    Eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and being totally oblivious as to what it was doing to my body. Not thinking about calories or nothin'. Just enjoying the food -- the nice creamy processed kind.

    Amen. If ignorance was bliss that is what I will miss most. Not caring a thing about scarfing down jelly donuts whenever they came my way. I of course NEVER bought them - just knocked everyone out of my way so I could get there first! Now that I am no longer ignorant I have a hard time allowing myself to even drink a diet soda. I used to love the super big gulps! I have a difficult time allowing myself to eat anything that I know has high fructose corn syrup in it or even corn syrup in it. I just don't want to do that to myself anymore!

    Unfortunately I still get the applause when I run down the hall, but I am hoping for the cheering section to go away over time! = D

    I still occasional get surprised by a random a short burst of applause during my Zumba Class, but I just keep on moving...shamelessly I let everyone know the applause was for me...no need to be alarmed!

    Thank you so much for this thread I really needed a good laugh and I definetly got it from reading all the post.

    I miss my clothes and shoes! I don't miss the big girl styles just the amount that I had, since I had been big for so long I had lots of clothes now that I have lost I don't have hardly any and have to do laundry more often. However, I have not met goal so I am not shopping until I do!

    This is such a cute thread....
    What I miss about being over weight....

    Before: The thought that pops into my head is that at night if I wanted food and it was almost bedtime that I would just eat what I wanted when I wanted it. Mostly I remember Chocolate malts!

    Now, besides not eating after supper time, I eat just about what ever I want, when I want it - Just that What I want has to be healthy for me and When I want it has to be no more than every 2-3 hours. Chocolate Malts now are Protein Shakes -- and I get one for Breakfast! (How cool is that...a chocolate Malt for breakfast!)

    Nothing!
  • I will miss being oblivious about my body. I knew I was heavier the last 8 or so years so I didn't feel uncomfortable or anything. I will also miss eating whatever I wanted and not thinking about it... and DEFINITELY my boobs! Not that I necessarily had much to work with beforehand but DANGIT!
