Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 This was taken from: http://diet.sandyland.net/ Fifty things about losing fifty Some one asked me what it feels like being 50 pounds lighter... This is what I came up with. Most of which only a person who has been there can relate to. 1. When I get out of the tub there is more than 2 inches of water left in the tub. 2. My butt arrives when I expect it to when backing up in tight spaces. 3. Nylons don't bind. 4. I can shave my " bikini " area without a mirror. 5. I can tie my shoes and breathe at the same time. 6. I do not have to lie on the bed to zip my jeans. 7. Our home now has a full length mirror. 8. All seat belts fit. 9. I can bend down to shave my ankles. 10. I don't have to powder in the creases. 11. I fit in movie theater seats. 12. I can buy cloths at the dollar store. 13. When I squat I do not lose my balance and topple over. 14. When I wear a belt it really is to hold my pants up. 15. When I scrub the bathtub I do not feel like I am wearing an inner tube. 16. I do not wear out the inner thighs of my pants first. 17. The turnstiles at the stores don't trap me anymore. 18. I can tuck my shirt in. 19. Heartburn does not keep me up nights. 20. I fit in the swings at the park. 21. Stairs are not a breathless experience. 22. A beach towel is no longer required to wrap in after a shower, a regular towel will do. 23. A twin bed feels big. 24. My feet are happier. 25. I have a lap. 26. When getting dressed, it is about what looks good, not what fits. 27. Dropped food does not land on my belly. 28. I can do a sit up, without cheating. 29. I can use the pumice stone on my feet,without looking like a contortionist. 30. No more chaffing! 31. I am still a pear, just not the Jumbo size, more the lunch box size. 32. If I step on your foot, I am just sorry, not worried I broke your foot. 33. When laying on the couch, nothing hangs off. 34. I can play tag with the kids for an hour without collapsing. 35. I do not feel like Mobey Dick in a bathing suit. 36. Two people and me can fit in the back seat of the car unsquished. 37. When people take a second glance it is because they can't believe how good I look, not they can't believe how big I am. 38. I do not make that swishing noise when I walk. 39. My boobs do not slap me in the face when I try to run. 40. Going to the drive through now cost under 10 bucks 41. I no longer leave high heel marks in linoleum. 42. The treadmill no longer needs dusting. 43. I fit in a standard sleeping bag. 44. There are less dirty dishes to wash. 45. I can dive into the pool without causing a tidal wave. 46. I fit in the kids wading pool! 47. People no longer add " BUT she has such a pretty face " . 48. I have toes, I can see them! 49.
