You Know You've Lost Weight When...
I love it! Everything is either you sliding into it, or it sliding off of you !!!LOL!! I'm sliding into shoes and boots too. It's so freeing isn't it! Also rings...yes...I'm going to have to have all of my rings sized!!
I'm not feeling the cold though...thankful for that!

When you try to save money while at an annual follow-up at your Bariatric Centre, by parking blocks away and walking. I used to park as close to the door as possible. Saved $12 and got in some exercise.
CENTURY CLUB MEMBER at 6 months post-op.

I too am not concerned with parking anymore. Parking a few rows over...no big deal anymore...what's a few more steps!

You know your losing weight when:
1. You sit in your car and buckle up easily without having to re-adjust to find the buckle, you actually have a lap and the steering wheel is nowhere near your stomach.
2. You find yourself bounding up the stairs to get something instead of hoping someone else could go up and get it.
3. You feel more confident getting ready in the morning, you don't have to stretch out clothing to give yourself more room, your bras aren't digging into your back, and you feel sexy wandering around in a bra and panties!

I LOVE your list! Those are great "problems" to have LOL LOL
I have two similar situations like yours:
I have been at my work place for going on 14 years, there are people to this day who pass me in the hallway that have mostly known me as MO and they walk right by... I will say "Good morning Cathy," they stop, look at me and then all the sudden it clicks "DAISY!!!!" I didn't even recognize you! Get used to it, it will be happening for a while!
I never knew I had bones in my butt until one day I was sitting on the TTC going into wor****pt shifting my weight from one butt cheek to the other because I had all this pain! Then it dawned on me, Oh I have butt bones! Who knew!
Love all your discoveries and how great you are doing, super proud of you Barb!
