How Has Losing Weight Changed Your Life?

[Trying4Thin]

Hi everyone!

I am sure that you will all agree that losing weight is a huge (pardon the pun) undertaking. I was wondering how it has changed your life thus far. Doesnt matter if you have just started, are half way, or at the finish line.


Better physical health and appearance
Improved self confidence "I know I can scale this mountain"
I actually like myself now
Mirrors dont make me run for cover (unless I am at the gym)
Smaller clothes!!
It helped me decide what career direction I want to take in my life
People actually notice ME now; and maybe not my size so much as b4
No unnecessary aches and pains anymore that are weight induced
I am much much happier!
I got the chance to "meet" all of you! My new best friends!!
Accountability is key to any plan
Keeping a journal instead of running to the microwave & mistaking it for Dr. Freud
I like exercise and exercise likes me!
I have a future now; I didnt before
I CAN (and I DID) change my destiny..
I can lose weight on my own

I can't really say I notice a huge difference...but I do notice a few things.

I have more energy
I can make it up the 3 flights to my apt without being out of breath
I can almost fit into the pants I wore a year ago
I feel more flexible
