298.0. "Feeling GOOD!!!!!!!" by MSDOA1::MCMULLIN () Tue Jun 07 1988 11:38

    I feel great today!!  I had a woman I work with and see on a daily
    basis ask me this morning if I had lost alot of weight!  I can't
    really tell that I have (as far as the scales go), but if it's starting
    to show on my body, I guess that's what really matters, huh?  
    
    What things make everyone else feel good?????

298.1on feeling great...JJM::ASBURYTue Jun 07 1988 12:0111
    Like probably most (if not all) dieters, I feel great when someone
    notices the results of my hard work! It's great when I see people
    I haven't seen since about 20 pounds ago...They say such nice things
    and I become re-motivated to "keep up the good work"! 
    
    I also feel great when I go clothes shopping and have to go back
    out to get a *smaller* size than the one I first took into the dressing
    room!

    Having my Dr. say "Wow!  You dropped your cholesteral by 70 points
    in six weeks.  What did you do?"  Add to this the ease with which
    I can now climb hills on by bike.  Feels great.

298.4compliments always help :-)ARGUS::CORWINI don't care if I AM a lemmingTue Jun 07 1988 18:0711
It's been such a "long time" since I've lost (most) of my weight that it is
pretty rare that I receive comments these days.  I had lunch with a couple of
people I hadn't seen in a "longer time", and one of them was suitably
impressed. :-)  I was amused at the way he was trying to say that I was a bit
heavier last time he saw me without insulting me, you know? :-)

OK, I'll admit that I was really looking forward to seeing these people
and hearing what they had to say :-) :-).

298.6SKETCH::BASSETTDesignWed Jun 08 1988 14:1912
    I too feel great when (lately) I can reach faaaarrr in my closet
    and get those old skirts out that I used to wear 2 years ago and
    even better because they aren't out of style!
    
    
    What I don't like is when someone say "have you lost weight?" and
    you didn't.  If anything you have gained 10 pounds!  What are they
    saying, that you were even heavier 8 months ago!
    
    
    

298.7Feelin' FINE!RAVEN1::D_PAINEWed Jun 08 1988 15:0410
    I feel GREAT when I can sit down and look down at my legs, and they
    aren't as widely SPREAD out as they used to be!! (You know how fat
    they look when your legs are squished FLAT as you're sitting down?)
    
    What also makes me feel good is that my mother has gotten to the
    point where she notices my results...and she has started following
    my methods (discretely!!!:-))!!

298.8It feels good!THOTH::MCNEILWed Jul 20 1988 17:5921
    I just had a pretty good experience last week.
    
    I went downstairs and pulled out some old clothes that have been
    packed away for 2 years to see how much more weight I needed to
    lose before I could get back into them,(I lost 12 lbs recently).
    Well.....its turns out I got back into EVERYTHING!!!  7 pairs of
    jeans that I have not been able to wear in 2 years!  My wardrobe
    just grew without spending a cent.  I love it! And now, I still
    have boxes down there with clothes from 4 years ago (I keep
    everything) that I hope to start looking though in another month
    or 2.....(they are a couple MORE sizes smaller)
    
    And as everyone says....the comments are wonderful!
    
    There is no stopping now!!!
    
    (Just wish I had done it in February to be ready for the bathing
    suit weather....but hey....better late than never right?)  Theres
    always NEXT summer.
