Guilty Pleasures

In 3 years, this board has never been so slow - pretty much steady conversation, 7 days/week.  I wish I could identify what's changed and fix it - I've NEVER seen a most recent post being 9 hours old!!! 

So hopefully, to stir things up a bit (?!) I pose this question.  Yes, it's been asked before, but humor me...

Post-ops; Fess up, what is your favorite "guilty pleasure" since losing weight?
Pre-ops; What "guilty pleasure" you anticipate looking forward to once you lose your weight?

Mine - At the risk of boring people who have already heard me mention this, I just can't help myself.  Every day, it THRILLS ME to walk around and feel my legs NOT touch each other!!!  I never even CONSIDERED that possibility - and I LOVE IT!!!  Even when I'm brushing my teeth or drying my hair, I can't help but notice "the gap" in the mirror - how ridiculous is that? 

So - let 'r rip! What's YOUR guilty pleasure?

Guilty pleasure...hmmmm...
Well, since it is to be pleasureable finished off with a twinge of guilt, I think I'm going to say shopping. I have found shopping and figuring out style to be very pleasureable, but I can tend to have some guilt associated with it based on our family budget and determining whether it really is a need or a want. But, heck almighty is it fun to try on just about anything and have it fit vs. walking into a store knowing you're going to have to take an extra dose of your anti-depressant today because you couldn't button your pants again. So, yeah, shopping!

Well, since I am just starting my journey, my guilty pleasure is seeing my back fat disappear and watching the numbers on the size of my clothing go down instead of up for once!

Okay, there is a sort-of down side to the back-fat disappearing...  I used to rely on it to keep my bra where I liked it!  The bra "girdled" the fat, the fat kept the bra in place.  Win-win.

Now that sucker (the bra, that is) slips up at will, and I find myself tugging it back down to where I like it.

TMI for the DUDES on here, but dang...  (then again, SCREW the back fat!  Ribs are better!)

LMAO!  Yeah I know EXACTLY how you feel!  I used to joke with my hubby and tell him that I was an F cup in the front and a full C to D in the back. 

Now we are sadly lacking in the back and I'm fine with that...just wish they weren't so "tube-sockish" in the front.

Again sorry to the dudes, but what a pain!!

I think mine is having people at work notice my loss and give me big kudos!
