in Chit-Chat
I will miss studying chairs closely before sitting in them to make sure they will hold me.
I will miss becoming a contortionist just to tie my shoes
i will miss being the biggest person in the room
I will miss hearing " you have such a pretty face"


What will you "miss"?

    expressing a strong preference for tables over booths - really just in case I don't fit
    pretending to be really bothered by the dangerousness of amusement park rides - really just in case I don't fit
    not traveling by plane in case I don't fit
    going for the chair w/o arms in case I don't fit comfortably into the chair with arms
    only buying LONG pendant necklaces in case the short necklaces don't fit
    avoiding the non-disabled stall in public restrooms in case it's a tight fit
    not going into regular clothing stores ever, in case the largest size they have doesn't fit
    avoiding motels/hotels because I love baths and their tub may be small so I don't easily fit

    See a theme, there? haha I am not yet at "goal" but have surpassed these things being an issue...I am much happier now.

    Writing on the board at school and feeling my arm move. I will be glad when that is gone. Tag lines of your pretty for your size or you wouldn't look as big if you were taller.
    *shopping at Lane Bryant or Ashley Stewart.

    I will miss feeling unpretty when I look in the mirror.
    I will miss my "dinner rolls".
    I will miss sweating in places where you're not supposed to sweat--i.e. the underboob! (Had to be honest and go there.)
    I will miss my muffin top.
    I will miss having to tuck my lower belly into my pants and skirts.
    I will miss my extra chin.
    I will miss feeling like a popped can of biscuits in my clothes.
    I will miss my joint discomfort.
    I will miss the feelings of lethargy and apathy.

    NOT!

    1. Lane Bryant, Ashley Stewart, or Torrid.
    2. People noticing my boobs before my face.
    3. People taking pics of just my face without even asking if I wanted to have my body taken.
    4. Crying in fitting rooms.
    5. Settling.
    6. Being the fat , dark friend.
    7.A horrible attitude I had.
    One piece swimsuits.
    Last but not least, going to a club, bar or resturaunt pretty much anywhere and seeing the same exact outfits bc they got them from one of the plus size stores that I mentioned in number 1.

    I hear ya. I have actually been happy for people to scream "B**CH" at me just because they didn't include "FAT..." at the beginning. Messed up.

    I'll miss dreading going swimming and having to take my shorts off
    worrying whether or not I'll fit in the roller coaster
    worrying whether or not I'll be able to make the ~mile walk without being out of breath/sweaty
    never feeling pretty
    & not being able to shop in stores with actual cute clothes!

    I second the cute face comments & being the biggest person in the room too.
    Feeling things jiggle when I run, yeah I won't miss that.

    I think about that every time I run. x_x Can't wait for that to go away.

    Squeezing my butt into size 10 jeans and saying 'see it fits' then busting a hernia at the same time.
    Getting in the shower and not seeing my toes.
    Looking in the mirror sideways with my gut sucked in.

    Things jiggling when I walk
    Having my fat rolls swallow my bra band (yeah I went there)
    Back pains
    Having to wear long pants and tees in the summer and sweatting my butt off

    Feeling ashamed to eat something in public.
    Wearing high heels, for fear they might break.
    Buying a pice of clothing because it fits rather than because I like it.

    I will miss not buying new clothes because there is no point wasting money on nice clothes if I will look bad in them either way, might as well just sew ugly patches on the ugly old clothes.
    My mum's comments (e.g. when I said I would make her eat 3 meals a day if she was living with me, bear in mind she is underweight because of a lot of food phobias she suddenly developed after the menopause, she said "I'll get so fat! I bet YOU eat 3 meals a day, don't you!")

    The phrase

    "But you have a really pretty face"

    That's like..."if you weren't fat, you would be hot". I've always hated that line.
