What has weightloss allowed you to do?

[Gordz]

Just wondering what you have found you've been able to do again that you couldn't used to when you were at your heaviest?

- Can put my foot up on a park bench to tie shoelace, instead of having to sit down with a foot sideways over my knee

I have gone from opening the wardrobe door and picking the same old pair of pants and shirt to wear to opening the wardrobe door and wondering which pair of pants look the less baggy to wear. I have put aside numerous clothes to give away as they are all too big. I'm not buying new clothes until I'm at goal weight. Lucky for me I have clothes in sizes from 14-18 in my cupboard so there are "new" clothes to wear to replace the ones now that are too big!!

I am (slowly) gaining some confidence and self esteem back and not comparing myself to others so much!!

It has allowed me to wear shorts! I never used to wear them and so i would get really really hot in summer- but today i am sitting here in a pair of shorts that fit and dont make me feel like a wale in shorts

Awesome effort Mumnbub....

I can cross one leg over the other when Im sitting down and be comfortable...so small, but it feels so good.

And walking into any clothes shop and knowing I can fit into their clothes is the best feeling in the world.

Well, the most dramatic thing is of course the clothing.

Next to that, I'm able to ride/bike longer and faster as my endurance has gone up.

Other things, too -- bedroom performance

It allowed me to wear anything taht I want. But most of all, preventing heart disease and other dangerous problem.
