Things that you can do now that you lost weight

I was just wondering what things come to mind from the people that have lost
quite a bit of their weight?

1. Play sports better and probably longer as I age.
2. Enjoy buying clothes for the first time ever.
3. Tying my shoes is easy.
4. Just being more comfortable in general.

I just joined a bicycle club today. http://www.wpwbikeclub.org/ I am so
excited. I would have never done that at 250 pounds or even 210 for that
matter.

Enjoy,
Curt

I can look at myself in the mirror without having to pretend to myself that
I don't see what I see. It's kinda nice. :-)

The visual of someone having sex with a 200 pound sow was really not
necessary.

- Not having heartburn

Do you find that low carb diets help reduce gastric
reflux diseases symptoms?

If yes....why is that you think?

Why just for the day?

It depends on if you have an actual disease, like GERD, or if you just have
occasional bouts of indigestion from eating certain foods or too much food.

I tried going off Prilosec after I'd lost a lot of weight on Atkins last
year. My severe symptoms started again almost immediately.

3. Tying my shoes is easy.

Ditto on the shoe issue.
No longer waddling
Not limping as quickly
Not using parking disabled placard much at all
More stamina
Can raise my leg to my chest and actually get a stretch :-)
Getting on and off the floor is easier
Consistently sitting/standing up straight is easier
Getting up from a recliner is easier
Shaving my legs is a LOT easier
I fit better on the toilet

:

I can look in the mirror without being grossed out.
I can cross my legs when sitting down
I can give myself a pedicure without being a contortionist
I can lay in bed and watch the TV without my big belly getting in the way
I can walk more than 100 feet without getting winded.
I don't have to take antacids anymore
I can and do forget to eat
I can be on my feet for long periods of time without hip/back pain
I can now wear any shoes in my closet without the bones feeling like they
are coming through the bottom of my feet
I enjoy daily exercise (unheard of before)

Since I am feeling better about my appearance and feeling better physically,
I do a lot of vanity things I didn't do before. I really enjoy shopping for
clothes. I love going to get my hair done and I wear makeup again (I pretty
much quit that when I got fat). I got my teeth bleached. I've become much
more social, I have clothes to wear out now other than leggings and Men's
XXL t-shirts so I am not ashamed to go places and be with people. Seems
every day it occurs to me I am doing something that I didn't used to do or
be able to do. This WOE has REALLY changed my life.
