A Good Thing & A Bad Thing About Losing Weight

[Poly Pal]

First the "bad" thing: With less padding, it is getting uncomfortable to sit on a hard chair for a long time. Anybody else experience this? I find myself shifting around in wooden chairs more and more.

And the good thing? ....I am getting better gas mileage in my car! LOL!! Honest, I've gone from 29.5 MPG to 31 MPG (on the highway commuting back and forth to work)

Wow!! I'll have to check my gas mileage!!! Another plus...
Here's some more:
"Bad thing"....my wardrobe has decreased to a couple of pairs of shorts because everything is too big. I don't want to buy too much cuz I'm almost halfway there!!
"good thing"...my wardrobe has decreased to a couple of pairs of shorts because everything is too big. Uh-Oh!! Time to go shopping!!! lol

Is this bad or good????

I bought a couple of new outfits in May and I put on one this week and the pants were so baggy that they grew in length because my belly isn't holding them up!!!

I guess it's good but they are really nice pants and look so nice for work! It figures!!

Melanie - if those pants are expensive work clothes - you should ask around your work and see if anyone knows a good tailor. It will be cheaper to have them taking in, rather than buy more, no?

And think how cool it will be to say "I need these taken IN" instead of let out! LOL!

Okay here goes my good and bad thing:

Bad Thing: Have not exactly lost as I have wanted

Good Thing: Dropped my Cholesterol from 197 to 143

PolyPal i thought i was the only one. I guess we found our tailbones or something. I was telling my dh about this and he thought i was nuts. I'm so relieved to see it's not only me. When i set in cushy chairs no problem but the wrought iron patio furninture is gonna need some padding! It's so weird how you feel parts you never felt before!

My bad thing: Well i can't seem to think of one bad thing about my loss. Well it does take me longer to dress of a morning i can't ever decide what to wear and now i wear belts so i have to match everything up. And i've stop wearing make up just cause i got some sun on my face and no longer feel i need it just a dap of lipstick so that makes up for the loss time dressing.

My Good thing: I feel better have more confidence and i look much better and could hold hold to play with the kids longer. It does'nt take me as long to finish a meal anymore. I fit in rides better at the parks no more being the biggest on the ride and having my tummy squished. I can wear sleevless shirts for the first time in years!! I even wear sandals and shorts again!

bad thing first- I have all this extra skin that makes getting into pants that fit right almost impossible.

good thing- I have gone from a size 22 to a size 6 even with the extra skin
