Things i will miss about being FAT......NOT

expressing a strong preference for tables over booths - really just in case I don't fit
pretending to be really bothered by the dangerousness of amusement park rides - really just in case I don't fit
not traveling by plane in case I don't fit
going for the chair w/o arms in case I don't fit comfortably into the chair with arms
only buying LONG pendant necklaces in case the short necklaces don't fit
avoiding the non-disabled stall in public restrooms in case it's a tight fit
not going into regular clothing stores ever, in case the largest size they have doesn't fit
avoiding motels/hotels because I love baths and their tub may be small so I don't easily fit

See a theme, there? haha I am not yet at "goal" but have surpassed these things being an issue...I am much happier now.

being a former all state O lineman then getting steamrolled by a 160 lb. skinny kid while chasing a loose ball in a pickup basketball game...


Wait, wut...


That's when I stopped doing cardio as my only form of exercise. Nevermind, carry on.

Feeling things jiggle when I run, yeah I won't miss that.

Writing on the board at school and feeling my arm move. I will be glad when that is gone. Tag lines of your pretty for your size or you wouldn't look as big if you were taller.
*shopping at Lane Bryant or Ashley Stewart.

Not being out of breath from walking from my car into the office.
Not shopping in the XL or Plus size clothing store.(paying more for clothing)
Not wearing dark colors to hide the weight
Not having a high blood sugar or blood pressure count(yay they are both down since I started MFP)
Most of all not having energy to do simple things in life, walking ,playing with the kids .

Asking for an extender belt on an airplane..
My food bills..
Snoring loud enough to wake the dead..
Bringing a change of clothes every day to work

I will miss feeling unpretty when I look in the mirror.
I will miss my "dinner rolls".
I will miss sweating in places where you're not supposed to sweat--i.e. the underboob! (Had to be honest and go there.)
I will miss my muffin top.
I will miss having to tuck my lower belly into my pants and skirts.
I will miss my extra chin.
I will miss feeling like a popped can of biscuits in my clothes.
I will miss my joint discomfort.
I will miss the feelings of lethargy and apathy.

NOT!

1. Lane Bryant, Ashley Stewart, or Torrid.
2. People noticing my boobs before my face.
3. People taking pics of just my face without even asking if I wanted to have my body taken.
4. Crying in fitting rooms.
5. Settling.
6. Being the fat , dark friend.
7.A horrible attitude I had.
One piece swimsuits.
Last but not least, going to a club, bar or resturaunt pretty much anywhere and seeing the same exact outfits bc they got them from one of the plus size stores that I mentioned in number 1.

- Not having a seatbelt fit
- Not finding my size usually 99% of the time.
- Not getting respect, just about anywhere
- Having bad balance
- Fearing running into old friends/bfs
- Cringing at my own reflection in any mirror.
- Never ending back pain
- Poor stamina
- Never satisfied with any amount of food

im gonna miss being nervous everytime i go for a walk that someone is gonna shout horrible things about me being fat...has only happened once, but it definitely scarred me... i think about it every time

I hear ya. I have actually been happy for people to scream "B**CH" at me just because they didn't include "FAT..." at the beginning. Messed up.

I'll miss dreading going swimming and having to take my shorts off
worrying whether or not I'll fit in the roller coaster
worrying whether or not I'll be able to make the ~mile walk without being out of breath/sweaty
never feeling pretty
& not being able to shop in stores with actual cute clothes!

I second the cute face comments & being the biggest person in the room too.

Feeling things jiggle when I run, yeah I won't miss that.

I think about that every time I run. x_x Can't wait for that to go away.

Not being able to sit in my parents wicker yard furniture.
NOT Buying whatever I think is cute because it simply won't fit
Panic attacks in the dressing rooms
Looking down when I enter a room with a mirror so I don't see myself
Things jiggling when I walk
Having my fat rolls swallow my bra band (yeah I went there)
Back pains
Having to wear long pants and tees in the summer and sweatting my butt off
Feeling like everyone is looking and laughing at me
And my second chin!

I will miss not buying new clothes because there is no point wasting money on nice clothes if I will look bad in them either way, might as well just sew ugly patches on the ugly old clothes.
My mum's comments (e.g. when I said I would make her eat 3 meals a day if she was living with me, bear in mind she is underweight because of a lot of food phobias she suddenly developed after the menopause, she said "I'll get so fat! I bet YOU eat 3 meals a day, don't you!")

Chub rub.
