We all know we could use a little inspiration every now and again and I know for me nothing inspires me more than people sharing the positive changes that weight loss can bring and there are a variety of ways that life does change.  So please share :)

Shopping anywhere, most especially the thrift store, and finding stuff that fits.
No steering wheel rubbing on my belly.
'Fun time' is more fun.
Goodbye J cup bra.
Goodbye wide shoes.
Goodbye $90 a month rx copays for comorbid meds.
Hello couch2 5k.
Hello walking up lots of stairs.
Goodbye wheezing and puffing after walking a block or two.

I fight badgers with spoons.

Traveling to Europe and being able to wear airplane seatbelt without an adjuster.  Also being able to walk 4-8 hours per day because my feet don't hurt like they used to.

Walking in a store and thinking "I want a ___" and finding it because I'm not limited to 1-2 plus size brands.

Taking first available table in restaurant and not worrying if I will fit in the booth or whether the table is adjustable.

 

Having an hour glass figure again.

gah!  i know.. why do we do that?  I thought it was my anxiety and/or frustration with my 4 yr old by the time i get up to pay.  That's when i notice it, when i get up to pay/check out.  embarrassing
