    I miss the freedom with which I used to eat. I miss shopping for, and eating, whatever I felt like on a whim, and not having to consider whether or not it fits into my day, or how I'm going to fit it in, and plan everything out.

    I miss feeling a bit more comfortable sitting (and whenever I bump into things because I'm so clumsy) - everything is so uncomfortable now without the extra padding.

    I miss not being cold all the time.

    And boobs.

    Still totally worth it though.

    Warmth and padding, it really hurts sitting or laying on hard seats, the floor, etc now. :(

    Weekly strength gains, now it's a struggle to even maintain a 295 bench.

    I miss all the clothes I donated that were a bit snug, wish I had them back because they would fit just right now.

    I don't miss it much...but enjoying things like an enormous Starbucks white mocha with whip, or five cookies at a time, without feeling much guilt or concern.

    (FTR I indulge a lot, do the 'fit your macros' thing...but I sometimes miss that completely blissful, oblivious snacking)

    +1

    Also miss the body fat insulation in the winter. I feel cold all the time between fall and spring!

    I miss the chivalry in the office when it came to lifting heavy boxes....now they know I can lift without much issue.....must not show my true strength in the office...or I might do all the lifting!

    and oddly my alcohol tolerance has increased as I am losing. when I was fluffier I would have one beer and my head would spin...now it takes at least 2-3 for me to feel anything

    A part of me says 'I don't miss a THING'!

    Another part of me misses the 'whatever' attitude - 'I ate half a pizza - WHATEVER'!

    I guess I'd rather care - than be chubby though.

    This.

    I miss not thinking about stuff that I ate. I jsut ate and had a great time doing it. But I'd rather think about what I am eating than be the sizeI was.

    I miss eating whatever I wanted when I wanted it without guilt. Really miss a cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. I can't eat it anymore since I had my gallbladder out. Makes me sick. :(

    I live in the Canadia prairies... so the insulation against the brutal cold.



    I am also so very aware of the money I will be missing once I reach my final goal so that I may acquire all the nice clothes I would never have otherwise. But the chub? Ain't gonna miss that!

    Donating blood is harder! I reacted to the citrate and I've NEVER had a reaction before. Also, when I get down to my goal weight, I'll have to start donating single red vs double red (for a double red donation, females must weigh at least 150 lbs).

    I miss my boobs!

    I have about 20 more pounds to go, and I'm sitting at a low b-cup. I was never a large chested women, the biggest they were was a low C, but I kinda liked having a low C.

    I agree with this entire statement!!

    :frown:
    Absolutely miss nothing at all.....



    ....except my boobs - I do kinda miss those a little lol

    I have started saving for a boob lift, maybe an actual augmentation depending on how they turn out when I'm at goal! I am fine with losing a LOT of things along with the weight, but the girls are NOT one (two?) of them! :grumble:

    Alcohol tolerance and how I react to some medicines. I used to not get drowsy if I was taking some medication. Now I do.
    BUT I DON'T MIND AT ALL :)

    Skipping shaving because my legs were always covered. Even in 100 degree heat. Because I was ashamed of them.

    Baking delicious desserts. It's just my husband and I, so only us around to consume the calories. I used to bake a dessert weekly, not anymore. :( Oh, well better than being a chubster!

    I agree with most things said here: the "I don;t care" feeling about indulging in 15 cookies at a time., the ability to not be tipsy after one drink (Seriously'?) and not be cold.. And my boobs. haha
    BUT none of these hold a candle to the well being I am feeling now that I am 115lbs lighter!

    A couple of things that have worked for me are cutting down recipes so that I can bake something delicious in smaller quantities that are easier to fit into my day, and baking things that freeze well in small portions (eg. I've got a brownie recipe that still tastes amazing frozen/defrosted, and freeze raw cookie dough in individual cookie portions to bake.) Still, I do bake less often than I used to.

    I miss having an *kitten* that doesn't look like two CD cases standing next to each other.

    Being in complete denial about calories intake. Somehow, it was easier...

    - More money (extensive shopping)
    - Worrying too much about gaining the weight back
    - Not being noticed by men at all (it's a chore to always want to look attractive, and unsettling when men start to pay attention to you)
    - No negative comments from haters
    - Not cooking, it was more convenient to always order take out

    - The extra padding on my backside when sitting on unpadded chairs and benches

    Wow, I totally forgot about that. I lost my initial big weight when I was heading to university and it was a time when I took a lot of busses. I remember coming onto a bus, sitting down and just being absolutely uncomfortable from my tailbone and spine pressing into the seat.

    I miss baking.

    I miss getting good deals on junk food. Walmart was having a sale on Oreos. $1.67 instead of the usual $3.99. I got really excited until I realized I'd maybe get through one box in a month.

    I'd miss some of the favourite shirts,pants or dresses that I owned but which didn't fit and I could no longer re-purchase in a smaller size.

    I made an adorable and delicious mini pound cake this week that totally fit in my calories (well, as long as you don't eat the whole thing), and their cupcake recipes make 4 cupcakes, which isn't too bad at all.

    nothing...

    Am I chilly a lot yup...I just have really cute sweaters to wear.
    Did I lose my girls...mostly but now I can wear those cute little bras again
    inattentive eating...maybe a bit but to be frank I still do it, it's just prelogged...ie chocolate bar at night...I sit and eat it all without thinking...I enjoy it all tho.

    I still bake all the time just eat less of it, money spent on cloths....eh I just don't have a huge wardrobe anymore (huge being in numbers of items and size)
