You know you've had WLS if....


... "I'm a loser" is a good thing.

... "Welcome to the other side" doesn't include death.

...New clothes fall off in a week.

...You get excited about hand me downs.

...Going bald and getting wrinkles is a good thing.

...Hitting the "Century Mark" is actually a good thing.

...When your rear end no longer looks like a mudslide.

... Other women are calling you names behind your back.

...When you are glared at in the plus size department because you don't "belong there". And you aren't sure where to even begin to look for your size of clothes

...When you really don't have a thing to wear.

...You have to prove you are the person on the drivers license.

...You start being in the pictures not behind the camera.

...You want to hug everyone fat and hand them your surgeon's card.

...When you order a doggy bag at the same time as your meal.

...Being too small for your britches.

...When you go pick up your teenager at school and all the other kids say WOW you're mom is hot!

...You truly are a "cheap date".

...When you run to the door and don't hear a flapping sound.

...Vitamins feel like a meal.

...You go from a 46DD to 32A in a year and didn't have a breast reduction.

...You've just lost 100 lbs and run into a high school friend who asks "did you change your hair?"

...You can cross your legs... both of them!

...Instead of a Wonder Bra you need a "Wonder Where They Went Bra"

...When your obsession from food turns to your scale.

...When your weight bench is no longer used for drying your fine washables.

...Your mother says "You don't eat enough" or "You are getting too thin".

...When your doctor looks you in the eye and says "I know you will have success with this." or "You need more calories each day."

...When wearing pantyhose, you don't have to worry that you might ignite a fire.

...When you wave and your upper arms wave back.

...You safety pin your underwear.

...Your husband introduces you as his "New Skinny Girlfriend".

...You cannot blame the cat or dog for shedding.

...You cancel your Lane Bryant Credit Card and start shopping at Victoria's Secret.

...3 Lean Cuisines a week and that's your total grocery purchase.

...The kids wonder what happened to the cake and cookie god..did he die???

LMAO I have so had some of these happen to me. The best one is the shopping one. I felt odd in the plus size section cause I was the smallest one there.

I shall now be know as Hagatha: Queen of the queens.

Thanks for the Tuesday morning laugh.

I do have an obsession with my scale. It used to just sit there and collect dust!

This absolutely made my day.. Thank you so much for the giggle..

Who can forget wearing cordoroy pants & hearing the "whoosh whoosh" sound as your thighs rubbed together?  I was so afraid of combustion.. LOL.. 

One of the funniest moments I ever had with my journey is during the summer 2 years ago & a little over 100 pounds lighter..

Our family went for a drive & I had my arm 1/2 way hanging out the window with a short sleeve shirt..  My son in the back seat asked me how my "air conditioning was" 

I was a little confused & asked him to explain.. he pointed out my arm was "flapping" in the breeze & asked if it was helping to keep me cool.. & he proceeded to show me.. sure enough.. my arm.. flapping in the breeze.. LOL..

OMG.. on the floor with that one..   

Thanks again,
Mickey
