You know you're losing weight on raw food when...

[mangotango]

you are standing at the sink, eating a juicy mango, and your shorts literally fall off your body and land on the floor! Happened to me just now. :D

What's your moment to remember?

[Morn]

too funny. Mine was just a few weeks ago when I walked past a window of a shop and saw my reflection and didn't see a fat person but a thin one looking back at me. It was a good moment!:)

[Coriander74]

when you have to go to work holding up the waist of your pants that fit only two days ago and you don't have a belt! :D

[barose]

When you have large bags of too large clothes to happily get rid of. Its slim pickings in my closet now, but I am so glad - (waiting for fall clothes to come out).

When you constantly taking pants and skirts to the tailor so you'll have something to wear (I hate baggy clothes). Also, consignment and thrift stores are my best friends so far. :)

[JennaBoBenna]

Haha!

I was walking through Target with my mom and walked by a full length mirror and went "WHOA WHO'S THAT!"
I had to stand and pose for a few minutes :D

[dreamrawalwz]

When you wear silky (feeling) underwear with too big cotton pants and bend over at work or sit down and when you get up our pants fall off :eek:

[trugoddess]

When you step out for work thinking you're looking really cute in your skirt, only to see people giving you "the look" and then you look down to see that your back split is now squarely in the front. Happened to me last week...LOVED IT!

[Dj 247]

I love all the stories, too funny. Morn you look so awesome! If I were you I would look in every mirror and window I pass, and think WOW! My weight has been so up and down I don't think people are surprised much by it anymore, but they will be surpised when I keep it off this time! WHOO HOO!

[Nurse in the Raw]

Morn does look great. I love her blog too.....it's me in every way. Even our thoughts and family life are the same. I am a brunette Morn. It's nice to see how my life is going to turn out :D

[silverundertone]

....the boss asks if your doing meth because your 'so damn skinny'

[lavendarJ]

1. When your workout clothes look saggy in the backside:eek: EEEKKK...never ever had that issue before

2. When you have to grab the drawstring on your capri workout pants put it around your head while you do sprints and jumping jacks - so that your pants don't fall off in public

3. When you find that you daily wash the same four workout outfits and that you only wear workout outfits (unless you are going to work or some other event) because you can't fit anything or afford to buy anything else at the moment

[aililiu]

lol, this all rings so true. i walked to the other end of my house the other day and my pants were around my ankles by then. i have to wear a belt with EVERYTHING.

how about

-- when youre finding clothes from YEARS ago fit you again (for me... grade 8)
-- when your bf/dh can finally pick you up and carry you around easily!!! LOVE IT!!!
--when you suddenly want to wear other colours than "slimming black"


:p

[barose]

:p

LMAO! My 8th grade clothes were acid wash "mom jeans". No thank you!

I do have some of my mothers clothes from the '60 though. I still cant get into them (a size 12 in 1968 is todays 4 - no joke and I have proof!). My goal is to fit into one of her skirts.

[3kidsmommy]

When your trying to get comfy in bed on your side and all you feel is your pertruding hip bone!

[aililiu]

ohmigoodness! & i totally have to sleep with a pillow between my knees because they havent got their own cushion anymore, lol :p :rolleyes:

[Eilene]

When you can pull your pants down without unzipping them!. I was like that about 3 months ago...but I have gained it back.

[Coriander74]

2. When you have to grab the drawstring on your capri workout pants put it around your head while you do sprints and jumping jacks - so that your pants don't fall off in public


I am literally about to fall out of my chair laughing right now!!!!!!

I would LOVE to see that in public, you putting your drawstring around your head!!! LMAO!!!!

[lavendarJ]

You know you're losing weight on raw when you have to wear your 14 year old niece's clothes...
I am on a tight budget and so I had to borrow a pair of my niece's jeans last night for work today. I don't really like jeans and so the only ones I have are the ones I first bought last year when I when I dropped to a size 12/14. They look weird and baggy on me now. The jeans are too small for my niece and they are a junior's 11/12. They are very loose and I needed a belt to wear them to work today. We had an 1 1/2 hour lunch session before the next set of meetings and some friends and I went to the mall. I tried on a pair of jeans in women's sizes because I wasn't really sure what my jean size was since I'm still wearing these baggy 10/12 clothes. Do you know that those jeans at the Gap were an 8?

I didn't buy them; it was just something to put them on. I was wearing 18/20 at the very beginning of August '06. And the 8's had the nerve to be lose at that!!!

Wow!

[Riiiya]

I had to stand and pose for a few minutes :D

Oh my i love that! i'm tempted to do that too at target hahah.. but isn't it great that you can actually LIKE the way you look AND know that you're healthy too :)

[VeggieMel]

... when people say, "Wow! You look great! Whatever you're doing, keep doing it!"

[RAWk Angel]

Ok so I have only been doing 100% raw for a week, and my only thing right now is I can pull my jeans off without having to unbutton/unzip them. I know it isn't a big deal, but to me, it is showing i am heading in the right direction. I would love to jump on the scale to see if I lost anything, but I refuse to be a slave to my scale like I jad been many years ago.

[barose]

I had to break out the sewing machine to take in my jeans for the last time. They are pretty much maxed out and cant get any smaller after this (w/o them looking funny).

I've been holding off making major clothing purchases and I hope to be able to wait until late summer/early fall. I did buy a few items already though. :o

[Davylp25]

You know your losing weight on raw, when you carrying bags full of Young Coconuts from Whole Foods and you keep having to stop- put bags down to pull up your pants, that keep slipping down, and your not a rapper in a rap video. Not a good look.:D

[EZ rider]

I've been holding off making major clothing purchases.
Me too. I want to see if I continue to lose weight and if so how much. Until I settle out I am going to buy as few clothes as I can.

[menat]

When your jeans is starting to slide off of your booty. You should be happy about it but really it makes you mad that everyone is looking at 2 inches of your panties, but you don't realize until you randonly check yourself.

I should be a Victoria Secret model by now, since the whole world has seen my undies.

[ChaiLife]

I LOVE this thread. Can't wait to participate and add my .02 worth. Today, I am just happy to be on day 2 of my 30 day commitment. :)

[Conscious Midwife]

When you finally return to 100% RAW the universe rewards you with a 4lb overnight weight loss.

You also know you are loosing weight on RAW when you not only feel lighter but the weight no longer distracts you from the abundance that is available in the world!

[irishserra]

...When a family member who has their head up their butt most of the time and never hands out false compliments feels compelled to tell another family member that I look like I'm really losing weight...

[menat]

Ha! Irish, they can't deny it, huh?

[irishserra]

Guess not. What's really confusing is, the scale has not moved, but something is changing. My clothes fit very differently and people are seeing changes.

[trugoddess]

...when you bend over to pick something up and your low waist jeans slip off your hips and don't stand up with you. LOVING IT!!!

[Riiiya]

when you put on shorts and start walking... and secretively glance down to see how your legs looks.....and surprise THEY LOOK GOOD WOAH! lol...... raw food is magic! MAGIC wooho

[quajo]

When you put on an old pair of what used to be fitted sexy boyshorts and now find that they are now a lacey pair of baggy undies! You say to yourself, hmmmm....I could've sworn these fit me a week ago...You then put on your pants anyway and realize that your underwear is so baggy it makes your butt look bunchy!!! Not a good look...but very rewarding!!! :D :D :D
