    I don't miss anything about the old me.

    And I was always cold when I was fat.

    Me neither. Even boobs are the same. And I don't understand being cold at normal weight, I get warm when I move, and I move a lot more 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)

    This exactly. Not caring about what I eat because 'I'm already fat anyway'... it was kinda nice. I don't miss all the other stuff that came with being obese though..

    Yeah, this. I used to eat anything I wanted without caring. Now if I eat something bad, I really feel bad physically and emotionally.

    I'm with you on the drink front though then again I did not have to drink too much to feel tipsy anyway. However these days it seems to be after one bottle of beer and I'm half tipsy.

    Nothing, I still have times of indulgence now, but I get back on track, although i still have the guilt and depression from the overeating which I had all the time before I lost weight!

    I miss not weighing everything, but mainly because I'm lazy. :laugh:

    I miss my Lane Bryant bras they were so sturdy and worth the 42 bucks.

    Yup, I miss my boobs too lol. Every ten pounds I lost I also lost a cup size. Started at 167 lbs with a 36D and now I'm 135 lbs with a 34 B lol. My fiance misses them too :P

    I wish!! As the rest of me has reduced my boobs just look even more disproportionately large - I am worried that my neck and shoulders will have been reduced to complete scrag end before my boobs become a reasonable size.

    The only thing I "miss" (I'm not sure that I actually miss it, really, I think it was just such a normal part of my life for so long that it feels odd to not have it be at the forefront any longer) is the ability to eat whatever I wanted and have no consideration for the quality or portions.

    3 lbs of Chinese food? Sure! A 10 piece nugget combo meal (large, of course) AND a double cheeseburger b/c I couldn't decide which I'd rather have? Totally normal.

    Basically, I ate anything that sounded good at the time.... all day, every day.

    Now I can't pick up anything without checking the label & planning the rest of my day around that one item (if I haven't pre-logged). It's sooooo worth it, and I'll never go back, but sometimes I just want a cheeseburger and fries without feeling like I'm undoing a week's worth of work.

    I don't miss anything at all. Primarily because even if I ate awful foods and gorged myself, I just felt terrible and guilty afterwards. Now I get full without all of the shame and guilt associated with eating things I know I shouldn't.

    I miss my boobs... It's like they were there and then bam gone. It's not that I mind them being smaller per say, it is more about the shape or something.

    My dear husband noticed them too yesterday... I'm thinking about getting small implants just to improve the shape and sag.

    Other than that, I don't miss anything about the old me!!

    This, definitely. Though mine's not so much missing it from losing weight, though that's part of it. Mine's from being diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension.

    However, I am glad I'm 100% aware of what I'm putting in my pie-hole nowadays.

    I can't wait to be cold! I HATE being a fat person who loves the beach, the heat from my own body just kills me (and yes, I wear a "fatkini")

    I'm ditto-ing the "being hot" all the time. Or at least the temperature regulation - I always wore thick hoodies when I was fat, but now I can't get warm wearing an undershirt, a shirt, a sweater and a coat. Indoors! (Mind my office is freakin' cold...)

    Stuffing all the unhealthy food I wanted into my gnashing maw without thinking twice about it. Ironically, my grocery bill was cheaper, too.

    I miss my gut-shelf. When sitting on the couch it was a great shelf for my beer, my book or the remote control.

    I miss not having to obsess about calories, protein, saturated fat, fiber, ect. Oh, what I'd give not to have to think about every bite I eat and still lose weight.

    I miss that I don't have any padding on my butt so most chairs seem to hurt.

    I miss that I can't prop my arm on the car window when it's down. My arm's got no padding either.

    I miss that I can't walk 10 yards at work without someone commenting on the fact that I've lost weight. Everyone has been so genuinely pleased for me that it's touching, but I really wish they'd just shut up now and talk about work..

    I don't miss anything about food, even though there are a load of foods I just avoid. There's enough variety out there that it's no issue. I don't even miss that my boobs have shrunk. My old boobs would look ridiculous with the rest of my new bod.
