Is there anything you miss about being fat?

Being able to comfortably sleep on my side! haha There is no cushion anymore, and my hipbone is *sharp*!0

Yeah, my boobs. They were the only things that looked really nice when I was fat, and now that I'm losing weight, they're definitely going to be remade once I reach my goal. *smdh*0

i think everything i miss is also a positive- and not just in a 'you aren't fat nay more' kind of way.
not miss exactly, but not thinking i was fat? i don't know if that makes sense, but i think i'm more dissatisfied and judgemental when i look in a mirror now, though i know in my mind i look better (just can't see it through my eyes!)
and i can't eat as much as i used to so never have puddings any more!; again, this is good cos i don't feel compelled to eat if i go out for a meal or something, whereas before i would do and kind of eat for the sake of it.0 -
My mattress used to be more comfortable when I was bigger, now it hurts my back, and my boobs ;-)0

MY BEWBSSSSS!! they were like a fulll C when i was heavy;..and now they are just a regular B and my *kitten* got a lil smaller too =/ but thats always there! haha0

Well, I can honestly say I'm not going to miss MY boobs!0

I miss my boobs which I guess is common for some and I miss eating without thinking.
BUT I love the way I feel in my own body so much more.0 -
my butt becusae the chairs are a lot harder now
Saddly I noticed this already..sitting on a bench outside on break I was like why does this hurt my *kitten*..0 -
I can't think of one thing that I miss about being bigger. I'm happy that I made the changes that I have made. Now, it is all about staying fit.0

my boobs

Eating without anxiety. Being able to eat a bowl of cereal and not freak out about it because I can only ”afford” the milk or the cereal, not both.0

I don't miss much. Yeah, my *kitten* and boobs are smaller but they look/feel better to me now.
I DO miss a few really cute outfits I can't wear anymore. Other than that, nothing.0 -
being able to eat what I want (I do that most of the time though, but just (usually in moderation)).... with out feeling guilty or knowing I'm going to enter it in to the diary latter...
I don't miss my old face and I wish my breasts would just shrink one cup size to a C.. that would be great0 -

I have a similar problem - I am a side/stomach sleeper, and my body got used to sleeping with my arm propped up on my flank. Now there's no flank and I have to put a pillow under my arm or I wake up with a sore shoulder.0 -

Haha That made me laugh.
I have been thin before so I've now been on both sides of the coin. What bothers me most are social things:
1) While it's nice to be found attractive, I miss being able to "hide out" sometimes from uncomfortable amounts of male attention (especially when a guy is already with another woman and he ogles or tries to flirt openly with me). Also, male waiters can be the same way with me in front of my husband, which is totally inappropriate, and makes me feel uncomfortable. I mean, we're all human and other people in the world are attractive, but there's a line that shouldn't be crossed.
2) Some women can get weirdly jealous and catty and try to "1-up" me in some way (even women in my family, which breaks my heart). I'm one of those people that likes everybody to feel relaxed and happy in a given situation, so it's really tough for me when people react this way. It's taken me YEARS to understand that I can't pacify insecure people by muting myself in some way (whether by dressing down, fattening up, or shutting up). To quote one of my favorite comedians, Wanda Sykes, "I'm a Be Me."
On the flipside, when fit and healthy, other healthy and happy folks seem to gravitate toward me as well, and I've had the privilege of meeting many awesome people who don't do either of these things.
Oh, and 3) Boobs j/k0 -

This!
Also, I miss always being warm, for some reason I am always freezing now... and of course I miss being able to just eat pizza and eat sweets and not really think twice about it.0
