each one of these was sooooooo true! One thing I need to do is get all new rings. They all fall off now. But that's the fun of it all new ones now. My hubby is groaning, LOL!

Thank you - I love it and you look absolutely smashing. I quit drinking wine for a while because there are too many calories in all the wine I poured! Anyway, I love each one of these great excuses...I've always shopped in the Junior Department and I'm 58!~lol...I wear clothes appropriate to my spirit not my age! Great article and glad you reposted - I missed it the first time! Salud.

By the way, if you don't mind me asking, how much weight did you lose and how long did it take you and how'd you do it! Another article please! Oh put before and after pictures - this may really inspire many folks. Salud.

The last funny thing that happened to me, actually to my husband and I. He gave me a bear hug and bruised my ribs. Between the two of us we have lost 200lbs. Our ribs are making more contact now. LOL

Mariana, I have only lost about 40 lbs, but I can see such a big difference in the way I look. Unfortunately, I don't have any good before pictures, since I am usually the one doing the picture taking! Eyvonne...congrats to you and your husband! The heaviest people at the gym are the ones I most admire (as well as the elderly people who are there). I don't know if I would have had the will power to lose over 100 pounds, so good for you! I admire you!

I noticed the following things also when I lost 42 pounds: When pants get too big around the waist, they also get too long - that's funny I thought I was shrinking also. When panties are too big, they bunch up in the back of your pants (this does not feel good OR look good?buy new underwear!) My Husband woud laugh at the bunch in the back until I bought new ones : )

Hoping to discover a few of these things myself, as I set out to lose a few of my own unwanted pounds. Congratulations on the weight loss!

hi again Sherine - 40 pounds is a lot of weight - if I lost 40 pounds I'd weigh 105 and I look really thin at that weight - to me, I'll stick to 125 - 130...Thanks for writing back! How long did it take you to lose 40 pounds and how did you do it? Salud.

These are so cute! I'm working on losing.. the sad thing is that I MIGHT have lost some, but since I never did measurements I can't tell if it is weight loss or my clothes stretching out. :(

I look so very forward to someday realizing these truths! Thanks Sherine, for giving me even more to look forward to! I loved this!

Really cute and congrats on your weight loss. I started weight watchers again on Jan 2nd and have lost 12 lbs so far so I'm on my way.

Congratulations on the weight loss. It's a lot of hard work. One thing I noticed was that junk food didn't look so appealing anymore because I knew how much I was going to have to suffer to get rid of it.
