Weird Accomplishments
I've experienced pretty much all of the things mentioned (with the possible exception of buying cute outfits! ).
Besides going from a 54" waist to a 40" waist in my jeans and from a 3XL to L or XL in shirts, sweaters and jackets one of the biggest thrills was being able to wear my rings again. Both of them have special meaning to me and I hadn't been able to wear either of them in almost 5 years. Now they're actually loose!! My watchband has also gone from cutting into my pudgy wrist to spinning freely around my arm. I sometimes have to rotate the watch back up to the top so I can see what time it is. I don't think I've ever had that experience before.
