Not getting chafed thighs when you wear shorts or a skirt

 

[tlgoblue]

Being able to sit down without feelinglike I'm going to POP!

 

[CALIFLADY]

- not having an indent on my wrist where my watch is

- being able to spin my rings on my fingers, all the way around

- being able to bend over while standing to tie my shoes

- not having my shirts "hug" my hips, but to have them hang freely

- trying on that next smaller size, and realizing that it fits!

- being able to tuck in my shirt without unbuttoning my pants

- being able to cross my legs, and not just at the ankles!

...enjoying the now-sincere compliments that my dh gives me

...the feeling of exhilaration after finishing a hard workout

...having my dds tell me I not "as fat" as I used to be

...swimming my clothes and having my co-workers tell me I look ridiculous b/c they're so big!

there are so many more....no time to list them all!

....getting a new clippie!

....Not having button-up blouses gap in the middle!

....Going to bed at night, knowing I stuck to my goals for the day!

....Planning a WDW trip with your best friend!!

*~* Liking what I see when I look in the mirror

*~* Wearing low rise jeans and feeling confident about how they look on me

*~* Sitting down and not having belly rolls

*~* Watching my parents laugh and joke and act like kids when we are working out together

*~* KNOWING I'm in this for life and won't "gain it all back"

*~* The wonderful community feeling and support this little part of cyberspace has created for so many of us

*~* The amazing attitude transformation and belief in myself that I've gained from working out and eating better

*~* Realizing anything is possible

*~* Knowing I'll be looking great on our cruise in Feb!

--not needing an airline seat belt extender

--not being jammed in the thigh by my car's seat belt buckle

--being able to walk for miles without foot pain

--being able to fit on the rides at MK (some of them were very tight)

--giving up all my elastic waist pants.

 

[Otto's Doll]

Being able to walk without my arms brushing my sides!

Tying my shoes without a major hassle.

My kids hugging me, and their arms going all the way around.

Feeling so much better!

Getting the jeans on with out having to lie on the bed or suck in my tummy.

The inspiration I get when I read others victory posts.

I'm with nativetxn on that thigh not rubbing thing.

The admiration in my husbands eyes.

The fitted shirts that I always wanted and now can have.

Fitting into pants that are in the "Teen" range instead of the "20's".

Cheering on my best friend and her doing the same for me.

The wonderful loving people here on WISH!!
