Is there anything you miss about being fat?

Eating whatever the hell I wanted!

I miss my muumuus. They were so comfortable, but they looked better 30 pounds ago. Now, I can't find one that fits right.

Eating as much sugar, but also when i was bigger I wasn't so cold as easily. I can't even sit in weather that is under 55 degrees anymore without shivering, and having to wear a sweatshirt. I miss not being able to eat fast food without getting sick, but I am now okay with it.

o well. its part of being a healthier me, and i'm okay with that. As far as guys, they stare but at least i know i can actually hold a conversation with one without it being about my "curves".

Right now, I do miss this, and not even thinking about the calories:

I do not miss being fat at all. The only thing that has sucked since I lost weight is that when I sleep on my side (which is how I sleep 95% of the time) my knees grind together. There used to be cushioning on them or my thighs were fat enough to hold them further apart. Lol! So I have to sleep with a pillow between my legs now and it makes me feel like an old person hahaha. But I would take that any day over being fat

i guess that i could easily house a whole bag of tyson buffalo tenders with a bowl of bleu cheese, rub one out, then eat a whole column of oreos with whole milk and be unable to give a *kitten* less about what i just did to myself.

It will prolly be my boobs cause I don't have much to start with. My hubby says they are already getting smaller, although he offered to buy me some once I got to goal.... NOT... sorry...

Church pews and hard chairs in general are now extremely hard to sit in. You drop 70 pounds and all of a sudden you can't sit on your tush like you used to!

I miss how ignorant I was about food. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. I also miss being able to hide behind my "fatness". But with all that being said, I wouldn't go back to it for anything. This whole process has taught me so much about myself.

TheGimper

Eating junk food.. Lol.

Exactly. Or to be more precise, eating whatever I wanted and not caring if it was bad for me.

there is only one thing in this world which push me to adopt a good ideal healthy lifestyle is my increasing weight,i am not fat i am not skinny but this fat keep a eye on me................................so i love my fat for this

flabulous4

I wasn't fat...I was big-boned! :sad:

TheBigYin

I'll tell you more honestly in another 40-50lb's, but so far...

Not A Damned Thing!

Being warmer in winter...... OMG I so miss my insulation..... I really do... apart from that.... nothing else. But then again it will come in handy not having the insulation in summer...... catch 22.... either freeze in winter or boil in summer.....

Yep noticed that as well.... boney bums kinda suck. The extra padding made it nicer

My face. Not used to it, don't like looking at it. I think it looked best about 35 pounds ago.

This. Without as much fat on my face, I'm starting to look my age. :-/. At least my heart will look my age now too!

NegativityQueen

NOPE. SKINNY FTW

bushidowoman

No. I still eat the foods I want, just in moderation now. Which means I can really enjoy them without feeling sick, bloated, or guilty afterward.
I like the way I look, but most importantly, I like the way I feel.

Britbratkins3

I'm going to miss not having all this attention too... from boys. Especially when it's the guys who didn't give a rip roaring hoot about me before I became skinny. I am also going to miss eating everything I want to and how much I want of it.

I miss being offered a seat on the train because everyone thinks I'm pregnant. Standing in high heels for a 40 minute journey while the train is swaying from side to side and everyone's banging into each other is no fun at all - I'm knackered before I've even get to work from all the effort it takes to not fall flat on my *kitten*

Cons of Skinny?
-like a lot of people have said being comfortable chairs and matressess are painful!
- the attention from men. I am walking my dog, please don't yell out of your car window, make remarks to your mates when you walk past me at the shops etc..... I am 100% the same person insided, I was ignored by random men for 21 years, so if you give me attention just cause I'm skinny? I know it's not genuine and I don't fall for it.
- no boobs
- clothes selling out of your size



(I lost 40lbs, then regained them in 3 months and now have lot 10 of them again)

i'll miss not being "stressed" or having to think about what i ate.
the food freedom for lack of a better way to say it

bulbadoof

My favorite shirt that is way too big for me anymore, monthly Chinese buffet with my mom, my boobs, men leaving me alone when I'm minding my own business in public, and not being annoyed by my overweight friends when they say "I can't lose weight no matter what I do - hey, wanna go to Burger King?"

GemmaRowlands

I miss:

- Not being able to eat what I want without caring (I genuinely didn't care what I looked like when I was at my heaviest, it was a health issue that made me lose weight).
- Not being able to sit for a long time and still be comfy (my tail bone kills if I sit for more than about 20 minutes).
- My boobs.
- Being friends with guys without them trying to get into my pants.
- Being friends with girls without them being scared I was after their boyfriends.
- Not spending so much money on clothes.
- Being able to get ready in 5 minutes in the morning.. now I struggle to choose what to wear, doing my hair nicely and my make up.
- Not getting a seat on the train from some kind old lady who thinks I'm with child.
- Can't cuddle with my boyfriend without my hip bones becoming ridiculously uncomfortable and digging into him.

Overall, losing weight has made me realise that people will always be shallow. You're expected to make a huge effort when you're slim; something that was never expected of me before.

Of course I wouldn't change it for the world. I've worked very hard for almost three years, and have lost half of my original body weight, but there are negatives to every story.

Other than missing being as full as possible and eating chineese food every night i miss nothing what so ever

aforange

I miss not caring.

iceqieen

when i carry heavy things i used to cushion myself balancing boxes or whatever using my fat...now it just hurts lol.

so true! Now my arms actually have to put in some effort

LesliePierceRN

I used to eat a lot more cake. I miss cake. But not enough to go back to being fat..

Here are a few things I've noticed..

1.) I get cold a lot more than I did when I was fat. Brrrr...
2.) The attention I get from men.. Its just annoying!
3.) I miss NOT counting calories.
4.) I HATE my boobs now. I wish I had the money for fakes even though I'd prefer my old naturals. Booo. This is probably the worst! I've never had this problem until now.
