Signs It’s Time to Get More Serious About Your Weight Loss

  • You've completely forgotten what shoelaces are
  • Firemen direct ledge-jumpers to aim for you

  • Owner of Chinese restaurant cries joyous tears when he sees you

  • You've started wearing sweatpants to church
  • What you thought was a bad case of belly button lint turns out to be your missing cat
  • 
More often than not, you're steering with your stomach
  • You don’t pop your collar… your collar pops you
  • You can't find any donuts in your size
  • You had to MapQuest the gym you belong to
  • You've made up a mysterious knee injury to explain your waddling walk
  • You’ve convinced yourself that it’s “stylish” to leave top button of your slacks unbuttoned
  • Noticed you’ve started packing a can of frosting in your lunch again
  • When you ask your spouse, "Do I look fat?" he or she curls up into a fetal position
  • You dream you ate a giant marshmallow and when you wake up, you go to your computer, launch a search engine and try to find a confectionary store that sells giant marshmallows (dammit, there feels like there should be a better joke in there somewhere)
  • You go horseback riding and accidentally break a mare
  • Aliens need a second tractor beam to abduct you
  • You can clearly see yourself on Google Earth

  5. Sometimes I wear sweatpants to church, because I hop out of bed and jump in the car to make it to church before the first reading. Maybe I should just set my alarm so I can get up in time to dress like a normal person instead of having to wear my pjs

  7. lol about the sweatpants... I owned 5 pairs of black yoga pants and wore them from the moment my pregnancy started to show, right up until 5 months after I gave birth and had lost enough weight to get back into a pair of jeans!

  8. LOL! This had me rolling! Thought your giant marshmallow joke was original. Usually its that the person wakes up to find they're eating their pillow. :)

  25. The joke about the Chinese restaurant should have made me laugh out loud like the other quips did, instead of cry...I realized the owner of my Chinese restaurant and I are on a first name basis. :( Thanks for the comment tonight...it's always nice to know I've got that special someone out there to stick his foot up my ass when I need it ;) Love ya'.

  26. "Aliens need a second tractor beam to abduct you"
    "You can clearly see yourself on Google Earth"

    LOL! Great list. And you know, I always wonder how people can drive when I see their stomach wedged firmly up against the steering wheel.
