Love/Hate Losing weight.

What do you love and hate about losing weight ?

I love being more physically active and conscious about what i'm eating and being healthy, and of course, looking better. =)

I hate loose skin, my boobs disappearing and people coming up to me when I'm reading "Eat this, Not That!" and saying, "Girrrl, you don't need to lose weight baby!"

I really like going to my doctor's and not being told 'you know you could stand to lose a few pounds...'   Can't think of anything I don't like, really.

^ Yeah! Last time I went to the doctor's and got on the scales he said, "perfect." Yeah baby!

My boobs went a bit smaller and a bit saggier for a bit, but now the sagginess has gone (and they're still DD) - don't know if that encourages anyone who is worried about boob issues when losing weight!

I like clothes shopping. I like parading around the house in my underwear. I like that my "healthy" food tastes better than restaurant food and I'm known in my circle as "chef bairn" not "dieter bairn", never that.

I don't like... um, I don't like the stupid psychological stuff, like caring that I've put on 2lb when I went most my life quite happily not even knowing how much I weighed.

And I don't like being cold all the bloody time!

I love almost everything about losing weight.  I love being able to run, I love that I'm feeling better and making healthy choices that will impact my life for the positive instead of negatively.

The only thing I'm really hating right now is having to buy new clothes.  Not because it doesn't feel GREAT, not because I don't like new clothes.  But because I'm broke. :)

I love the fact that it's getting easier to shop for clothes and that I can finally wear bras again that don't resemble straight jackets... and of course having more energy, confidence and the motivation to stick with it.

What I don't love is going to the doctor and being told I'm perfectly healthy BUT STILL mildly overweight. It's a looong journey to a healthy BMI when your starting point is mildy obese!

Two words: Thrift Stores!! There's some killer vintage hiding around in some places if you look hard enough :) 

Oh, don't think I don't hit up the thrift stores!!  It's one of my favorite stops whenever I'm looking for clothes, or furniture, or kitchen stuff, or anything really.  My main problem is pants though.  I find a million shirts and some really wild skirts usually, but have a hell of a time finding anything above a size 10, but below a size 20 in the thrift stores I shop at.

Ha, I'll have to add 'buying wild skirts' to my list of loves once I find my knees again

Buying new clothes that look and feel better is totally in the top two great reasons to losing weight. just dropping a pant size makes me want to go shopping. =) !

I can't think of anything I don't like about losing weight.  I even like my breasts getting a bit smaller as I can finally find button down shirts that fit.  I realize I'm in the minority on that one, but my body is so much more comfortable being a half cup smaller. 

I love the confidence I gain from losing weight... My husband loves it too ;). I would also love it if my boobs got smaller but they never seem to really change much.

I don't like all the planning involved. I wish sometimes everything was already done for me. I do it though because it keeps me in line : )

I like the confidence it gives me, and how I can fit into clothes that I couldn't fit into before because I thought they "shrunk".
I like how I can do things that I couldn't do before, and not become half as tired. I love dropping a pant size, and watching the fat slowly disappear.

I'm not a fan of counting calories, and I don't like having to go shopping more often. I'm pretty upset that all my sweaters are becoming too big and I have to go shopping for new ones. It is exciting knowing that I went down a size, but I love all my sweaters and don't want to have to get rid of them.
