Good Morning. Share your best "you might be a lightweight if"
*********
If you've ever been to your pre-op support group meeting and they compliment you on how good you look and ask when you had you surgery.....you might be a lightweight.
If you've ever been flamed on a weight loss online support board because you're "too small" and some other heavy weight should be taking your place because they need it worse than you....you might be a lightweight.
If you got to goal in 6 months...you might be a lightweight.
If you've ever told someone you'll be swinging lizards for them...you might be a lightweight.
NEXT!

You might be a lightweight if you've lost half your body weight, and you've lost 100 lbs.
You might be a lightweight if your trainer (thin guy in his 20's) says - I wouldn't recommend that you lose any more weight, after you've lost "only" 107lbs.
You ARE a lightweight if you love this board!

You are a LW if on your first doctor's appointment, you slouch when they take your height, wear your heaviest clothing when you are weighed to try and make BMI of 40.
You are a LW if prior to surgery, people kept saying you weren't heavy enough, now that you are at goal, they are like, wow, I can't even recognize you anymore!!! Ha!
If while sitting waiting for your pre-op appts, others ask how long ago you had surgery....you might be a lightweight.
If you got funny looks when signing in at your surgeon's office....you might be a lightweight.
LOL, love this. AND so true.

If you've ever stashed 4 rolls of quarters in your pockets before you weighed--you might be a lightweight.
If you've ever eaten a huge Chinese meal and drank a gallon of water right before you weighed--you might be a lightweight.
If you've ever had a sleep study and propped your head up on 2 pillows to make sure you failed--you might be a lightweight.
